Somebody messed with the version on the appdb entry for Everquest 2 because it was tied to Everquest 1 when it shouldn't be and lost alot of data in the process. I'm mentioning it here because this bug, which annoys me to no end, along with all the other bug reports for Everquest 2 is not linked to it in the appdb anymore. Any way to fix this? Also I think the severity of this needs to be upped. The patcher/launcher is an important function of the game and this issue seems to have been ignored for a very long time.
You can partially fix this by installing IE. The launcher does not like the Gecko engine for some reason.
If you install IE, then the launcher displays the initial text correctly and doesn't lock-up; however when you get to the SECOND screen because of a cookie error in wine the launcher displays a login screen.
It actually functions however.
