Can You Install and Start EverQuest Titanium Edition?

No, But I Have Another Version

Unfortunately Project 1999 only works with the Titanium client. Please read Acquiring The EverQuest Client.

Do You Have a Physical Copy of the EverQuest Titanium CDs?

No

That's ok! Many of Project 1999's users don't have their old Everquest Titanium discs. Please read Acquiring The EverQuest Client.

Yes

Try following the Everquest Titanium Installation Guide first to see if it helps solve your problem.

Do you have a Digital Copy of the EverQuest Titanium Client?

No

In order to play on Project 1999 you will need either a physical or digital copy of EverQuest Titanium. Please read Acquiring The EverQuest Client

Yes

Try following the Everquest Titanium Installation Guide first to see if it helps solve your problem.

Does Your (Installed) Software Work?

No, Even Though I Installed the Official Patch

Unfortunately the software was designed to connect to the SOE's servers, not Project 1999's, and if you patch through the official system the Project 199 patch won't work. Luckily this is easy to fix: you just have to uninstall EverQuest and re-install it, without installing the official patch this time. See the Everquest Titanium Installation Guide for help.

No, I Haven't Installed Any Patches

To make Project 1999 you need to download the latest patch file from [www.project1999.com], unzip it, and then copy all of the files from it to your EverQuest folder.

No, and I Have Only Installed the Project 1999 Patch

At this point you should be able to login to Project 1999, assuming you created an account (see [www.project1999.com] for details). If things still aren't working you likely have an operating system or hardware issue.

Someday this guide aims to tackle all of these issues, but for now please see the Technical Discussion Forum.
