It's 6:55 AM, my wife is hogging the entire bed, my one-year-old son is refusing to go to sleep, and to top it all off, I've been trying since 7 PM yesterday to play Everquest 2. I'm having a really, really bad night. What happens is this: whenever I start the latest update, the patcher scans my system and starts the patch from the beginning. It does this every time I start it again, regardless of the fact that it's re-downloading files already current and present in the PAKS folder it is downloading to. Worse, whenever it reaches a certain file (such as Char_ACC1.vpk), it fails to download and instead cancels itself. As I click, again and again, the white "download" button to force it to pick back up, it keeps going through the same cycle, sometimes picking a different file, but inevitably getting nowhere and failing to finish the patch. Worst of all, whenever I attempt to fix the problem by restarting the patcher, it merrily infuriates me by restarting the entire hour-long patch again. I'm losing my mind. Of course, someone will want my system specs, so here they are: Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 3 (2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.080814-1236) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), ~2.0GHz Memory: 2048MB RAM Page File: 598MB used, 3341MB available Windows Dir: C:WINDOWS DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.5512 32bit Unicode Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 6600 Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 6600 Display Memory: 256.0 MB Driver Version: 6.14.0011.8206 (English) Description: Realtek AC97 Audio Driver Version: 5.10.0000.6300 (English) Someone. Anyone. Help. EDIT: Yes, before anyone asks, there are no firewalls active on my system. I've also deactivated my antivirus (actually, I deleted the [Removed for Content] thing after it interfered with installed EQ2 for the nth time). I've never had problems patching before, anyway.
