Nothing but problems with launcher/loading screens since I subbed.

<p>Where can I get a client that doesn't stream? I just want to download the full game, I have nothing but issues with the patcher, takes about 15 minutes for me to even be able to log in and play. When I do log in and play, every other time I try to zone into another area, it locks up at 99% loading zone resources. I have to exit the game and reload everytime, which takes another 15 minutes.</p><p>Anyone know how I can just download the full game without streaming?</p>

<p>You can try to download and install this patcher to see if it fixes your issues.</p><p><a href="http://launcher.station.sony.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://launcher.station.sony.com/</a></p><p>Please let us know how it compares to your experience with the other launcher.</p>

<p>Is that one a normal patcher to download all at once? I really detest streaming, I thought that idea went out with the ark.</p>

<p>That's fine, I can go do something useful while it's downloading, and get it over and done with.</p>

<p>Any chance you guys can start giving out that launchpad again instead of the streaming client, that thing really isnt very good.</p>

I spent the evening fiddling around with the game and encountered similar issues to the poster in this thread <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=0&topic_id=469762�." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...2�.</a> I had to search the forums & KB to find a solution to this issue which was "use the Station Launcher instead". There was no reference to a full client download and/or the Station Launcher from the above menu/link. I was on the verge of cancelling my subscription but luckily I've finally managed to get the game up and running. So I would also highly recommend that this option be made easily accessible while stating that one type of download is a streaming one (that isn't recommended apparently) and the better option being downloading the full client using the Station Launcher and of course stating that it's a huge download therefore taking a much longer time to get into the game.</p>
