<p>Okay. ive tried running as admin and nothing happens. i MEAN NOTHING. my computer sits there staring at me after i make it to character select. The weirdest thing is, that its still running in my processes tab, but not my application tab.  and this didnt start happening until after that patch. Something screwed up, ive tried running virus scans, full file scans, restarting, reinstalling, the works. Maybe its time to look inside the patch? because ive done everything you suggested and what others have suggested, and i cant get into the game, ive freed up memory as well in hops that would work and got nada, ive been at this for going on six hours now. Also...my computer runs on Microsoft Windows XP professional Service pack 3, and though i sound highly frazzled, i really just want my game to work.</p>

<p>Same exact thing happened to me on one of 3 Win7 64 PCs I play on.  I ended up being able to logon by going to Everquest2.exe and setting it to WinXP SP3 compatibility and running THAT file directly (bypass the patcher).  Hope this helps you.</p>

<p>I just updated the problem, and i tried going directly through the exe file as admin..nothing</p>

<p>I cannot get mine to work either.</p><p>Open station launcher, select Everquest 2, wait for it to patch and it gives me the "Play" button, I click, the launcher window disappears..... and nada, nothing happens. It's still listed as a process, but I sat for 10 minutes and it never did anything.  I've gone through to make sure everything that needs to is run as administrator, even did everything everyone else suggested and nothing, reinstalled launcher, nothing.</p><p>I'm running windows vista ultimate 64 bit with 1 TB of data available on my hard drives and 8 gb of ram.</p><p>It was working fine prior to todays patch, except the launcher character selection box has been gone ever since AB went down earlier this week. Nothing I could think of would get that box back so I could select a character even if I had logged in and out previously just fine.</p><p>Please help. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Ok, here are mine and my husbands observations of what is happening as my game tries to launch.</p><p>After I click the "Play/Launch Game" button the launcher window disappears and the EQ2game process starts up, but never fully launches. Going through my Norton connection logs, we have discovered that my computer is trying to send a http request to a certain IP from my everquest patcher, it sends about 17 requests per second until the process is forced to stop through task manager.  Although the IP it tries to get the http request from changes, it's still the same website. llnw.net</p><p>Here are some lines from my connections log:</p><p><img src="http://trish-art.com/eq2/temp/connections.gif" /></p><p>So this is what it's doing instead of connecting to a SOE website and launching my game from what we can tell. (sorry but I blured out my IP address and computer name)</p><p>Weird. =(</p><p>We checked our DNS servers to make sure they were current and correct and still doing the same thing. Each new connection is a different IP, but still ends up belonging to the same website. It continues to spam them with requests until the process is stoped. We also made sure the firewall wasnt blocking anything and that everything that is supposed to is run as an admin.</p><p>Any help or guidance on this is very much appreciated.</p>
