Starting zone trouble...HELP!

[Harbinger77]

I just downloaded and followed the steps to start playing EQ.

I leave Nektulos and zone into Nektulos forest to find everything is falling and total green screen. I can hear the zone sounds and music but I can't see anything. The city zones are fine but obviously something went wrong with Nektulos Forest.

Should I have allowed it to patch? Where did I go wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
