    Hi, I played today, and logged out 3 hours ago. Didnt shut down my computer, but now I just logged back into the patcher and now I have to download a 14g. Why? My wife start up her patcher at the same time and she isnt needing to download anything. Did I miss something somewhere?

    You did not delete anything correct? Also were you running the Streaming Client? If so and you turned on the "download entire game" option then it will just DL like a normal game... all 14-16GB of it.

    nope I downloaded the game yesterday all 17g of it or so, didnt delete anything. I just logged out after playing for awhile, then go to log in and now its on a 14g download, and I cant get ingame. didnt change anything since i logged in earlier or since logging out. well I might have turned on and off the alt toon skins.

    OK I just went in, checked the full download, then unchecked it and it let me right in. So Tonight when I go to bed I will check it and get it all. just so it doesnt bug out again.

    Alright glad you found a fix.

    It just did the same thing to me, where is that setting? It will not even let me into the configuration menu while it is downloading.

    Ok, I x'ed the windows out and reloaded and it went right into the game with out trying to re-download it.

    Well that solution did not work for me.

    The game is convinced I need to download all 14 GB again, even though I have 14+ GB of .vob files in my assetcache folder in the EverQuest II folder.

    Exactly same problem for me. Last time I played was Saturday, tried to log in this morning and it started a 14gig download. I have tried checking and unchecking full game in the configuration menu and restarting the launcher -- same problem.

    I only get 1mb/s download so this is going to take a while :/ -- any other fixes?

    Just happened to me too. I logged out 9 hours ago and now it wants to download 14G. I can run EQ2 if I avoid the patcher, but come on, I shouldn't have to do that. BTW, if I validate the install, I'm told all is fine. It takes me about 10 hours to download, so I really don't want this to repeat for no reason.

    Same thing here, I definitely did not delete anything but it wants me to re-download.

    Me and my wife are having the same problem, tried the full download trick, and restarting many times and still wants us to download 14gb
  13. Kathara New Member

    Yup, just tried everything listed and it simply won't stop asking to download well over 14gb. Guess I'll go do something else until they fix it because it would take over a day on my connection.

    Same problem.

    I last played last night - have done nothing to my installation.

    I tried checking and unchecking the full download, but no change - it's downloading the full 14G.

    Same thing here, nothings changed, and i can not get around it either, its determined to do it.

    I am having the same problem. Played this morning for a few hours. Logged off. Came back a few hours later. 14 gig download! My everquest 2 directory is still there. Not sure what happened.

    Just had the same problem, had to bypass the launcher to get into the game
  18. Kwill New Member

    This just happened to me when I was trying to two box -- I got in on the first account, second account wanted 14 gig download -- then first account did the same thing! I was able to get back in the game using the eq2 file -- really frustrating!
  19. Cronqar New Member

    same here, logged out yesterday and today it wants me to download all 14gb again, no streaming option available, checking and unchecking "full game" and validated files (all 22k are there per check and visible as well under program files) but wants to download anyway.
  20. Bigflyer New Member

    Same here. It'll take a day or so to download 14GB here. And my son's EQ2 wants to do the same, so that'll be about 3 days, and my month's bandwidth allowance...
