Downloading game files.

Yiago Lifesaver · 01-24-2003, 07:30 PM

Long story short, lost the Luclin disk and trying to install on a new machine. Now I know if you delete some of the files the patcher will replace them. The question I have is this: Exactly what do I need to copy from my old computer to get my new computer to think the luclin disk is on it.

Thanks in advance for any helpful responses.

Just copy the patcher, lpatch.exe, and all those sorts of things (and the patcher XML files), and that SHOULD (in theory) work. I make no assertions about success, though. I don't know 100% how the patcher ascertains installations of expansions.

If I were you I'd just spend a few cd's and backup the entire directory...

Just copying the *patch.exe files used to work fine. But after Luclin was released they set a limit on the amount of data you can DL from the patch server. Limit is so low the patch won't even run from just installing an original EQ cd too.

EQ doesn't make any registry entries (necessary ones, anyway), so you can just copy the EQ directory from your old computer to your new one... preferably over a network, but copied in segments on CD's works too. That's how I did it a year ago or so.
