PLEASE NOTE - UPDATE AS OF 9/30/23 (after the recording of this video): As per Secrets on Discord: Please ensure you have TAKP's v2.2 client ahead of launch (Larry's note: my video directs you to use 2.1, which I've personally had no issues with during beta, but that may mean nothing.) On step 2, just download the link BELOW the 2.1 link or just click on this: ( drive.google.com/file/d/1qoBktDeJMJKPBr-EZxub1vspJhz11i1y ) If you haven't already ahead of launch, please make sure that if you're running the TAKP client, that you may want to ensure you're running the 2.2 client, not the 2.1 client ahead of launch. There are a few crash issues that are resolved in that version that are not resolved in the 2.1 client. You may experience crashing on zoning among other issues. We will not be helping with unverified technical issues for individual players on launch. Please do not ping us.
Thanks for putting this together! One nitpick is the end-of-video youtube overlay thing covers a bit of that final step. Dunno if you're able to change that or not.
Had no trouble installing a year ago, now I'm having issues. I have to go into the file and click eqgame to play, but cannot make a short cut. My characters cannot get out of first person view either, any tips?
Please note that if you are using a newer amd cpu, emulated EQ may not work. The processors are just too fast. You will have to lower the clock multiplier in bios, there is no other way I have explored every option.
@@Maxamos I think it depends on the processor. I have a 7950x and I change to multiplier from 45 to 42 if I recall correctly. just keep dropping it 1 by 1 until the game runs.
I tried to play everquest project quarm feels like i keep jumping through hoops and running a maze and game crashes then i try again game crashes and i cant figure out why.I am at a point of giving up.
I don't have or want discord. Do i need to link the quarm to client? If so, what is an alternative way to get the eq.dll file? (not giving my phone number to discord or anyone else)
right, the captcha on the create login page is blocking me from making an account -- how do i know what server names they have? it wants a server name lol
Hi /waves. wondering if i dled something wrong i keep spinning around glitching at character select cant use anything on screen sadj. Any help would be appreciated:}.
Hi there! Are you running an AMD processor? If so, you'll want to make sure that you go to the Quarm Discord in the #server-files section, and download the latest experimental eqgame.dll which fixes an issue with AMD processors.
Yes! As long as they are in different folders, there shouldn't be an issue, however, if you happen to be using an AMD processor as well as the AMD fix for Project Quarm, you may have to keep your processor underclocked in order to run P99. Otherwise, you should be good!
Hold on...the second file from discord. Are we unzipping to the first folder, or just dragging eqgame.dll to the other folder? When I just drag it it gives an error saying "an unexpected error is keeping you from moving the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help..." This is damn frustrating
I just selected "skip" on the above error, and it seems to have copied... but when i run eqgame.exe it first shows a blank window titled "EQW beta 2.32" then a few seconds later I get another window titled "EverQuest startup Error" that says... "EverQuest was unable to initialize the file EQMAIN.DLL You may wish to try rebooting, deleting EQMAIN.DLL and restarting EverQuest"
Just to clarify; if I'm already playing Project 1999. Would this be a separate download client... IE, two different EQ folders with two different exe's on desktop?
Broken for M1 Mac running OS12, or no information provided-can’t copy a .DLL file into a Mac application because iMacs run .Dylib, not DLL. Want to play this super bad buuuut… :(
I hope you figured this out and have been running around Norrath on Quarm already, but just in case you haven't, you'll just want to run eqgame.exe in the Quarm directory. There may be a need for some eqclient.ini tweaks such as for your resolution and FPS settings.
Thank you for the response, and yes at level 12 now =). Sorry though, after I had figured it out, I forgot to remove this comment. Thanks again!@@LevelUpLarry
I am using Alkabor client to play on the actual Alkabor server. But I also want to try Quarm. Can I use the same Alkabor game account for both Alkabor and Quarm, and just extract the Alkabor files a 2nd time in a different folder for Quarm and use Secret's file only on that folder.
You’ll want to run eqgame.exe. Keep in mind that Quarm isn’t live until October 1 @ 2PM CT, so you’ll be able to get as far as the server select screen at this time.
someone please tell the team not to keep necessary resources on discord exclusively. ive seen years upon years of community compiled resources just disappear because private server teams decide to restructure their discord and delete entire threads of info. it's such an unnecessary risk.
oh wow. I haven't played this since PoP. i might just havd to give it a go again. I do miss my old Troll SK. And the Frogloks can still kiss my butt for kicking us trolls out of our home. 🤣
Not as easy as this video makes it look...I was unable to get it working. Was able to create a toon on Alkabor in a little tiny window but then something went wrong...now I get a black screen with a little tiny login window that is not correct.

