<p>okie that helped and the downloads work and stuff.  I let it download this morning and it played automatcally when i came back and checked a bit later.</p><p>but now it wont go past that screen (above) and theres no 'Play' button. if i click the "test server" it just goes back to the patch/download screen all over again.</p>

<p>There is a ton of stuff that must be downloaded in addition to the stuff on the discs.  It takes me like 12 hours to download everything once I install what I do have (I don't have the KoS or EoF discs and have to digiatlly download them).</p><p>Just remember that once it's on your computer, you shouldn't have to redo it for a very long time.</p>

As it says Download cancelled, it would suggest you need to restart - it will only download missing files, so you will not be back to square one. Once the download is successfully finished, the large grey "UPDATING" button will go red and say PLAY.

Test server is literally the test server. It will copy the files from your initial EQ2 folder into a test server folder. So you definitely don't want to be doing that. Just start your download over here and there. In your picture it says download cancelled and then under updating is a download button. I usually restart the launcher myself but you can just click the download button.

<p>Underneath the "UPDATING" button, you can continue the downloading process by clicking the small "Download" button...the download is a long and tedious process, since your computer is recieving all the updates/changes since your Game Discs were published, so the download can be anywhere from 45 minutes to 10-12 hours.  If the dowload gets interrupted for some reason, click the small "Download" again and it will continue to download the remaining files...then the "UPDATING" button will become the "PLAY" button.</p>
