I figured out a way around it, you just have to use the old way of launching, i wasn't sure it would still work. Go into your eq folder, find eqgame.exe, make a shortcut of it, then right click the shortcut, go to properties and in the target line at the end, put a space and write "patchme" without the quotes. Then all you do is use that shortcut to launch directly.
