Unable to Load my Client

[Zziek]

I've updated the files in my EQ Titanium Directory with the latest patch files. If I attempt to run eqgame.exe, I'm provided a dialog which states 'Please run EverQuest.exe'. When I attempt to run EverQuest.exe, I'm shown a Loading Dialog titled 'Patching Everquest' which appears to be attempting to connect to a server, but after spending about 5-10 minutes trying to connect, it informs me of the following:

Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqtech@soe.sony.com

My network connection is fine at this point, and I have my firewall disabled to avoid flagging DSETUP.dll as a virus as this was causing trouble for me earlier. Am I missing a step in installation? I don't recall it being this complicated when I updated my client for the last patch.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I need my fix. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
