<p>I got EQ2 about 4 days ago - when I click on the launcher is goes into updating for about 2 hours and then then I click the red PLAY button and I get this error:</p><p>"The options definition file failed to load. This generally incicates that your patch was corrupted for some reason. Try a complete scan, and if that doesn't help then you may need to reinstall."</p><p>When I click on the launcher again it updates again for about 2 hours (it seems to be downloading the same files repeatedly) and then I click the red PLAY button and I get the same error mssg.</p><p>I have deleted all EQ2 files, deleted cookies and history, the restarted my computer and reinstalled EQ2. I have defragged and scanned disc. I have turned off all virus scanners and firewalls. I have screwed around with my modem as much as I can using portforwording and opening tons of ports (not sure I did it right tho because I'm a noob). I started the game in clean boot. I've done everything that has been written in these forums and on tech support pages (to the best of my abilities). Updated drivers... trying to think what else I've tried...</p><p>I emailed Sony Tech Help the Dxdiag, Msinfo, crashlog, EQ2info... I'm not sure if they got it, they responded with stuff I've already done, mostly "delete .ini and .exe and retry".</p><p> Any help would be appreciated... sry about my handle... I'll change it if I don't give up on this. I have WoW and LOTRonline running perfectly (tho I did need a little help with WoW a couple years ago but it's smooth running now).</p><p>I have a crap sound card... spose that could be it?</p><p> I want to play EQ2!! WoW gets a bit stale sometimes and LOTR just kind of... well... it's a lil bit on the dry side tho I haven't gotten that far.</p>
