<p>With AOD I did a complete uninstall and reinstall via the full launcher download.</p><p>Now the little raptor is showing up and it keeps growing in size each time i log in.</p><p>Was 5G, then 8G, now 13G</p><p>What gives?</p>

<p>It is counting backwards, but the number grows each time i log in.</p><p>And i did the full download launcher, not the streaming.</p>

<p>If you are seeing the raptor, you are using the streaming client. You just would not see him with the full-asset client.</p><p>-= Therendil =-</p>

<p>How do you tell the steaming client from the full download client?  I lost my desktop icons last night (some windows 7 issue apparently) so I was trying to guess what each of the executables was.  I looked for the download raptor thingy while I was playing, but since I use prophit UI, I'm not positive I'll actually see him. </p><p>Is the launchpad for the two clients different? </p>

<p>Are they both called launchpad.exe?  I had 2 executables that brought up a launchpad.  I think the other one was eq2.exe.  Maybe eq2.exe is the original patcher and its just automatically calling launchpad. </p>
