    Getting Into Game When EverQuest Login Down

    EDIT: See my post lower down a bit for how to get in while SOE is fixing this.

    Running the new patcher gets the following:

    *Error: Package load failed or was cancelled (Network error during NPAPI download blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda


    The SOE forums are also down.

    So, yes, it isn't you. :)

    In addition, the Internet Traffic Report shows North America as not doing very well at all.

    North America
    Avg. Response Time: 269
    Avg. Packet Loss: 25 %
    Total Routers: 37
    Network up: 56 %

    So this could be a internet problem.


    Also California (Anaheim) is reporting as being completely down.

    I initially had a problem about 20-30 minutes ago. But now I got to the new launcher screen. So hopefully they got the problem fixed.
    Until we meet again. :>

    TO GET IN TO PLAY WHILE THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING:

    Go to your EverQuest folder.

    Find the file "eqgame.exe"

    Make a short cut to desktop for it.

    Right click the short cut and choose Properties.

    Change the Target to: C:\whatever is here leave alone \ whatever is here leave alone \eqgame.exe patchme

    In other words, leave the Target exactly how it was, just add patchme to the end.

    See http://www.necrotalk.com/showthread.php?t=10108 if you want pretty pictures.

    NOTE: If the Target is in quotation marks you need to add the patchme after them. For example:

    "C:\whatever is here leave alone \ whatever is here leave alone \eqgame.exe" patchme


    Remember to only use this for now. Don't use it after SOE fixes the problem. Because you need to have an up to date patched EQ to play after they patch.

    For even more details if you are not computer savvy, see: http://fanraeq.blogspot.com/2012/02/...-for-some.html

    I got Harli in although I had to use TeamViewer to show him to put patchme after the quotation marks.
