Station Launcher Beta and launchpad not updating EQ2

lordreyiss · 06-28-2008, 08:09 PM

I just came back to EQ2 used my copy of EQ2 that Included KoS.I went into the launchpad logged in and let it start downloading I had like 16 hours of downloads at first and it went throught them as expected in about 8 hours as the launchpad always shows a high time when it starts and then speeds up. However when it go to the cha_sa.vpk (something like that) the download froze. Time went up to like 26 hours from the 5 minutes it had left. Well I went out of town for 3 days expecting the download to have completed by the time I got back home and well it still said 26 hours. I then downloaded the Station Launcher Beta. I began the update process through that it said 16 hours.. I went to work when I got home 14 hours later it still said 16 hours. I have paid for my account for a week now and the stupid crap is catching on the same file. I even tried to find the file in my system to delete it and cause a new download yet i cannot find it. I tried to re-install it. and then I even took one of my old systems with a fresh install of Windows XP MCE 05 and fresh install of EQ2 and it did the same BS. Any help would be much appreciated what can I do to force the launchpad or SLB to get beyond that file.The launchpad shows the file its getting stuck on is....Download: Char_sa.vpk...I will look for the file and if i cannot find it to delete it. I will try to just download the whole game through launchpad......... If that dont work before I get some help I will try to download the game through the SL beta.Thanks in advance for advice that might get me where I am not wasting my money on my station account. As EQ2 is the game I wanted to play but I tend to get stuck playing SWG, MXO or PotBS to pass my time while my EQ2 is yet still unplayable.

Ok I went into the launchpad one more time. I manually cancelled the download and then checked my preferences... It seems every single checkbox was set to download immediately I still have no idea how that would make it freaze my update but when I unchecked and allowed it to go through it finished and showed me the play button now I am setting it download each additional content one by one so that I can troubleshoot which additional content pack is causing this problem just incase someone else runs into it later.The info will be here as to whats causing it. And maybe even the devs might find some error on the update server pertaining to that bit of content. It might only be for people who have not been around to keep there client updated since the Kingdom of the Sky EXP came out. Like me....... who knows it might just be on my end.
