Auto-Patcher keeps canceling Download on its own.

[Kenshin78]

<p>I just decided to re-open my EQ2 account today.  Bought a game card, punched it in.</p><p>Logged in and tried to start the patch process.  No dought I got some downloading to do.  It's been 6 months since I played.</p><p> However, the patcher will download for a time somewhere between 30 seconds and 10 minutes...  Then it will stop and say "Download Canceled"  (As if I clicked the cancel button.)</p><p>Not sure what is going on.  I do have wireless internet, that drops from time to time...  But that is like once every other day.  and it re-connects to the wireless signal in seconds.</p><p> Any ideas?  Anybody having this problem right now?  (Is it server side?  Or Client?)</p><p> - Witt</p>

I have that problem a lot too, and I am also on wireless internet.  Fortunately, you can restart it and it picks up where it left off.  Its just a pain in the read when you wanna let it download while you are in the other room doing other things.  -h

<p>Funny but I am having the same problem.  Just bought a new comp and installed the EOF all in one pack.  Get through the analyzing file part and begins download only to immediately cancel.  Not usre what I am doing wrong, hehe.  Any suggestions greatly appreciated.</p><p> Cheers,</p>

If you're using Vista try disabling UAC that will stop the patcher doing its job.

For the record, My comp is XP, and its the machine I've been playing EQ2 on since day 1, so its picked up all the patches in order.  -h

Don't know about the UAC, but I had the same issue and was about to try installing XP on the new computer that I got. Ended up right clicking on the EQ2 file on my desktop and running it as a administrator. After that it was able to complete the update and then I could just double left click and get the game working.
