Did you make sure you kept the quotes in the there? You have to type it exactly as below leaving out the brackets {}. Everything in the brackets must be there for it to work.

{"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Vanguard\Vanguard.exe" /testserver}

There was also another post for the EU client people not being able to access the test server might be something with that if you are using the EU client.

Ok, I just got it Venti! Thank you so much! I didn't leave the space in front of /testserver but happened to notice it in your last post. It works now! On my way back into Test!

This sends me straight to the test server

Yay! Thanks for this solution!!!

Tho It WOULD be nice if they could make the test server button always active, instead of just at the end of the file patch process. That way you could always cancel the download from the get go before it starts, then hit the test button to move forward. For now I will just go with the super easy method of a specific TestServer shortcut. heh.

Thank you, it worked for me. Ty

But the reason for the double patch (which isnt working perfectly yet, hence the download of same files twice) is that the first run will only patch files common to both, while the second phase grabs test special files. If files were modded on both while you are on vacation for two weeks, you really should do both passes.

Or any time you have funky stuff happening on test.

And there is no way to put a call into the script to have the client go to the live server patch files, check those, and then once they are updated, (if you have the Test server check within the patcher's ini) go check the test server files without having to physically log in twice ?

Thanks guys. This was a big help.

Aye, thanks from me also. While not a perfect solution it should save a lot of time getting on to test.

I playe don EQ test some and they didnt seem to have this issue, you just clicked on the eqtest icon and off to test you went no live server stuff at all. Hopefully they will be able to come up with a straight log in to test solution for us.
