<p>I only run in ADMIN, what is the patcher? I am using the built in patcher...I put in the EQ2 install DVD's installed it, then doubled click the icon on my desktop. I don't use any other updater than that.</p>

[Eskol]

<p>*Sorry for the double post</p><p>I got it to work, I right clicked station launcher, check compatibility problems, run program, didn't work then it asked if I wanted to run as administrator I said yes and of coarse accepted it, then it appeared to work....Not sure if it was launching the station launcher in admin or what. But regardless the EQ2 icon(which is linked to the launcher) wouldn't work.</p><p>BTW It did say there were no compatibility problems.</p>

<p>I found a fix, I have tested it on both comps and it works!</p><p>First go to C:ProgramDataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest IIlp_temp</p><p>Then drag the EverQuest2.exe_delta_9231_330.patched file to your desktop</p><p>While it is on your desktop go to C:ProgramDataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest IIEverQuest2.exe.</p><p>It will ask for your login, then will say this client's version doesn't match the server.(at this point I am guessing it realizes it needs the update)</p><p>Put the EverQuest2.exe_delta_9231_330.patched back in the C:ProgramDataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest IIlp_temp   folder</p><p>Re-launch EQ2 station launcher it should then work.</p>
