1017 Crash on server login

[Bugaman]

Hey there guys-

I havent played on P99 for a few months now, due to not having internet at my new remote location. I just got Net yesterday and now I cant login, everytime I try the client gets to server selection and I choose P99, then it takes about 20 secs and sends me back to the Station login/pass screen. then when I try to login again it says:

Error 1017: "Connot login to the everquest server. You may need to re-run the update patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the patch server. This is usually temporary."

I am using the same setup I had back in May to play P99, could it possibly be my new internet, I just got Hughesnet Satellite as my ISP (The only one with decent speed in my area), speed is 1.6mbps. If anyone has any advice on the matter please respond. I wanna get back in the action. :confused:

I'm running some pretty slow Internet here at a hotel and I seem to login fine

Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the patch server.

Were you attempting to log in while the server was down earlier today?

Im running Vista and had no problems before, so I dont know whats wrong. I knew the server was down earlier thanks for the heads up tho. Still trying to figure this out, anyone know some resolution settings I might try??

im having the same issue. its acting like its loading from server select to char select, then puts me back to the login screen for login server.

I also am having this problem on a laptop (Vista SP2). I tried a clean install, running a few resolutions and with & without WinEQ2 to no avail.

[Bugaman]

Ive tried all those things and no luck yet =/

[Kittrel Praedator]

After uninstall did you manually delete the whole Sony folder?
That fixed my problems.

You did want it to feel classic didn't you?

how about a constructive answer instead of bullShens

Didn't we have a change to the eqhosts file since then? Maybe I'm just crazy, but I would check that your eqhosts file matches what is on the setup guide.

I'm also having this problem and i've come to the conclusion that it's not my 5998 port. No idea what the cause is.
