Downloading test version of game with only live streaming client?

Wintersolstice · 10-24-2010, 09:30 PM

Have a new laptop, installed the game on it using the digital download since my DVDs with the CE version of SF were not happy. Cannot find how to download the test version of the game from the streaming client. In the black and blue Sony launcher, there was a switch games option, and on the original launcher, there was a Test Server button and you could select that and be on your way, but all I'm armed with is the live streaming client, and I don't see how to download Test again nor saw a link to it anywhere on forums or everquest2.com.

I opened the folder where the streaming client is located, but didn't see a Test folder anywhere among the files. How do I download test?

You can download the Station Launcher at http://launcher.station.sony.com/ and use it to patch in the game. That, unfortunately, won't get you the original EQ2.exe launchpad, but it'll get you the test server as well as the regular game. SOE really needs to either get the Station Launcher out of beta or make the original non-streaming launchpads available for their games.

And after about 15 minutes of downloading, you should be able to hit STOP and copy the paks and music folders from your live EQ2 game to the test EQ2 game. No need to suck down 9.5GB of data from Sony that you already have on your computer.
