Unfortunatly, I have nothing like that. So would a fresh install potentially be needed?

"fresh install" mq isn't really "installed" like you're probably thinking of.

is MQ otherwise working? like if you right click on it do you see windows?
if so, go to Open Folder -> Config
1723116879806.png

then MacroQuest.ini
1723116908244.png

you should see "mq2autologin=1" and not blank or "mq2autologin=0" under the [Plugins] section
INI: 
[Plugins]
mq2autologin=1

if you don't change that to =1
 
Is there any way to add a bit of delay between loading each client when you select "Launch All Starred"? I've been manually staggering my launches for a while now, but it would be really nice if it just did it by default.

The issue with all the clients opening so quickly when you use the Launch All function is it will sometimes bug out a client and load with full default settings, or reset Lua window locations. By staggering the launches by about 5 seconds between each launch prevents this from ever happening.

Hey gang, odd here, been using autologin and profiles for a year and when I logged in today... the profiles section is not being displayed on my mq options. Checked profile, autologin=1 and when I manually login, my autogroup and everything else in mq is working perfectly..... I did a repair, no change... thoughts?

Hey thanks for the response Sic, yeah checked everything all seems fine and it is odd that MQ2 is fully functional except the profile section. All my plugins are working but as you can see from the screen shot, only the profile section is missing from MQ2, goodness what could cause that? I checked it and mq2autologin is loaded, autogroup is working also, and it is odd that only that one section on MQ2 is not active? any ideas?

ok, I have disabled anti-virus, no change, the profile section does not show up on my mq2.... all the other areas are there... no profiles....

Also, when I manually log in with mq2 active, the following is in the top left corner, it indicates autologin is inactive, I have checked the mq2.ini and autologin is set =1.....

Any thoughts?

I'm getting this error tonight. I put in my password say "abc" and it corrupts to random junk like: 'Z l<A6r3

I'm unable to log in, I've restarted my computer. The rest of my system seems fine right now - I don't suspect bad memory or anything at this time.

I'm also unable to add new accounts either.

Has anyone else ran into this issue and fixed/solved it?

I ended up reinstalling very vanilla MQ, it prompted me for the master password, and everything is working again with nothing corrupted. So there might be something going on where the master password expires and doesn't prompt the user to re-enter it and thus you get junk for your passwords.
 
ok big brained folks, I am having a problem with macroquest. I posted this before but did not get any real traction on it so going to try again with what I have done and eliminated and maybe you folks can recommend my next course of action.

Ok here is the issue, autologin profiles section is missing from my mq2:
1724875033950.png

I have used the autologin for ages and suddenly it disappeared. My group was perfectly running and now I do not get the profile section to appear. This started happening on both my laptop and my desktop.

OK what I have done to investigate:
I turned off bit defender virus and firewall tool - no effect
I checked and all my exception rules were still there in bit defender (on or off) the virus protection is not affecting my operation of Mq2 when I load my toons and group them up.
When I manually activate my eqbc server and login to everquest manually, all is good. MQ2 is fully active and all my plugins are working, my group (once manually loaded) operates exactly as before.
This is the corner display when I get the server select screen:
1724875546949.png

This is the mq2 display at character select:
1724875591370.png

when on my character, I confirm I have 46 plugins loaded, everything runs perfectly... but I do not get the option for profiles at macroquest start up.......

ANYONE HELP??????

did you need to re-enter your password?

I made mine "save password forever" so i don't run into that

right click on MQ in systray -> "Open Config" under autologin -> "Settings" under "AutoLogin"
Click to expand...
yeah this is the core of the problem I think, this is my right click on mq in systray:
1724879129814.png
Only config I have is under open folder there is no autologin.... unless I am missing something...
 
The older date would be the last time you made any changes to it. The -shm and wal files I think are temporary files, meaning the database is being accessed by MQ currently. I would definitely check the saved password, as that has bitten me in the butt before.

ok folks I could not figure out how to repair it, I finally fully removed mq2 and installed from fresh and I have it fully functional again.... odd for sure.....

Hi all, hoping I can get some suggestions for this problem. Note that the problem appeared this morning and I have never experienced it before now. <Edit> it only happens when trying to log in with MQ / AutoLogin. I can run from the EQ launchpad with no problems.

