<p>i am normally a EU server player, but i have some toons on US servers also. On these US servers my UI mod isnt installed yet and there i can log in.</p><p>On EU server i use Drums ui and launcher will not recognize nor implement the patch and i get the message : invalid login, ....</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>I do not believe the EU servers have returned yet.  I'll double check.</p>

[Questall]

<p>so downloading another launcher (third launcher then, besides cd launcher, station launcher and now latest launcher) is moot then?</p>

[Cratoh]

<p>I am getting the same message on Splitpaw EU server. I've done the patch, but now I've also got the Log in rejected as it doesn't match the client.</p><p>I've no idea how to run as an administrator either.</p>

[Dimmulola]

<p>All eu's are unable to login. Its nice to see SOE staff has an ability to see if a server is up though! Hey a thought, it would be great for us players to see if a server is up also - just a thought...</p><p>The great network page, which says the Splitpaw is up as always, has been useless since the launch of this game.</p>

[PhabiusBile]

<p>EU download is not the same as the US download i downloaded fromt he US then EU and got around 1.7 GB difference</p>

[Daggster]

<p>So the update-site is probably offering old files for eu download.</p>

[Melrakki]

<p>Status Update ?</p><p>Hoping to raid tonight so any info on if/when/ EU gets fixed would be nice <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Daggster]

<p>Hmmm, let's see, it'll take about another hour before they admit something is wrong, then about an hour before they get the hang of what's wrong, and then maybe 5-20 minutes to actually fix it. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Whailor]

<p>So, any news on EU servers? Network status page is useless as always on EQ2 page, shows what it dreams of and not what the reality is (and that's just one part which is totally messed up there, sheesh, did they fire everyone who takes care of the web page and just left someone to enter the news...). Getting this "client is wrong version" message as well and then kicked out. Game has been patched and all.</p>

[Melrakki]

<p>Switching to US and then back to Euro does not fix anything .. it simply patches to US and then repatches for Euro   so save some time and skip that one <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[egyptiangothic]

[PhabiusBile]

<p>Posted a seperate link about the EU servers dev response is </p><p><span style="color: #cae0e6; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #07161e;">The EU servers are still being updated and have not been brought back online yet.  I will do my best to announce it here when it is up.</span></p>

[Mangano]

<p>For people who like to go to select char screen to see when the <strong>Splitpaw</strong> server is coming back up: Start the patcher, change region from EU to <strong>US</strong> at the top right. Once patched, close the launch pad. Edit your <strong>eq2_default.ini</strong> by replacing and/or adding similar (cl_lp_... is not in everybodies file) cl_ls_address ableq2-04-01.everquest2.com amseq2-03-01.everquest2.com cl_player_cache_dir logincache-eu cl_lp_region_suffix -eu Run <strong>EverQuest2.exe</strong> directly. Login without entering a character name to get to character select. <em>*Ofcourse this will work for any server, but before swapping to another region please check your cl_* values in your eq2_default.ini file.</em></p>

[Twofeets]

<p>Thank you, and sorry for the multiple threads, I know you guys stay busy and didnt know if a player would have an answer.  Been dealing with this for a few weeks, tried old launcher, new launcher, deleting specific files, and eventually a full fresh install.   Nothing has worked yet on either machine.</p><p>Ticket number is : <strong>#110909-000341</strong></p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>Sent you some questions in the ticket.</p>

[Twofeets]

<p>Responded.  Not sure which target field you wanted, but its set to launchpad as administrator if thats what youre asking.</p>

[Twofeets]

<p>Still the same error on both our machines, client and server dont match.  A buddy of ours tried the same thing on his machine in, same result.</p>
