New Everquest patcher.

Post by meggen » Tue Sep 14, 2010 9:44 pm

Hi,
There is a new everquest patcher available which is being linked to as a possible fix for some of the patching problems experienced recently.

It can be found here, http://launch.soe.com/everquest/ there are three versions, one for Live servers, one for the test server and one for the beta server.

Is it possible for WinEQ2 to use this new patcher ?

Thanks

I'll look at it, but you can just disable patching in your WinEQ 2 Profile, and on patch days separately run the patcher.

I know about disabling the patcher, I have that on my regular profiles.
I also have 'patch' profiles for Live, Test and Beta which, obviously, no longer work.

Thanks for looking at this.

If you get it working with the new patcher the same will eventually need to be done with InnerSpace.

The new SOE launchers have been in use with IS for a while, but you're right I will probably need to update its auto-detection file at some point.

Any update concerning this? The new patcher will be required after tomorrow's patch.

People have been saying this for 2 years now. If you have a link that explains that launching eqgame.exe with the patchme parameter will no longer work, link that.

Otherwise, worst case scenario you can just turn off WinEQ 2's patch option and patch outside of WinEQ 2 on patch days.

As a Pro user, you also have access to our newer software, ISBoxer, which supports the different launchers.

Sounds the same as when they switched to Station Launcher. It says the older patcher won't work. Just turn off the Patch option in your WinEQ 2 profile
