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?

Did you forget to download the new MQ2 zip?

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.

remove ISXEQ from the solution, you dont need to compile it

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.
