And eq2.exe calls LaunchPad.exe if it matters.

The old "download while you play" was BITS and was (to my knowledge) not prioritized and only used for optional files. The point of the streaming patcher is that non-optional files are also streamed on an as-needed basis. When Alice walks up in armor with TextureA, the game downloads it then. If you never set foot in a zone that uses LayoutA you never have to download it.

The point is it significantly reduces the initial download for people to get into the game (for both new players and for anyone when new content comes out). I haven't tried it out myself just quite yet, but it does seem promising and it's definitely different from the old BITS method for background DLing of optional files.



With that aside... EQ2.exe is the file that calls the launchpad. Everquest2.exe is the actual game executable and should be there no matter what method of patching you use.
