<p>I just got finished with my 9.1k second download of EQ2 beta server. I clicked play and it gave me an error " EQ2 has stopped working".</p><p>After that was all overwith i double click eq2 launcher ( with windows 7 admin control on it ) .. it with load the black screen then it poofs and nothing happens.</p><p>What has gone wrong here?</p><p>Before i download of beta i did /beta in game and deleted previous copies etc.</p>

<p>I'm having the same problem.  I found an alertlog file in my BetaServer folder with the following.</p><p><p>build="SOEBuild=9271" version="SOEVersionString=2012/10/15 23:00:23" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="<None>" loc="  0.00   0.00   0.00" performance="3" alert="G:deveq2frameworkvdlVdlErr.cpp(85): (VDL Parser) runtimevdl/cbaseclasses.vdl(22) : Error, File not found, runtimevdl/soemote.vdl"</p></p>

<p>Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>I was having the same problem after updating beta.  I went into my EverQuest II installaion directory and then went into the folder LaunchPad.libs  Inside of that folder was LaunchPad.Cache.  I deleted the contents of that file and my launcher is working again.  It may help.</p>

<p>My launchpad won't start either after DLing Beta yesterday : /</p><p>I can bypass by clicking exe to get into Live ok. But, if I bypass with the Beta exe I can only load the the character select there. Every time I try to log the Beta characters back in, game crashes.</p><p>**Edit**</p><p><cite>Enric@Butcherblock wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>I went into my EverQuest II installaion directory and then went into the folder LaunchPad.libs Inside of that folder was LaunchPad.Cache.

But, went ahead and deleted the things just outside of the folder and it's working now.</p>

<p>whoops, wrong thread <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>I had the same problem, eq 2 live would work fine but after downloading beta and running it, it would immediately crash in game saying "eq2 has stopped working". So I tried locating the directory and running it directly but it said i was missing a specific dx.dll file.</p><p>So to wrap this up, I reinstalled direct x and now it is working, hope this helps!</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p> Joshua Rambo</p>
