Patcher Woes

Let me express what many of you are feeling right now: Arrrrrrrrrgh! Let me in! Let me in! I want my Kitty! *breathe* OK. According to Sony, they are aware of the problems and are working on them, including bringing on more patching servers. Why they didn't think of this before, since this is almost identical to what happened at the original release is beyond me, but I'm sure they want you to play their game as much as you want to play it. Feel free to use this forum to try to help each other get into the game or to just console each other while you wait.

My wife read a little story in the threads of her guild (Oasis Covenant, Bristlebane) about a guy who lives close to Verant, and saw some techies hanging out in a local bar/restaurant. I would kindly ask this gentleman, shoud he see these men, sharply dressed in thier EQ Polo shirts, madly scowling at the world...KICK THIER ASSES, all of them, and repeatedly please. Continue the beatings after each consecutive patch that messes up EQ again(there will be many) I'm certain they will comply with thier livelyhoods demands, or quit, hopefully to be replaced by someone who knows what they are doing.

Why the hell is there very much to download!? You would think that they could have put everything needed to play on 3 CDs...

Patcher Help
# Dec 04 2001 at 10:55 PM Rating: Decent
Okay I forgot to mention something in my first post, heres how to make the patcher work if you are having the IO file error or lost internet connection message.

1) Cancel Download after you recieve either error message (dont close it, just cancel it)

2) Find the file that was downloading when the error message occured, you need to find it and delete it, in many cases there will be 2 files, one of them will be a winrar file, there might even be 3 of them, you need to delete every single one.

3) resume download until a mess up occurs again, then just do as step 2 told you and continue.

Take care