cannot download. "Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please try accessing the file again later."
concept wouldn let me sign up too bad
Looking forward to playing on a server with no Krono bots, 20 boxers or RMT PL teams.
Thank you so much for the shout out, Larry! You took on everything I did not look forward to haha. We're almost there!
Linking this to all my future Project Quarm Everquest videos - great job as always! Liked and subbed!
Thanks for putting this together! One nitpick is the end-of-video youtube overlay thing covers a bit of that final step. Dunno if you're able to change that or not.
Thanks for calling that out. Fixed!
@@LevelUpLarry Nicely done thank you sir. :)
Just found out about this. Haven't played EQ since PoP (unless EQ2 counts) but I'm so freakin pumped to try this out
You missed out on project 1999 then
@@GeorgeTropicana I did. Never heard of it. Recently came across an article talking about PQ
@@1jasup this one's better anyway
Worked! If I can do it anyone following your steps. Ty !!
The best tutorial. Earned my sub.
Thanks so much Larry! You the man!
Thank you for doing this!
Dang I was hoping they'd have out of era gnome shadow knight, I'll have to re-evaluate what class/race combo to play
I just installed this using your guide, perfect walkthrough, I really appreciate this!
Thank you for this video. Can't wait!
Thanks for this, Larry! :)
My pleasure!
Thank you for putting this together.
You’re very welcome!
Had no trouble installing a year ago, now I'm having issues. I have to go into the file and click eqgame to play, but cannot make a short cut. My characters cannot get out of first person view either, any tips?
So how's the server population? Healthy? Lots of multiboxing happening?
Please note that if you are using a newer amd cpu, emulated EQ may not work. The processors are just too fast. You will have to lower the clock multiplier in bios, there is no other way I have explored every option.
Great mention! As a fellow, newer AMD user, I have to downclock my CPU to 4200 to run any emulated EQ server.
what do you reduce to? I am having this issue
@@Maxamos I think it depends on the processor. I have a 7950x and I change to multiplier from 45 to 42 if I recall correctly. just keep dropping it 1 by 1 until the game runs.
What the fuck, I just want to play the fucking game I don't know how to do all this nerd shit

Unfortunately, at this time, I believe the only way to get that system file (and future versions of it) will be on Discord.
@@LevelUpLarry Thanks for the Q & A video and this how to one also!!! :)
Larry, you are the best.
@1:39 what file is that though? zeal?
Anyone know what to do it the last step doesn’t give you the option to replace the files?
clean editing
under where its asking for what game.. i put Everquest.. but never got my confirmation email?
Trying to complete my account and it keeps saying that I haven’t completed the captcha I don’t see it anywhere
Cannot wait!!!!
The 'Windows' files in v2.1 and v2.2 download Macintosh files. Can you post an updated link?
i keep getting system error because of mss32.dll was not found any fix?
THANKS FOR THIS LARRY, SEE YOU IN GAME
Can’t wait, dude!
Thanks Larry
Thank you Larry!
right, the captcha on the create login page is blocking me from making an account -- how do i know what server names they have? it wants a server name lol
Oh no! Did you figure this out?
quick question: So when you install the "free the mouse" update, does that lock you in first person?
wont let me create login server account step 2 keeps saying invalid login but I am trying to create a login /shrug
i had troubles creating an account on the takp forums... i was successful when i switched to Edge and not firefox
my brother told me to get zeal also. what is that?

