so far this patch was worth it. MQ2 wasn't even down for that long, and I don;t go LD all the time now.

Any word on status? I'm still getting "Incorrect Version" Errors and non-operational. Did a full fresh install into a new directiory using MQ2-20050131. I'm guessing someone will feel justified in flaming but this is longer than normal...something up?

What's the date on eqgame.exe?
What's the date in eqgame.h?
Why don't they match?

d:\MQ3\MQ2Main\ISXEQ\ISXEQ.h(16) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'isxdk.h': No such file or directory
ISXEQ.cpp

I am poking around and looking for an old copy to plug in but I think I may be asking for trouble if I do that.

The zip I downloaded was from: Post subject: MQ2 Latest Release -- January 31, 2005
MQ2 Latest Source Zip Last updated: January 31 2005 17:30:12 (MQ2-20050131).
-------------------------------------
Different location for current zip: ok...I am looking. Why do I feel like I'm a lamb being led to slaughter?


Arrrgh...ok...didnt think to look for the IS answer here..I went to the IS site. I will get this cross-referencing down.

That all looks right. You are running an old mq2main.dll. Delete all of them from your system and rebuild.
