WinEQ2

[Tulen]

For those that are still having issues (like I was) the following got it working for me:

Fixed it by doing the following:
1) Copied WinEQ-EQ.ini to desktop to preserve WinEQ's EQ settings
2) Uninstalled WinEQ2 by running uninst-wineq2.exe in the WinEQ2 folder
3) Reinstalled WinEQ2 and launched WinEQ2 and it quickly downloads patches.
4) Close WinEQ2, copy WinEQ-EQ.ini back to WinEQ2 folder

This was posted on the LavishSoft WinEQ2 forums - here it worked for me so may help others experiencing the same issues.

It was working sporadically the end of last night and most of today but has begun to struggle again, so it's possible that for those of you who were still experiencing issues it was during those momentary windows of time when it went down again.

It seems to not be tied to lavishsoft.com itself but another server. Either way, if you read the comments on the referenced forum thread, you'll see that others agree it has to do with server issues on lavish's end and is presenting itself on our local machines as they try to load or do anything.

The fact that this issue is occurring for a number of people and all at the same time implies it has nothing to do with the local install itself but rather what we all need to connect to in order for this to work.

I wish there was a reasonable alternative. Having your product - which has no need to rely on a connection to server - come to a halt when there are server issues is just setting yourself up for failure.

I'm surprised there aren't more people posting here or on the lavish forum.

Edit: Reinstalling and waiting on it to just load and download updates is proof enough there is an issue on their end. This is absurd.
