Fixed Error downloading the game.

    Yesterday I downloaded the game for first time. I did not finished the download because I had to go to sleep and I cant leave my computer on for some reasons. The thing is that today I opened the launcher to resume the download and this appeared:

    Unable to download SocketError:Unreachable - No data (11004 - 205.185.208.88 - http://eq.patch.daybreakgames.com/patch/sha/eq/eq.sha.zs/13/fb9/8ffc69ec59583a1f60b3a6e44dabeec2e65

    I've already searched for solutions on internet but nothing worked (I ended up having more problems because the launcher said that "suspicious activity" was detected so I had to give a phone number wich I don't own because I don't use cellphone).

    An important detail is that yesterday (the first time I launched the launcher) the download was working fine. Seems like the problem appeared after I re opened the launcher today.

    Is there any way to fix the error? I saw that some people fixed it by reinstalling the system from zero but that's the last thing I want to do.

    I've been experiencing this bug as well since yesterday, can't get on Test server to play. I can patch to Live just fine, its just giving this SocketError message when I try to patch to the Test server. Hopefully this is what they are currently investigating on Test.

    I am getting this on my laptop with beta patcher/launchpad.

    Live EQ works fine.

    I am having the same issue with the client on my computer so I deleted it and then came to the website to redownload and it seem when you click download the game nothing happens there as well.

    Even though dev is aware of this issue we still need to go to the first post and click "like" so they see how many it is affecting. It will not help to uninstall the game

    Has a dev responded to any threads about this?

    Might have something to do with the test server issues they are investigating.

    Found the official discord, apparently the CDN is having DNS problems for some users.

    Unrelated to the Test Server issues... so basically everything is great everywhere.

    I got the itch to play again and the download fail has me wondering if it is worth the annoyance?

    I just trouble shot to see if the patcher in general was causing this issue and it appears to be the case. If I bypass the patcher I can access EQ with no issues. Otherwise I get the SocketError when I try to patch to Live or Test. Hopefully this might be of assistance.
