Sorry this statement is incorrect.
eq2.exe ( the launch pad ) updates the game then when you press play it runs everquest2.exe ( the real game ).
If you run everquest2.exe directly you will have to supply your username and password every time your return to the character select screen. I'm almost 100% sure that eq2.exe set a cookie (IE) that everquest2.exe uses that expires when ever everquest2.exe is freed from memory.
I always use everquest2.exe to play unless there is a patch then I'm forced to use eq2.exe.
You do need eq2ui.xml like gm9 said in your ui's directory, it is the root document to all the XML files in the UI. With out this file the game doesn't know what to load. So if that file is missing the game defaults back to using the default.
I can's see the full tree of your EverQuest II directory so it is hard to say what is wrong / missing. What language do you have selected when you use eq2.exe? If you have any thing other then US English selected, your UI will not be in the normal path of EverQuest II\UI\myui, it will be something like EverQuest II\LP_REGION_YY_ZZ\UI\myui;where YY is the country and ZZ is the language.
I am kind of thinking you do have some other language select because when you run the launch pad (eq2.exe) it loads the default, thus using the correct path of ..\LP_REGION_YY_XX\UI\ in turn loading the default ui. But when you run everquest2.exe ( skipping the launch pad) it uses the incorrect path of ..\UI.
If you do indeed have a LP_REGION_YY_ZZ directory you need to use the everquet2.exe from this directory not the main EverQuest II directory. You also need to put your UI in here also so your path UI path would look something like ..\EverQuest II\LP_REGION_YY_ZZ\UI\myui.
PS. Remember to put the eq2ui.xml from default into your UI directory.
