After GU 61, Press Play, nothing happens....

[anthony1832]

<p>I am playing EQ2 Extended.  I downloaded GU 61, and now when I press Play it says Playing.... launcher goes away, and then I just wait.  Nothing happens.  No error messages or anything.  I've waited for about 10 minutes and still nothing. </p>

To do so, follow these steps:</p><p>- Right-click your shortcut for EverQuest II Extended</p><p>- Select Properties</p><p>- Navigate to the Compatibility Tab</p><p>- Check the box labeled "Run this program as an administrator"</p><p>- Click 'OK' and re-launch the game</p></p>
