Seems to have worked for me

Tried this fix for myself as well, and did not work, still when I click on my launcher, It logs me in, thinks, shows my play button and if I let it sit it crashes on its own, or if I hit play, it closes and nothing happens.

I have the same problem, if I try to start EQ2 using everquest2.exe... but it always works for me, if I use the launcher. You have the problem though using the launcher?

Aye, it does exactly as the person above this post stated - I get as far as the Start button turning green, but only just, and then the window dissapears without any error message. I only found the error message when I used the executable directly. I am currently downloading the station launcher program as I was using the streaming client before. Sadly, even with the speed I have here, that will take a while to download...

Mh... you can rename some other folders, so they will be downloaded again by the launcher - maybe there is another file broken? SMILEY

Well i seem to be getting a bit of a different error message... There was a problem moving C:ProgramDataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest IIlp_tempEverQuest2.exe_delta_9410_339.patched to C:ProgramDataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest IIEverQuest2.exe. Please make sure the game is not running. Any advice on this?

There were a few ideas thrown around here: http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=482690

That some of you may find helpful, this and the other fix listed earlier all come down to the same thing -- re-downloading the game, either by removing assectcache files and letting the EQ2 launchpad check and re-download or by switching to a different launcher entirely.

Now to those of us that have tried removing assectcache files with no luck, the launchpad is still crashing, I recommend either switching to the Station Launcher (http://launcher.station.sony.com/) which is what I'm trying, or following the above post and use the legacy EQ2 Launcher.

@Zeekinator, if you tried launching EQ2.exe and then minimized the error window or it got put behind an explorer window, etc. And then tried to run the launchpad, that would explain that error. Try opening process manager(Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to verify that EQ2.exe is not running, sometimes the process won't quit/kill when the application crashes. Alternatively, try a restart and see if the issue persists with the same error message.

Maybe rename everquest2.exe before starting the launcher? Probably there is write protection active on everquest2.exe? (right click --> properties)

Nice. I leave the game for a year and a half, and SOE is still suffering from the same old crap. How long does it take to get a working update procedure?

Zeekinator · 07-14-2010, 02:55 PM

I've did the restart thing and all that, that is the message i get using the station launcher. After the message pops up it just starts to rescan and repeat the process over and over

My launchpad.exe closed itself when it begin checking for the cache.
After renaming the newest file at /assetcache the launcher started with no more problems. But you will loose some streamed data (between 0-2gb). If it works, you can delete the renamed file.
Maybe this helps someone.

Worked for me thanks much

I'm going to close this thread and point everyone to the Launcher Issue? thread, since the dev team is respoding over there.

A fix has been pushed out, but please post there if you are still having problems.
