I recently decided to re-subscribe to an EQ gold account after not playing for 9 years or so. I've downloaded the patcher already, however I'm getting an error when trying to download the game client: Unable to download Bad stream in http://eq.patch.station.sony.com/pa...2c2/d5de3e9873c6e4bd04d0dd4b86c1ee157ea?cb=JD The issue repeats, and I am unable to download the game. Please help!
Hey and welcome back, lots of cs support and such are focused on sony live this weekend but here are a few things to try. Are you using this install ? http://launch.soe.com/everquest/ Are you using Vista / 7 /8 ? if so don't let it use the default directory, you can windup with access problems that way. Make your own <root> \ sony \ everquest directory to prevent this problem if you are still having problems, post back with the problem and what version of windows you are using, that could spark someones memory for a fix.
I'm having the same problem. Just signed up for a gold account after being away for many years. Downloaded the installer from this link http://launch.soe.com/installer/EQ_setup.exe and I'm getting the "unable to download bad stream" error. I've tried letting it install to the default location, tried c:\everquest, tried c:\sony\everquest. Still no joy.

Fixed it with the help of support chat. I had to uninstall kaspersky anti-virus. Then the download went just fine.
Glad to hear your issue has been resolved! Please contact us again if you require any further assistance.
