View Full Version : Still having patching issues...

I just installed EQ2 again after having quit a while back. I got to lvl 22 but then decided to quit.. now I wanted to come back and give it a second chance, but for some reason I can't get the game to patch. I've tried turning off my firewall, messing with its settings, restarting my computer, refreshing my internet connection, and I've read different methods to fix this problem on station.com but none of them either apply to my situation or have been of any help. It seems like the patcher keeps freezing/getting stuck in different places.. I haven't made any overall progress with the download. It seems to be running ok sometimes for a small amount of time, but then it gets stuck and the estimated remaining time keeps repeating itself (the seconds counter will go from 13seconds to 12-11-10-9 then will start over at 13 again and do that same cycle over and over) and the estimated remaining time is also ridiculously long, being 536 hours at the moment. I'm running out of ideas.. I don't know what else I can possibly do to fix this. EQ2 ran on my computer before so I don't see why I'm having such a major problem now. My computer is a windows xp home edition. If anyone has any ideas of what else I can try to make this work I'd really appreciate it.

Uninstall and reinstall from the disks?

Is the LaunchPad in the list of exceptions in the Windows Firewall?

Yes I specifically told my firewall to allow the launcher access.

Only other thing I would check windows firewall wise is to make sure 'Don't allow exceptions' is unchecked on the general tab. Even though you have exceptions with that checkbox checked, the exception list is ignored. Might also help to do this <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=353617" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=353617</a> more info can never hurt.
