Hi Kaldran.. I've been working with him on this also. It is Java giving the error and the error is Recv Failed. Here's the screenshot he sent me:
He has:
- Originally updated Java, it was out of date.
- Uninstalled Java, Deleted the entire Sun folder under C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\, Deleted all traces of Java files, Cleared his browser cache. Restarted, then reinstalled Java from the latest version manual installer and restarted again.
- Backed up and Deleted all of the custom UI folders under the main UI directory as well as Backed up and Deleted all of the .ini files in the main Everquest II directory.
- Uninstalled both through the uninstaller and manually Profit UI updater several times, deleting the cache folder (only) for Java each time in the previously mentioned file path.
- He was using his ISP's DNS servers, we changed those to OpenDNS.. which is what I use and have no problems with the updater besides the occasional error about banner width or something that doesn't seem to affect usage.
- Uninstalled EQ2Maps and reinstalled it, which is probably irrelevant due to the previous 'Deleted all custom UIs' list item.
- He is running it in Admin mode and even disabled UAC. I have also done this and am using Vista Ultimate 64-bit as well, so that has nothing to do with it as the Profit updater works fine for me.
- He does have the maximum 1000 MBs of Java cache enabled, caching of temporary files is enabled.
- He doesn't use Panda antivirus, as you (Kaldran) mentioned there was a problem with in one of your other posts. He does use antivirus, but it is the same as mine and configured the same way. I'm pretty sure he said that he uses just the Windows Firewall also.
- There's probably more, I'll add it as I remember.
He has had some connection problems and breaks up, indicating packet loss, on ventrilo sometimes; however the connection always seems to be working fine when he is attempting to run the Profit updater.
Question to gm9: Would adding the -Xnosplash parameter to the shortcut affect the updater's functionality at all? We could try that and see if just bypassing the splash screen helps.
