<p>I needed to do a re-install of EQ2. First off tried downloading the streaming client. It didn't work. It opened a nice box with the SOE logo in it which disappeared after a minute. No problem. I'll just download the station launcher from the SOE main gaming site. Same deal as the streaming client. Tried this several times with both - trying to install launcher, repeatedly getting opening SOE logo that made a brief appearance then nothing, etc. Even tried the EQ2 Extended one for curiousity - thankfully it didn't work.</p><p>Before cancelling my account in complete frustration, I went to the SWG main site and downloaded the station launcher from there. It worked. Launcher installed and downloaded and it's now actually downloading the gaming files. So what's the difference between the launchers? That station launcher is able to connect to the servers and update, but the one from here isn't? Why is there a difference?</p>
