Hi, I have an issue with logging in to the game. Shortly after pressing the play button, EQ2 opens perfectly and without any issues, it shows me the 'Blood of Luclin' screen, but after that, a window pops up and shows 'Trying login server #1,#2,#3'. After going through this, it says that the game can't connect to a login server at the moment and that I should try it again in a few minutes. I've been getting this error since yesteday and I tried reinstalling and such, but it still won't log in. The server Status of Skyfire so far is fine, so I don't understand why it won't let me play-? (It's my first time trying to log in since November '19, maybe because of this?) Please send help, I really want to complete some quests xD Thank you in advance! Yelea
This is usually because the server is down, honestly. Sometimes it's just the authentication servers that are down. I usually wait 10 minutes then try again.
Update: I tried it since yesterday about 5 times and launched it a bit ago again. Still no response from the Login servers, and I found out a friend of mine got the same issue since a few weeks. Any ideas how to resolve that? (Checked the game files just now, everything is there as its supposed to be) Yelea
Have you tried the simple things? (1) Shut down your computer, router, and modem. Wait at least 60 seconds then power them back up. Does this help? (2) Is the Launchpad even starting? The Knowledgebase article on Debugging Launchpad Issues is helpful. (3) Start the Launchpad (you may have to use Run as Administrator). Click the Advanced Tools button (crossed hammer and wrench icon) and ask it to Validate Files. Does this help? (4) Make sure your local antivirus and firewall software is not interfering. There's a Knowledgebase article on Debugging your Firewall that may be helpful. (5) The next step, if the things above don't help, would be to get more information: (i) Go to http://speedtest.net/ -- Click Begin Test, then click Share This Result, then copy the URL it gives you into your reply here. This tells us something about your ISP, type of connection, and UL/DL speeds.(ii) From the START button, in the little window type CMD and hit enter to open a command window. Otherwise, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories, right-click the Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator" (For Windows 8 - Press the WINDOWS and X keys together and then click on Command Prompt (Admin). Click Yes to the User Account Control message that appears.)(iii) In the CMD window, you should have a folder address (mine says C:\Users\Administrator>) with a flashing cursor after it. Type in each of three three commands below, one at a time, and let each run. You know it's done when you get the folder address and cursor back. ipconfig /all > c:\netinfo.txt tracert lpj.daybreakgames.com >> c:\netinfo.txt pathping lpj.daybreakgames.com >> c:\netinfo.txt (iv) Now, go to C:\netinfo.txt, and open that file with Notepad. Copy and paste all that info here. These three commands help us see if you have internet roadblocks, and exactly where they occur. You need not share these results here if you don't want to. You may be able to see from the results what the problem is, and if so you may be able to take steps to address it yourself.Otherwise, you can paste that info here and we can try to see what the issue may be.
Oh! Try this on EverQuest2.exe and LaunchPad.exe... Open your EQ2 installation folder and find these EXE files. Right-click one, select Properties, then Compatibility, then check the "Run As Administrator" checkbox. You can also just right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" for that session.
https://www.speedtest.net/result/8892398719 - the results. Also, I already tried to run the game as Administrator, didn't work as well. I also seem to have this Login Server problem only with daybreak games. netinfo.txt (I hope you can understand what's written there, I translated that what I found to be nessesary?

I hope this helps with figuring out what my problem is, because I really don't have any idea Thanks in advance (again), Yelea
The opening movie can also cause issues (it plays only the first time you log in). To bypass it, add this line: /cl_movie_enabled false to the eq2.ini file.
It looks as if it's never making contact with the U.S. servers. I don't know from where the localized versions of the software are served. I think at this point you probably are going to have to open a service ticket via /petition and get DBG staff to help diagnose. Give them all this info.
