<p>Read the FAQ and I'm still confused.  How do you get the test server started when I don't have a testserver folder?  I don't have the .exe file to get that started and no where does it tell me how to get it.  Any help?</p>

<p>Here  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   This is when I asked that question.  It's only on streaming client now.   It doesn't take that long to uninstall and reinstall using that client  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p><p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=503413">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=503413</a></p>

<p>I found that when using Streaming some things just would not render properly in the game.</p><p>So, I made a copy of my EverquestII file, renamed it TestServer and placed it inside my EverquestII folder.  Then logged into the Test server with the streaming client and could see everything.. No long zone times doing it this way either.</p>

<p>Thats been an issue with the streaming client for a long time now.  For some reason it just doesnt stream all the right files, so you end up with missing graphics. </p>

<p>so ok, I've downloaded the streaming POS client and I still don't have a testserver folder, what now?</p>

<p>no wonder people don't test, you can't get any help on getting there and actually getting there is a test of patience.   Any help here?</p>

<p>ok so what am I missing?</p><p><a href="http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t198/mherman84/?action=view&current=launcher.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t198/mherman84/launcher.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>

<p>ok   left hand box top left  click on options and go down past the other servers.  test is at the bottom</p><p> The regions tab  then click then scroll down to test</p><p>sorry for edits I've only been up an hour lol</p>

<p>Thanks clara, found that portion.  However when I change the settings to test server and save the changes I am not able to load the game.  I do not have a red colored icon labeled testeq2.exe in that folder, although it is there now, and all the FAQ portion of the how to log into test do not work.  Got any other suggestions?</p>
