EQ 1 not launching after update 7/31/13

After launching char set from Innerspace (like I always do -- did yesterday and it worked) background hourglass appears on mouse curser and then nothing happens. I rolled back innerspace to 5879 using https://www.lavishsoft.com/innerspace/archives and my char sets launch like normal.

Something screwed up in this last release.

Thanks.

Interesting.... are you playing EQ1 on an emu server?

Luckily nothing much has changed between these two versions so I have a test build (5885) for you already. Right click Inner Space and select Patcher, check "Download development (test) patches" and then close and restart Inner Space to let it patch up. Let me know if this helps

Thanks, I'll patch now and reply with results.

I'm playing straight up SOE, Bristlebane server.

I right-clicked innerspace, selected patcher. While "patch at startup" is unselected, I selected the box next to 'download development test patch". I then turned off innerspace, restarted it, selected patcher and clicked "patch these files". Back to nothing working.

Now to redownload the old/other patch again...

Any idea why the the latest build doesn't work for me? Description of what I see when I right click innerspace and choose a char set: Task manager shows eqgame.exe for 4 sec and then it disappears. All I see is a background hourglass on my mouse pointer for 2 sec.

Build 5879 works to play, but when I log out each box crashes (windows thinks they did anyway).

I've cleaned up the drive (temp files, etc...)

I've not reinstalled anything as of yet besides rolling back the build.

The test build (5885) isn't working for me either...

If you get a chance, please try today's development build -- 5890. Right click IS, select Patcher, check "Download development (test) patches" and then close and restart Inner Space and let it patch up.

YES! Build 5892 works!! Thanks so much. :) :)

Still crashing after /camp desktop though, but no big deal since the game itself closed/camps out correctly. Not too sure it's isboxer doing this, so Thanks much!

The /camp desktop crash is unrelated to ISBoxer: SoE Forum link

Ahhhh, that explains why I was also getting an "EQ has crashed" popup after camping to desktop. Couldn't tell if it was EQ, or Boxer, or something on my desktop interfering with either or both. Nice to see SOE is still pushing out quality patches. :lol:
