Stuck on character creation

I can log into the WR server, I can get my character created but once I hit next, I get a client crash. Tried a reboot, tried repatching through EQLive. No luck. I have only installed up to PoP, and nothing beyond. What can I do to fix this?
 
Thanks for the suggestion Homogenn. However, I installed the hotfix prior to my attempting to make a character, but still could not get past the character creation screen. Anything else it could be?
 
thanks!

i had this problem.. ill try your idea for a fix! :)_

sorry about my post on the other topic.. it is all a waste now i guesss
 
Fixed, then bugged?

hi i downloaded the hotfix it seemed to work, i dont crash, but now i dont have a " NEXT " button to press so i cant even move forward!


or an "EXIT" button so i guess ESC still works... but yeah.... so whats up with that? cant make a new char, cant play.
 
I'm having the exact same problem.

I've downloaded the hotfix, unzipped it, put it in the default folder. But i still get a client crash. Am I doing something wrong?
 
You know the next button?

You know the next button? you see when your ready to move, on with the charactor creation thing? well its GONE.... so yeah im kinda screwed.
 
I'm sorry to post again but it seems the thread got a little off topic.

I have had the same problem as Brastil. I can create a character no problem yet once I click next to get into the game, I can't advance past the second loading screen.

I first had problems with the patcher. I found out in the downloads section you can bypass the patcher and just download the files you need. So I have done that up to the current patch.

After that I downloaded the hotfix several times. On each time I also unzipped the files before I put them in the folders. First time I downloaded it straight to the default folder of the uifiles. Started the game created my character then the problem came up. Next time I put the files only in the folder uifiles. Still no luck. The third time I downloaded the files to my desktop then put them into the default folder of the uifiles. Still no luck. Forth time I downloaded the hotfix again to the desktop and put the files in the uifiles folder. And once again no luck.

I'm confused on where to go to from here. I don't know if I've done something wrong, or if things just aren't working. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
That's caused by the help.html being outdated, it should have been included in the hotfix. (which it is, I just checked)
 
Just an update. I did download the updated help.html file. I put it in all 4 folders again as before. I still got the same problem.
 
Not sure if this is it.. or already said

but i believe someone said they put it in default folder.. for me was C:/everquest (somethign like that)
but everquest is actually for me C:/program files/everquest

i actually have both so put the fix in both and i believe it solved the problem for me
 
maybe im just confused but is see people saying they put the help.html file in X number of folders. Doesn't it only need to go into ONE folder?

...\Everquest\help ??

if you unzip the hotfix, copy the folders it extracts ('help' and 'uifiles'), and paste them into ...\Everquest everything goes into the right place. You should get a prompt saying "So and So file already exists. Do you want to overwrite?" to which the correct answer is YES TO ALL.

If you don't understand the windows folder hierarchy system or that for a program to run properly you must put the files in the one place the program will look for it, say so. i or someone else can explain it for ya.
 
Thats what he has done several times. I got WR to work just fine and I have walked him through it like 20 times doing the hot fix and doing the UI file. We did everything in the walk through but for some reason it will not let him play the chracter he created. Still have not figured out what is wrong with his system
 
Ok Edge and I spent 4 hours trying to figure this thing out...amazingly we, well Edge figured out the problem.

I did everything correct, except the help file. The help file needed to be put into my help folder. No clue why, but that's what did it for me.
