None of these solutions are working for me. 2 of the 3 computers I have are showing this exact same file corruption. WHERE are the Devs & WHY has this not been immediately fixed?!? Can someone with DBG comment here and fill us in on the fix??
Don't use the 1st link (from page 1, Dr Whom), use the 2nd one (from page 2, PokeyAKC). The 1st one didn't work for me. Tried the file from PokeyAKC's link and it worked on 3 computers for me. Daybreak should update this as a few guildys can't log on so I posted in the discord to help them.
Yes, ignore mine. That was us trying to troubleshoot what the heck was doing on. Just be forewarned that mp3 from PokeyAKC _may_ not work for you. Some folks don't have any luck with it. For folks who don't, and know they're patched for everything BUT that file, you can pass patchme. This will even work for running EQ_Setup.exe (I kept hitting retry until the mp3 was the only thing left). Either way, as Vastrader pointed out, we shouldn't have to do this level of workaround for such a massive issue and new players just downloading EQ_Setup.exe for the first time only to find out its broken aren't helped at all by this level of troubleshooting.
Would be nice if someone from the Daybreak staff would respond to this issue. To let the customers know if they are aware of this problem and are working on it this weekend.
I am having the same issue, tried on two different machines. Haven't played in a while and was thinking about coming back to the TLPs. Maybe this is a sign....
Just did for my laptop...PokeyAKC, you are the EQ Hero for the month!!! Been reading about how it is working for some, not working for others. For the one's it is not working for; are you downloading the MP.3 file and then copy/pasting it into the EQ main directory, or are you pasting the link in the post, in the directory?
When trying to login I get an error that pops up and says : The Downloaded File is incomplete or was corrupted. An update may be in progress. Please try again in 20-30 mins. Anyone else getting this?
Already reported here: Live, Test Launcher, and Installer Broken Also, PokeyAKC posted a work-around. Which is basically: To fix it, go HERE and click Download in the upper left corner. Save it in your EverQuest folder. Then start the Launcher.
Sorry that does not work i guess for everyone i copied in that sound file in my eq folder and it did nothing. I even did a fresh reinstall and says the file is corrupt. What shocks me is we are in the holidays and people might want to return and resub and I have seen no acknowledgment from Devs that they are fixing the issue. Means this game has very low support. =(
mx_crystaltwob.mp3 is the problem my pc was ok so I copied it and pasted into wifes pc and she was able to log on, before that she had the critical error couldn't log on
Thanks PokeyAKC, far better work than Daybreak, been 12 hours and no fix but decided to pop your file in and poof it works. Expect a check from Daybreak for your excellent work...
Downloading the file that PokeyAKC linked and putting it in my root everquest directory fixed my installation error. Thanks!
I have the same probelm. In another thread someone mentioned the problme didn't occur on their boxes that had logged in for the 12/19 patch. Could it be this "bug" only affects people who didn't log in for that patch?
Thank you PokeyAKC - I downloaded and placed in my root and Wa-La .. patch completed and i was ab le to log in ... You Rock!
