Launcher causes the game to throw graphical artifacts

[Valhakar]

<p>Its very simple.  Launcher causes the game client to act differently.</p><p>If I run the launcher and log in normally, the game runs.  However I get artifacts with layered lighting.  It appears to be related to targeting rings.  The artifacts never happen when I do not have targeting ring enabled.  I RMA'ed my graphics card thinking it was a card issue. It happend with the replacement.  It also happened with another card.</p><p>If I run Everquest2.exe and log in there, the issue goes away.</p><p>I have done a completely new full install, with no change to the behavior of the client.  Clean install of new drivers.  Tested with 2 different EVGA  GTX680 SC Series 2.  Also seen the issue with my ATI Radeon HD7950.</p>
