Today, before I went to work, all was fine. Now that I'm home again, I run the Launcher, clicked "Play" and I got a window I never seen before:

Then I get the ordinary Window when EQ2 starts and then the task just shuts down. No message, no crash, it just stops and disappears from the Taskmanager.
I have no clue what's wrong, I didn't change anything :'( :'( :'(
Found a solution. Unbeliveable, the issue occured this noon to dozens of players, and the thread was already on page 2 ... deleting paks/patch.vpk works after the game got patched by the launcher. Then hit "Play" ... shesh.
Glad you got it sorted.
