Streaming EQ2

[Wenjen]

<p>I am having problems logging into game.  I stream eq2 and after todays patch it is telling me I have almost 1300mb of information to dl just to get to the char select.  I have rebooted, reinstalled from my alts folder and same thing.</p>

<p>Are you using windows 7? if so, look at the thread a few posts under this <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Interesting, if somewhat puzzling.</p><p>You're getting this problem with the game already installed from the Steam Client.</p><p>You get the same problem installing it from scratch through the Steam SF Client.</p><p>Very interesting.</p>

<p>Am trying to login at the moment with the streaming player and it says around 1870 mb to download and the number fluctuates around that the whole time. I can log into the game although it goes very slowly. Can walk around and play just don't dare to zone atm hehe.</p><p>Edit: Game wasn't playable for me, warping mobs, heavy lag, invisible mobs guess that's because of the huge download happening in the background.</p><p>Edit 2: Restarted the client and it works now again.</p><p>Edit 3: Zoning takes forever (over 5 minutes now while loading Neriak</p>

<p>The problem seems to be with entity resources.</p>

<p>HAving same problem.</p><p>Streaming client starts d/ling when it is loading the character select screen. Which lags my loading a ton.  It will continue d/ling who knows what the whole time you are playing. Not sure whats going on, the numbhers hover around 2,900MB for me.</p>

<p>Apparently patching to the german client works just fine, SO PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP SOE!!!!</p><p>MAKE SYRE the GOD-Dmnd EU/US version of Everquest2.exe is present for the streaming client!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Ok, so patching to german client actually solved the problem, so switching back to english actually makes the game work. Thank you so much for all the info SOE.</p>
