Puts a humorous light on out troubles

ok i saw the message that everyone saw when they tried to downoad the patch when it says resat computer and try again well wheni did that it off course said it again. Heres teh thing when i downloaded SoL it used all three Cd's but when i unistalled the entire game(cause i thought it was my comp messed up) it only uses 2 Cd's 1st and 3rd is that what is suppost to happen.

I hate to give Sony any advertising right now with how royally they just ***** all their customers...

But...

If you just must throw yourself into another addictive game while you wait, try Yuetan at http://puzzle.station.sony.com/

That or sleep....

*Walking to EC one day then...*

Verant hits you for 100,000 points of damage!
You are bleeding to death!
YOU have been slain by Verant and Sony!

*VERANT LOOTS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE*

LOADING PLEASE WAIT....


Verant tells you " You idiot"

guys this is almost funny. i stand here watching million of playing doing all they can think of on their computer to try to fix all those problems. you got to understand that there is no way that you can enter EQ right now. here are the 3 only situation that you can face:

1-you tryed to uninstall and re-install everquest, or you are still at the retail version

> when you try to log you go to the old patcher. it look for new files for a few seconds, then bring you a message that explain that you are not conected to the internet or that you have a I/O problem. Once in a while, it will partially work. It will find a server, and start to download the first patch. But while you are jumping of joy watching the blue bar go up, it will sudently stop at the middle of the arena file. (about 3% of the total patch). It will either stay frozen there, or will give you the usuall "not logged" message. Usually the next thing to do is to tear out your hairs while shouting obsenities and/or to trow your monitor trought the window. But dont worry, its the same for everyone. So no need to call your internet provider to complain like so much players did.

: you can fix this by either waiting untill the server are fixed and that you can download normally the patchs, or you can ask a friend to send you his full EQ instalation. But in the end it wont help. You will still be unable to download the Luclin patch corectly.


2- You are among the rare person that managed to download the full Luclin patch corectely. but when you try to log, you get a "no 3d device found".

>This simply mean that you have directX 8.0 installed. You need 8.1 to run Luclin. So download and install 8.1. But once you are done, you wont be able to download the patch corectly. So its kinda useless. But since you will need 8.1 anyway, go download it right away.

3- You manage to start the Luclin patch, but atthe middle of it, the scren freeze or send you back to window or give you the "not conected" message

>congratulation, you are perfectly okay. The problem is with the Eq servers. wait untill they are fixed to download the ******* file corectly.


note: the new everquest.exe file that verant told you to download is useless and wont fix any of those problems. The only thing that it could fix is if you were ALDREDY having problems with the patcher. if everything was working perfectly fine untill today, thisfile wont help you much. But it cant hurt, so take it anyway.

PLEASE PEOPLE. this is not a rant board. this was set up to help others with problems. If you want to rant, go to VI's boards and do it there. Let's save this boards to help each other.

Now, back to the subject line. I posted how to fix the problem earlier but with all you whine assed, it got bumped way down. If you are getting the error "No 3D device found" scroll down to my origanal post to fix your problem.

Yes, Verant f&*cked up worse than Rok (which I can't believe the U.S. Attorny didn't charge them with fraud with the shipping/credit card billing issue). Their *** is gonna be in hot water for this one fer sure.

I feel like driving to California. Driving to California and kicking alot of ***!

should i download direct X........or do u think it will give me the option to download it when it is don patching??

AM I the only one not able to get in this %#*&^% ing game or are they still working on it. It just shows that little rectangle patching screen for over 20 minutes I thought they where suppose to be done with it 13 hours ago. As Scotty would say "THE more complicated ye make the plumbing the easier it is to Back-UP thee sink!!" Yours Truely Vimnix Firona Vie weeee bouncy! bouncy!
