for the past week ive been battling with an error in the EQgame.exe file. i tried everything i could think of and a few things ive read in forums, none of it worked. The only way i could fix it was to completely uninstall the game, reinstall (patch) everything including the appropriate expansions, so i undertook this forever long task. in fact, i completed it 3 times now because the only way i can get the game to not give me an EQgame. exe error was to reinstall it. after each reinstall, i could log on once and after that i got the EQgame.exe error everytime, regardless of the numbers of repatches.
i even went so far as to reformat my computer hoping that would solve the problem. it did, momentarily. i finished the reinstall yesterday night, signed on just fine. signed on today and after about an hour or two of playing, i zoned and in the middle was booted. the window itself didnt crash, it jsut kinda started over at the connect screen with the barbarian guy. so i tried to sign back on and it gave me the 1017 error, i then repatched all, because thats what it hints to do, and it gave me the EQgame.exe error. so now im in a vicious cycle of getting to the server login screen, it restarts, i try again and it goes to 1017 error, so i repatch and then get the EQgame.exe....wash rinse repeat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. seriously. SoD is a great game but this is gettin kinda discouraging.
