Hey all, I was really happy to see an EQ2 Emulator in the works. I haven't played on live recently, not since TSO. So I thought it would be fun to give this a try and see what you all have created Well I did a fresh install of TSO off the retail discs and did not patch anything. I created an account, logged in, made a character, but am having issues getting into the game. I can only get into one server, something denofshadows, the community one is locked, and Tess and Cookies just lag out at name approval. I tried creating a couple chars on the one server I could log into (denofshadows) and I crash once the zone finishes loading. Any suggestions on what to try next?

I was thinking of updating to the most recent compatible patch for better stability?, Is there a way to do this without going beyond what is compatible?

Really appreciate all the hard work and time that has been spent to create an emulator for this game.

Welcome to the Community

Good to see you got stuck in straight away, as for your patch suggestion you could try Image's 3rd Party Patcher, but I am not sure how useful it will be in this situation. As of yet, there is no surefire way to patch to a particular version utilizing Sony's official patcher.

Good to have you around!
