Incorrect Client Version

From MacroQuest Wiki

mq2main.dll checks the eqgame.exe client version to guarantee that you have the correct offsets/structures.

The date/time that is checked is in the eqgame.h file:

#define __ExpectedVersionDate                              "Apr 11 2005"
#define __ExpectedVersionTime                              "14:42:23"
#define __ActualVersionDate                                0x614CC4
#define __ActualVersionTime                                0x614CD0

The eqgame.exe client version is stored in the binary. The date on the file is when you downloaded it. For the April 12, 2005 patch as above, you can check these values with windbg. From your everquest directory, type:

windbg -Q eqgame.exe patchme

Then in the command window:

da 0x614CC4
da 0x614CD0

It should match the expected values. If the expected values are later then the actual values, you need to patch everquest. If the actual values are later, then you need to patch MQ. If you think you've already patched and recompiled MQ, then you are using the wrong mq2main.dll.
