Dalayan Beginner
I tried a little searching but didn't find an answer, and if this has been resolved and I just couldn't find it, I apologize in advance.
Twice now, following a blank-screen crash which required me to hard shut-down (alt-ctrl-del did not work), the patcher has somehow broken. When I run it, it has lost my directory info and I have to re-direct it to my EQ install directory. If I do and click 'Patch and Run', it returns an error dialog box saying:
"Unable to contact the server with diagnostic information! Please check your Internet Explorer settings and ensure you can connect to http://www.shardsofdalaya.com, and rerun the patcher."
Previously I fixed this by uninstalling everything and then reinstalling--as I had only just installed. But now I'd like to preserve my install and I expect there should be a fix with less hassle. I'm using EQ Titanium on a MacBook Pro i7 2.6 with boot camp Windows 7. If I run the eqw.exe directly, I can connect and play just fine but some of my settings (text colors, key bindings, etc) are not preserved (but others are, like UI layout). Is there a patcher setting I can adjust? I can connect to www.shardsofdalaya.com just fine, but I do so through Firefox. The connection seems fine in IE 64-bit, too.
Anyone have any ideas of how to keep playing through the patcher--so I can stay in-sync with SoD and preserve my game settings?
Thanks
