Tips

  • From the MQ tray icon right click menu, you can enable or disable characters in a profile group using ctrl + left click.
  • Set hotkeys on profiles by right clicking a character in a profile group and editing their profile.

Troubleshooting

  • If you have an MQ2AutoLogin.ini but are seeing no characters/profiles, try going to Settings and clicking Load Legacy Config.
  • If you are getting popups stating no eqgame.exe can be found, go to Settings and click Manage EQ Installs and make sure the emu install has a valid path to your EQ folder.
  • If you try to launch EQ through autologin and nothing happens, this may also mean your EQ install path is set incorrectly. Follow same steps as above.
  • If you've been using autologin for 30 days and are suddenly being asked to enter your master password again, then you probably didn't click Never ask again when first setting up MQ on the master password prompt. Go to Settings and click Retrieve master password. retrievemasterpw
  • If you're wondering where MQ2AutoLogin.ini went, it has been replaced with an sqlite3 database which you can find in your config folder called login.db. It shouldn't be necessary to look at this, but if you wanted to, then you can use something like DB Browser for SQLite.
