Game freezing at 80% caching appearances

[Frick]

<p>After not playing the game for maybe a week or to (been busy as of late), I came back today and found that the game will not load up anymore. I get to 80% on loading caching appearances then it just freezes there.</p><p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>This happens to me too on occasion.  I delete the cache and run a scan then it usually gets me in without further trouble.</p><p>To delete all of the cache involved,</p><p><p>You may want to make backups and then delete the following files and folders:</p><p>cache folder</p><p>eq2_recent.ini</p><p>eq2_default.ini</p><p>EverQuest2.exe</p><p>eq2.ini</p><p>As well as the character specific files, these will appear as such:</p><p>Servername_CharacterName_EQ2_uisettings.ini</p><p>Stationname_characters.ini</p><p>To do this, please follow these directions:</p><p>1. First look for your EverQuest II directory. You can find the default directory in (for Windows XP): C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II (for Windows Vista/7): C:Program DataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest II</p><p>2. Click on MY COMPUTER and then proceed into local disk C:</p><p>3. Navigate your way to the default directory, or your chosen installation directory.</p><p>4. Next look for any files explained above and delete them. </p><p>5. Afterwards, please start EverQuest II to have these files re-downloaded by the patcher.</p><p>If deleting these files does not resolve your issue, you can restore your backed up files and folders and retain your hotkeys, contact lists, and display settings.</p></p>

<p>It's possible you're having the same issue I am, and the game hasn't actually locked up/crashed, but is downloading instead.  Have you let it sit at 80% for a while, to see if it comes good?</p><p>My thread is <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=499695" target="_blank">here</a>, if you want more info.  Maybe if someone else is experiencing this, we can actually get it addressed.</p><p>I can dream...</p>
