Well, looks like they're finally killing off all older patchers and going for a uniform one for everybody to use tomorrow. Wonder if we'll still be able to skip the patcher to get in game faster.

i don't see them changing how everquest2.exe works so i think we'll be fine, but we'll see tomorrow.

also if i knew how, i would award you +rep for posting this in the right forum, even though it's the 3rd post on this subject.

much love,
primalz

No, it's not on the test server yet, and I'm not authorized for beta. When I try to launch my old eq2beta launcher it says updating launchpad files, then wants a username/password (which it promptly points out 'you don't have beta access' to)

everquest2.exe still works to launch the game, and as much as I want to bitch about the patcher, I like how they did the advanced tools, though they don't all work atm.

Ok.. new Launchpad is live. Haven't tested it myself, but other players are reporting that when 2-boxing, one of their characters is logged out every time they zone. Honestly, I'd probably leave EQ2 if I can't 2-box, or they make it a PITA to do.

Not that I know of.. but I didn't ask directly. Pretty sure its the Launcher - I did test that. Has anyone tested the new launcher with IS/ISX???

We already have confirmation that IS still works when launching with EverQuest2.exe, so this question is very much inappropriate. You should NOT be attempting to launch EverQuest 2, with innerspace, using the launcher.

The new launcher is just a new way to patch files. Everyone needs to calm down.

i run what I *think* is the "original" launchpad -- it was installed when i first installed EQ2 from my DoF discs.

this launchpad is apparently outside the scope of their "automatically updating" to the new launchpad, so i went to http://launch.soe.com/eq2/ and downloaded the "Full" version http://launch.soe.com/installer/EQ2_Full_setup.exe myself.

i made a rar archive of my (our) current "EverQuest2.exe" that ISXEQ2 requires.

i installed this new launchpad, pointing it at my current in-use EverQuest II directory to prevent it downloading a new copy of the game.

it spent a few minutes validating my files, then downloaded a new "EverQuest2.exe" (this was expected).

i closed this launchpad and unrar'd my saved "EverQuest2.exe".

i launched EverQuest II from my standard old shortcuts that load InnerSpace, then Everquest II, then ISXEQ2.

everything "just works" as normal.

* note that i did not test the streaming version.

thanks.

Hi guys. Are we just waiting for a patch from Amadeus? Just making sure it's not just me with the errors because based on the last post it sounds like some of you are working. Thanks in advance!

Patched and waiting here , as long as you download and use the correct patcher , all should be fine.

Huh?

ISXEQ2 won't work with the new version of the everquest2.exe. And the version of it that ISXEQ2 works with will no longer talk to the EQ2 servers, since everything changed with going F2P. AFAIK you aren't supposed to run EQ2 through the launchpad with ISXEQ2 anyway.

Kinda looks like we'll be waiting a little longer even than SoEs 36-hour 12-hour downtime.

I think he means he is waiting for the ISXEQ2 patch.
I think we all know that the "patcher" is a patcher and the InnerSpace icon on our desktops will still work just not with ISXEQ2 yet ... hence he is waiting. The InnerSpace desktop icons and ISXboxer icons all run "everquest2.exe". I think we all get that!

That's my take.

I just can't wait to take the first screen shot of a Mercenary named "Ogrebot" !!!

If only... right !
