Patcher WoesDec 4th, 2001 at 6:11 PM by Allakhazam

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.

Oddities...

Once I get past the little Windows patch progam (wth IS that, anyway?) and get to the real Patcher, I download a few files and then get ground to a halt.

Hit cancel. Hit download. Hit cancel. Hit download. Shut down. Double-click on EverQuest icon. Windows patch program. Nothing. Cancel progam. Delete from task process (win2000). Double-click on EverQuest icon. Windows patch program. Patch program. Download more files. Grind to a halt...

That's how I've spent the last three hours. Seems I have most files, but keep getting stuck on global5_chr.s3d...

btw - Go to everquest.com if you're having problems connecting with the patch server... That got me a bit further in this adventure...

Let me help you

Why couldn't the people at SOE put up a few mirror sites so that their main network was not bombarded with people trying to patch all at once?

Am I the only person who doesn't have his head stuck up his *** and think this is a reasonable idea? Why didn't it occur to someone that 300k people patching all at once might create some problems?

I can deal with the twelve hour delay from when they promised to go live. I can deal with messed up shipping schedules and all that. I can even deal with the BUGGY new patch program that apparently has memory leaks, can't remove itself properly from the environment, and hogs almost all the cpu cycles, but surely someone must have seen this coming... there is no excuse!!!!

Normal?

Verant had the chance to hit a homerun with the release of SoL.

Instead they were hit by a pitch and tripped on the way to first.

Now my computer runs sooo slow I cannot type this post.

I spent $300 for this?!!

Now That I have you attention , This is what I think . I think everbody should just stop downloading because their probably just going to update more file as we are speaking so its probably just a waste of time for now and also if we all stop downloading then it might make things go faster because if everbody is downloading all at once it will probably slow down the servers they are trying to fix.

Thanks its just a thought good luck
