Station Launcher refuses to update

[Llenwyn]

<p>When trying to update EQ2 (from English (EU) region), Station Launcher states:</p><p>An unknown error has occured while updating.</p><p>Station Launcher will try again after 5 seconds.</p><p>And this goes on for several hours now.</p><p>The StationLauncher.dll.log file states the following:</p><p>2011-02-22 21:22:45 [5848] INFO  lp2::updater:<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />atchMonitor - LOADING_REMOTE_MANIFEST 2011-02-22 21:22:45 [5848] INFO  lp2::updater:<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />itcherProcessor<class - Process fileset at <a href="http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/patch/lp2/eq2/europe/patch0/en_GB-main/eq2_en_GB-main_manifest.xml.gz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/p...manifest.xml.gz</a> 2011-02-22 21:22:45 [5848] ERROR multi_curl - Http response 404 for <a href="http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/patch/lp2/eq2/europe/patch0/en_GB-main/eq2_en_GB-main_manifest.xml.gz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/p...manifest.xml.gz</a> 2011-02-22 21:22:45 [5848] ERROR CurlSource - Error(s) downloading <a href="http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/patch/lp2/eq2/europe/patch0/en_GB-main/eq2_en_GB-main_manifest.xml.gz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/p...manifest.xml.gz</a> 2011-02-22 21:22:45 [5848] ERROR lp2::updater:<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />itcherProcessor<class - Parse error in fileset: <a href="http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/patch/lp2/eq2/europe/patch0/en_GB-main/eq2_en_GB-main_manifest.xml.gz:" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://eq2.patch.station.sony.com/p...anifest.xml.gz:</a> :1:1 error: Invalid document structure 2011-02-22 21:22:45 [5848] INFO  lp2::updater:<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />atchMonitor - Updater exit status: 1</p><p>Hope you guys can get this sorted!</p>

<p>You can download the EQ2 LaunchPad, instead of Station Launcher, with the link below.  We have been in the process of phasing out Station Launcher for quite some time.</p><p><a href="http://launch.soe.com/eq2" target="_blank">[EQII] LaunchPad</a></p>

<p>lol and I just switched to station launcher after years of not knowing about it. Too funny. </p>

[Llenwyn]

<p>New launcher did the trick, logged in now. Tnx for the help.</p><p>However, phasing out a launcher by not supporting it on launch day is not really the way to go.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>I am not sure what gave you the impression we are not supporting it.  We are trying to fix the issues.  EQ2 LaunchPad, while still our recommended method of connecting to our game, is a workaround for your issue today, nothing more.  Continue to use it or move back to Station Launcher once it is fixed.</p>

[Llenwyn]

<p>Apologies for the snarkiness, must have been the frustration of finding out that everybody else was already playing while I was thinking the problem was with the server.</p><p>Again, thanks for your quick response. At least I got my fix before heading for bed <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Station launcher was installed right before the last expansion, replacing the eq2 launcher......
