Hello

I am getting an error right when I login that

Login Rejected: The Clients version does not match the server's. Please re-run the patcher.

This is a fresh install from the sentinals fate cd's. Except I am using an eq2_default.ini from a more current live version.

Could not cause the issue.

Reason I have a more up to date eq2_default file is with the Sentinals Fate base install the game wouldnt even open for some reason. So tested that and got game to open now other error

This is where I read for my version on the connect guide

To play on the emulator you must first have a legal copy of Sentinel's Fate, or a previous version (ROK/TSO) patched to the current SF version that will work on the emulator

I see it says patched to current SF, do I need to patch up at all or none from install

In game I am seeing it is Version 6120

Ok thinking maybe my problem is with using Setinals Fate

In the Connect Guide it mentions to use that version but I see on the front page

I'm sorry to say Sentinel's Fate is still not working properly, so the highest client version for this server pack is 6196L (recommended 6118L)

There are a lot of changes of the inner working's that happened with Sentinel's Fate that have not been worked out yet from a emulator perspective. It's being worked on to get SF compatible.

Ok so I need to go back to my previous plan to buy a copy of RoK on Ebay, its quite cheap

Just figured I didnt need to, as the Connect Guide said to use the Sentinals Fate version which I had.

We are a bit pre-mature announcing the use of SF - but so you know, once we release 0.7.0 of the emulator, SF client will likely be the only supported client going forward (that, plus it's live patches) due to the huge amount of changes that were made to the live game during that expansion.

This is still not official though, so that's why it's a little mysterious and confusing.

You will be able to use SF client, soon enough. But if you cannot wait for us to get our (bleep) together, then RoK might work - though it is extremely out-dated. I do not really recommend ROK. TSO is better, but even that has started to fall off our compatibility list due to the changes I mentioned (models, gfx, zones, UI, etc)

Np, thanks for the update

I will just wait for the update to use the SF client, as I already have those CD's waiting.

Thanks

Oooooh...

Going to have to keep an eye out for that so I can backup my live directory for use! (I got the DD of Sentinel's Fate as SOE were failing to get boxed versions to england in a timely manner)

Generally speaking we try to make the big updates compatible, so your next best bet will be the May GU56 update. no promises though...

I got it working with Sentinals Fate Install and then running the EQ2Emupatcher software, it replaced the everquest.exe file and works for me to login now.

So am in messing around and testing and learning.

Thanks