Hi there! Are you running an AMD processor? If so, you'll want to make sure that you go to the Quarm Discord in the #server-files section, and download the latest experimental eqgame.dll which fixes an issue with AMD processors.
How does one get on Project Quarm for discord?
Question, can i play p99 and Quarm at the same time without messing up either?
Yes! As long as they are in different folders, there shouldn't be an issue, however, if you happen to be using an AMD processor as well as the AMD fix for Project Quarm, you may have to keep your processor underclocked in order to run P99. Otherwise, you should be good!
Anyone know how to get past Captcha when signing up? i know its right but the website keeps telling me its wrong.
Can't get by this either
Discord link doesn't work
Anyone know how to make keyboard in other languages work? I have DK layout.
Hold on...the second file from discord. Are we unzipping to the first folder, or just dragging eqgame.dll to the other folder? When I just drag it it gives an error saying "an unexpected error is keeping you from moving the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help..."

having this issue too!@@sterlingcampbell2116
@@sterlingcampbell2116I got this same error. Damn.
@@sterlingcampbell2116don’t run the game from searching it.
Please help. I'm in the character creation screen and I see a character but there is no text on the menu items.
See if you can run dgvoodoo2Cpl in the EQ directory, then click “disable and passthru real DirectX”
There is a constant CAPTCHA error when trying to make an account and there doesn't seem to be a way to email an admin about it.
Is it asking the part that asks you to type in the game you're trying to play? I just typed in everquest and it worked
Just to clarify; if I'm already playing Project 1999. Would this be a separate download client... IE, two different EQ folders with two different exe's on desktop?
That's correct! Two separate folders, two separate .exe, zero conflicts! :)
How is this running on Windows 11? P99 crashes constantly no matter what I try. Let me back into Norrath, dammit!
Broken for M1 Mac running OS12, or no information provided-can’t copy a .DLL file into a Mac application because iMacs run .Dylib, not DLL. Want to play this super bad buuuut… :(
so are there enough players for this during EU primetime? or is this a mostly american thing like 1999
Discord link is expired...
Will this added file for Quarm prevent me from being able to log onto TAKP?
Yep, it will. You'll want to keep/have a separate folder for TAKP if you plan to still play on it.
I just did all of this. Where do I physically load the game now?
I hope you figured this out and have been running around Norrath on Quarm already, but just in case you haven't, you'll just want to run eqgame.exe in the Quarm directory. There may be a need for some eqclient.ini tweaks such as for your resolution and FPS settings.

is that a new server or just good ole al kabor?
Quarm is a new server launching this Sunday at 3pm ET, I believe! 1 box enforced.
I am using Alkabor client to play on the actual Alkabor server. But I also want to try Quarm. Can I use the same Alkabor game account for both Alkabor and Quarm, and just extract the Alkabor files a 2nd time in a different folder for Quarm and use Secret's file only on that folder.
yes
even better is just revert step 3 (save the original .dll file). That way any changes to keybinds or settings will carryover to Quarm!
Lets goooo
anyone else not having quarm show up as an option on the server list?
What file should you run to play?
You’ll want to run eqgame.exe. Keep in mind that Quarm isn’t live until October 1 @ 2PM CT, so you’ll be able to get as far as the server select screen at this time.
@@LevelUpLarry ok thank you :)
You did not complete the CAPTCHA verification properly. Please try again. - NOT to be found anywhere, and where are the discord link?
Did you ever find an answer to this, tried with 2 different browsers and a tablet.
Meh figured it out, I was looking for a captcha box.
Can't download it
Mate! 2.1gb, you need to give more time to download before moving on to the next step. /s
Isn't 2.2 required to not crash a bunch?
What is the file to launch the game?
eqgame.exe in your EverQuest directory. Make sure you run it from the directory, as opposed to searching for it and opening it there.
someone please tell the team not to keep necessary resources on discord exclusively. ive seen years upon years of community compiled resources just disappear because private server teams decide to restructure their discord and delete entire threads of info. it's such an unnecessary risk.
The project lead is a software engineer... I'm positive they are doing this properly as they have been involved in EQ emulation for a long long time.
yay more accounts.
oh wow. I haven't played this since PoP. i might just havd to give it a go again. I do miss my old Troll SK. And the Frogloks can still kiss my butt for kicking us trolls out of our home. 🤣
Everything is too small to see.
Yeah, I apologize for that. It's my first "set up" video and I just used my native ultrawide resolution due to time constraints. :(
Not as easy as this video makes it look...I was unable to get it working.
Was able to create a toon on Alkabor in a little tiny window but then something went wrong...now I get a black screen with a little tiny login window that is not correct.
Sadly just cant with the Janky mouse... just not playable.
