This is happening constantly for me. I have reinstalled the game and done everything I can think of: LaunchPad was unable to connect. Please check the network connection or try again later. If the problem persists, please visithttps://help.daybreakgames.com for assistance. (4-503) My connection is fine.. but this happens constantly. Help plz!
I would suggest you just google that error, there is a ton of info on it. To cut thru the thick of it all that error appears to be socket related and resetting the users internet connection or the actual settings appears to resolve it. Perhaps your internet connection is not as fine as EQ needs it to be. One example: https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/428y73/to_anyone_getting_the_4503_launchpad_error/
Glad to hear your back in! Maybe this will help others with that error. Just reset the internet connection.
Same thing for me, won't launch but when I go to the site to re download, the download page won't load up - nothing works tried all the suggestions, and also when I try to add patchme after eqgame.exe on a shortcut on desktop - (both with " after exe and without and just a space between exe and patchme ) it says the path is invalid - but when I hit open folder it goes straight to it. It is definitely Launchpad, as I can get in via [Unmentioned 3rd Party Software], but once I need to patch I'm gonna be screwed. And no way to re-install eq as it won't connect to that page
