Stuck on server select? [Archive]

I'm having an odd bug - I can log in and I see all the servers that I should (including project1999), but once I hit "select server" my comp sits there and doesn't load. Doesn't matter how long I let it load, it just gets stuck there. My computer is pretty sh*tty, but it's definitely good enough to run EQ - I can run Escape to Norrath just fine.

Anyone else had this issue?

Most likely you are running the wrong version of Everquest. Only Legal copies of Everquest Titanium or Secrets of Faydwer completely unpatched will work.
You may want to try other servers to make sure that it isn't a problem on that particular server.

If you live in a dorm or are playing at work, you might be using a proxy that is blocking port 5998, which means you won't be able to connect.
If you are running a P2P or Torrent program, it might be using all of your bandwidth. Try turning them all off.

You may have a firewall that is blocking EQ. Disable all firewalls.
If you are running a Dual Core CPU or Windows Vista, you will probably need to read the following post and apply at least one of the fixes listed in it: http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25327∞

You may need to adjust your Windows Desktop and/or your Everquest Resolution settings.

Make sure your drivers are up to date for your Video Card.

If you have sound enabled, make sure your sound card is working.

Try resetting your router. If that doesn't help, try connecting your PC directly to your cable/dsl modem and see if that helps.

If you previously had another version of EQ installed and installed SoF over the old install (even if you uninstalled EQ before-hand), you will need to uninstall EQ again and delete the Everquest install folder completely, and then install SoF again from scratch. Otherwise, simply installing SoF to a new/different folder than your current EQ install works just fine.
