[EQ2] Patcher Help

Gerf · 11-20-2007

Ive been trying for the last 4 days to get the damn patcher to work it keeps auto canceling me for some reason. I did everything they told me to do with my anti virus and It still goes for about 5 mins then auto cancels me.

Does anyone have any advice?

Blech, no idea here offhand...

On the patcher, select the option to patch files while running the game, then try running the everquest2.exe file directly from your EQ2 folder:

"everquest2.exe" in c:\program files\sony\everquest

Ninja Edit. I found it and it still did the same thing.

Clicked the download while playing.

Are you using Vista by chance? B/C I had major issues with the patcher. If you have Vista you can either disable UAC or run program as admin you click the eq2 icon. You also have to change the compatiability to XP SP2. EQ2 and Vista suck together and not in a good way. I kept getting to one file on the patcher and it would just sit there or keep downloading it over and over.

Im using XP home.

They CS rep for SoE said it was my isp timing out blah blah blah. But nothing has changed since I downloaded it last time...

If after it cancels the DL and I hit download again it picks up where it left off, so it looks like im gonna have to sitht here for 2+ hours reclicking DL.

Is your firewall install? Make sure you dont have any firewalls running. This could be the cause of it.

nah I had it off when I was trying to DL.

are you using a router or a switch?