I start the RG Launcher
After all the plugins, etc are loaded, I bring up the AutoLogin UI
I choose a profile set, character, and click Play
The login process gets as far as "Logging in to the server. Please wait....", but is stuck there <pic below>

1728318374427.png

The same thing happens, but for all 6 accounts, if I click "Launch Selected Group"

Here's what I've done so far, restarting PC after each if there was a change:

1. Checked for a Windows update - none.
2. Installed a Dell update
3. Updated my EQ folders to allow Read/Write/Execute/List permissions for Everyone.
4. Removed nvidia GE Force Experience
5. Checked Windows Services for Nahimic. It is there, but not running. "Startup Type" is Manual.
6. Fed up with Bitdefender, uninstalled it and made sure Windows Defender is on the job
7. "Terminated" MS Game Bar. Really - that's what the button is labelled lol

Please help! Thanks in advance.

Unplugging the modem didn't help, but this time I did see the "A connection to the server could not be found" flash by, twice in about a minute. I'm 99% sure this didn't happen before, but of course it could have. I do see the two events in the debug console.

I haven't seen that again in the last 10 minutes.
 
I should have said that I can log in the non-MQ way, using the EQ launch pad.

And your comment about autologin is EXACTLY why I didn't originally put my problem post in this forum. I also do not think it's an autologin problem.

Its a connection problem with the login server. It has nothing to do with autologin. Login server could also just be having a bad day.

I know it isn't an autologin problem - because you said that nothing has changed, and because the issue is sitting at the EQ screen.

I merged it here because your post title (autologin stuck...) was about mq2autologin, and it seemed like you thought it is an autologin issue (which means potentially other folks in the future looking for the same thing) might look here and see.

There's none need for snarky pms about it.
 
So you said launch pad gets through (and yeah that was very relevant)... Does bypassing the launchpad without MQ get through?

I ask in case your AV or firewall or whatever may have launcher and client under two separate entries. That doesn't make sense to me, but I've seen stranger.

Yes, I was able to start EQ and log in a character using a shortcut to the eqgame exe with "patchme" added to the command.
 
So I am starting to get more comfortable with everything, I am having one issue with auto log in. It keeps going to the EULA and does not seem to be opening with the launcher to skip it. Is there anyway to fix this or am I just stuck manually logging in each account?

you need to add your toons to autologin

The current MQ2Autologin RedGuide's video is based on the old autologin system, a new RG video is in the works, so things look different than that.

The new MQ2AutoLogin is really easy to setup once you have a feeling for what you're doing. If you check out these steps you'll be autologging in, in no time!

if you right click on your mq icon you can go to "Open Config" for autologin
1730475346589.png

then you want to go to profiles (you can start with accounts and work down, but this is the route i went to show you)
1730475368488.png

then you want to create a new group (or select a group you already made that you want to add accounts/characters to)
1730475378631.png

I'm creating "Hardknox" profile group
1730475392618.png

now I have the group, I want to add a profile to it

1730475410912.png

the profile input box i would be able to just click and then select from a dropdown, but since i don't have the character I want to add, i'm gonna hit the "+"

1730475437378.png

the account input box i would be able to just click and then select from a dropdown, but since i don't have the account I want to add, i'm gonna hit the "+"
1730475455761.png

you may also need to hit the "+" here to create an EQ install
1730475479098.png


If you need to create an EQ Install
1738508567624.png


you can click the "EQ Path" above and then "choose" and then navigate to where you have everquest installed.

mine is easy to find, it is on my F:/ drive in a folder called "everquest"

1738508588116.png

now i have that added as "live" i can click in the input bar and select the "live" from the dropdown

1738508606436.png


now i have created the account, i can add that account to a character (dropdown)
1730475522267.png

now i have a character, i can add that back to the profile we started at
1730475529042.png

1730475549841.png

Here's a video @grimmier made (until i get around to making one, and until RG has RG official one from @Redbot

 
I also noticed the same time I started having log in issues my key mapping stopped working to switch from one account to another. All setting seem to be set the same though.

I have the toons added and all set up in a profile. using the same log in path and path is set correctly as far as I can tell

Just went through each profile to make sure path was set correctly and it still is loading with EULA not the launcher
