    This is driving me nuts, I cannot download the installer from the website, I tried the VPN workaround and downloaded an installer but it will not install the game, I click on it and nothing happens. I used the VPN and installed the game but it will not open. Very frustrating!!

    I just started having this issue also last night. I can't install any daybreak games and get the socket error message.

    After today's patch I am getting the socket error and can't update my client. I sent a ticket into DBG but I assume they've been getting a lot of those today.

    Just an update for me... I downloaded the two stuck files EverQuest2.exe and clientvdl.bvd from EQ2Wire (early posting with link in this thread). Replaced them in my directory. The launcher still didn't work so I used the EverQuest 2 application directly in the install folder (there are two so I used the one that took me to a sign on screen where I enter my log in information then it asks for my character name and server). After entering that it let me in the game and I played fine.

    Clearly this is a launchpad problem since I can get in without the launchpad.

    John yeah we all having issues with this socket error bull, and yes somone did do a temp fix but its not working for some of us, so I guess some of us will have to do something different tonight,, yup it sucks but hell I tried everything even called spectrum and they put me over to road runner nothing is wrong on there part so its something to do with DBG server prob who knows, but I'm wasting 80 bucks this month not doing nothing

    The Validate tab on the LaunchPad downloads the files EverQuest2.exe and clientvdl.bvd. Unfortunately, it still does not fix the issue.

    Ok I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it did not work. Decided to give one more try tonight before going to bed and it worked finally! I hope everyone else gets theirs to work.

    Curious, you said you reinstalled. What button/link did you click? Or did you download from another site? I am unable to reinstall using any of DB's links, nothing at all happens when I clicked. Thanks
