    The downloads didn't work for me.
    each time I try to launch the game, with the blue eq2 icon (that was in one of the new files) I get an error message that I am missing dll files. I download the ones it says, then get another error message with another dll file missing.

    Unless I am doing something wrong, not sure what else I can do.

    DBG really did some messed up thing with this patch I'm trying to update the whole game watch that wont even work, seems weird you cant even re download the game either this is crazy

    That gives you the list of files. You still have to download them.
  13. pplnotsointelligent Active Member

    Feldon do DBG even know that you cant even reinstall a new version from there website,,
  14. Feldon Well-Known Member

    I believe so.
  15. pplnotsointelligent Active Member

    Okay so with players having this issue why didn't they announce anything as of yet, about this issue, obliviously its something on there part, because after going to the tool thing I went to full game update and it didn't even work,,
  16. merlincia New Member

    I tried the fixes listed here, no luck, I am so sick of this, I sure hope it is fixed soon........nothing works :(. It seems lately after every update I have issues, and spend hours just trying to get back in the game, I have played since close to launch, and I am so sick of this and so close to leaving this game these days.

    It's not technically a problem on DBG's end. The problem exists in between your ISP and Daybreak's data centre.

    Think of it like you're trying to get across town, you stop and ask for directions and someone sends you completely the wrong way. You don't reach your destination.
  18. pplnotsointelligent Active Member



    stop with the assuming thing its something with this maintnence because I was playing just fine lastnight
  19. Malleria Well-Known Member

    Except this didn't just start today, it's been going on for a few days now. You just haven't been affected until today because there was nothing to download earlier in the week.

    And it's not assumption, it's straight from the devs. Current work arounds are to use a VPN to change the way your traffic is routed, or try an alternate connection (eg mobile phone hotspot, just watch your data usage!).
  20. LeojiArkhest New Member

    How about F that! I've been playing all week, no issue! Today, get home from work, just want to play for a bit. NOPE. Can't do that. Was NO issue till this patch. Would be soooo nice to HEAR ANYTHING from DBG besides, oh we are working on it.

    LET'S GET A REPLY!! WHAT are you working on? WHEN will it be ready?
    WHEN can we play the game we pay for EVERY MONTH?????

    ANSWERS?????
