Non-US EQ2 installation
 

I need some information from you guys.

1. What exactly is in the LP_REGION_??_?? directory?
2. Is the LP_REGION_??_?? directory a mirror file for file copy of the EverQuest II directory?
3. If the LP_REGION_??_?? directory is a mirror of the EverQUest II directory does the game run the .exe files in the LP_REGION_??_?? or the EverQUest II directory?
4. Why the frack did they do it this way for? lol

Thanks for any info you may be able to provide.

Yeah, it's just a straight up copy of the original install and no, I can't for the life of me understand what the point is. You can edit some of the xml/txt files and gain access to the US servers with a EU install without having to copy everything like that though.

In the file "lp_options.xml" find the tag and edit it so that it looks like so:

<DefaulT RgnID="LP_REGION_EN_US"/>

In the file "lp_rgn.txt" make sure it says:

LP_REGION_EN_US

In the file "lp_lang.txt" make sure it says:

en_US


That's it, now you have access to the US servers on a EU install and your patcher won't be making a whole new copy of your install. :)

Edit:

One more thing. If you did a EU install and got the LP_REGION thingy then yes, the game uses the exe files in the LP_REGION folder. You could, theoretically delete anything outside that folder because it's all just dead weight.

Unless, of course they've changed it since I played last. This time around I just edited the xml/txt files so that the patcher didn't make that copy to begin with.

Thanks Pixi that cleared up a lot. Now maybe I can complete my project with out having to really pick another language and letting it patch. lol

Thanks
