Game Won't Load Past Server Select #3

[MaSQue]

I have posted a couple of posts prior to this one without having any luck and last night one of my friends sat down with me and helped me work on this problem again (Yea I still want to come play P99 and leave Live EQ) I can't help is, I miss this place. Guys you would have no idea how GRATEFUL I would be to come back to P99, I really hope someone can take time and find this fix.

This was my original post when I fought with this the first time ......

************************************************** ************************

So myself and a friend restarted trouble shooting this once again. Here are some things changed from the last two times. I will post links to my stream last night with viewing points for each thing. I was trouble shooting some frame drops issues I had last night (on a back up channel) and she popped into chat and helped me a little.

Few things .........
- I relocated my P99 to the downloads folder due to people saying it needed to be in a independent folder somewhere away from program files.
- This PC is 100% new and custom built. The specs are down below my stream in the info section in the right side column.


************************************************** ************************

There is some foul language in the video btw, be warned.
I was playing Hearthstone at the start some ignore all that and just go to the points in the video I list here to see each part that's needed to be seen.

The P99 stuff starts at 02:21:47
https://www.twitch.tv/idleknight/v/100697679

- 00:55:14 shows how I log in and it crashes at server log in and puts me back to the log in screen.

- 01:49:30 I am able to log into the PEQ server, but watch what happens and how the character is all jittery. Now I could go to character select here and even on a couple other low end servers with the same results. P99 Red/Blue would not log in at all.

There is other stuff in the video and you can watch it as you see fit, but guys I REALLY wanna return to P99, I am so sick of Live EQ and I canceled all 3 of my accounts this morning regardless of if I get back into P99.

I wanted to add ........... EQ Live works 100% perfectly fine. This PC will also play any game out on ultra settings perfectly ............. with the exception of P99 of course (go figure eh?)

Is your processor overclocked? I had the same issue until I undid my overclock, no issues since.

[Blizzax]

Ignore, just read through the 7 pages of your 2nd post

No this was covered in the linked stream video above btw :D however thanks for taking the time to actually do some light reading there.

Ignore, just read through the 7 pages of your 2nd post 7 pages lol all the work folks put in and still no fix was found. fml :(

that's what I get for building a top of the line gaming rig lol

[Blizzax]

I'm at work currently, but I'll take a look through everything and see if anything jumps out at me when I get home. I built this rig about 9 months ago, and as I said had issues at first, course mine is an AMD build.

CPU-AMD 8350
MB-Asus Corsshair V Formula Z
Memory-x2Corsair Dominator 1600mhz 8gb RAM
GPU-ASUS Strix R9 390x 8GB
Hardrives-256gb Samsung EVO SSD (Windows 10 and Game of the month here)
3TB WB Black Edition (EQ here and other misc)
PSU-Corsair HX850, 850W

What I've read it leads me to believe it is possibly processor or memory related. I know the old Titanium client is very finicky when it comes to higher speed processors and RAM.

Well, the one thing from last night's teching was when I logged into any other server than the 2 P99 servers it would get to character selection and the character would be all jittery acting, like the movement of standing there was a million times faster, that is link in the OP up there, but both P99 servers would not log in past server select, it would start the process then kick me to log-in so I am kinda disagreeing with you on that because if that was the case I would never have made it to character select on other servers right?

I will say the ones I get to character select would not let me click any buttons, none would respect to me so to leave the server I had to ctrl-alt-delete out.



two key points in the stream are (kicked to server login) 00:55:14 and the other servers character sleect acting like they were on crack rocks and nothing working is at 01:49:30

The P99 stuff starts at 02:21:47

take a look at that when you can and see what you think if ya will

Have you tried limiting EQ to a single core?

[MaSQue]

Have you tried limiting EQ to a single core?yes we did, (thats in the video as well) ;)

The launcher and the game are two different beasts in itself.

Reading thru the second attempt your being capped at 720.

Set your native resolution to 720
Next search for all eqclient.ini and delete them all
Next in your EQ folder there is a EQutility file that can adjust settings. IF you can't find that then you can go thru options in the launcher.

Make sure that all the settings are correct reso wise.

Next when you get to the server select screen alt ent and turn it into Windows mode.

Exit completely out and restart the machine.

Repeat the steps and see if everything stuck. The launcher should load in Windows mode from the start. If this doesn't happen then you need to adjust compatibility settings for the game file and the launcher.bat then need to make sure your eqclient.ini isn't set to read only. This will not allow any saving and could be what has been getting you from the start ( theory)

Once you hit server select and the game forces you back to Windows mode it should be set to 720. The idea is to have everything preset so the game doesn't force Windows to change resolution EQ doesn't like this and will give you errors.

Upon this you should get the classic loading screen. Wait for character select and then you can drop down to window mode again. If your screen stays black for more than 1 min try to alt enter.
(As a side note certain websites will halt/freeze the game. Idk if it has something to do with flash or ads or pop up blocker but I have a specific website that I know will stop EQ after browsing and you have to alt ent to un freeze it.) Make sure browser is closed and any other programs

Select your toon and once more you might get reso change from window to full screen but once you are in game you can start adjusting things from ALT O tab 2

This has been a compilation of all the computers that I have ran EQ on

Win 8 OTC HP connected to 55" tv via HDMI in FS

Win 7 converted to 10 Gaming Rig 2 22" monitors Window Mode

Win 7 converted to 10 Work Machine for editing video Window Mode

Edit ; didn't watch the video have shitty Internet.

- k lemme reply to you in kind on these

+ I should not have to change my desktop reso from 1920x1080p correct? Least I have never had to do that before on all my other machines. So I assume I would not need to do that to my PC reso this go round.

++ Deleting eqclient.ini made it so it would not even make it to login screen. It also tried to load the game in full screen. With the ini file it loads perfectly. (Maybe I'm miss understanding something here)

+ I did go into options before log in and I went through all of the resolution settings, still did the same thing. But what I did notice is each different reso when I loaded game past server select it did try to resize my window to the new setting before it kicked me back to login screen.

+ I am ALREADY in windows mode when I am at server select. Actually I already load in windows mode when I start the game up.

+ I humored you though and did a total change over to 720 reso and tried to log in and it did the same thing. I thankfully went back to my standard reso lol

+ I did go into my eqclient file and change all reso's to 720 - still does same thing

+ I did go back and try to log into the PEQ server this time and now with the 720 setting it wont even let me in that server now where as before it would. So .... going back to my old setting on 1920X1080

+ Remove the eqclient file and loaded EQ. It tried loading in full screen so I alt/enter back to windowed mode. I go to log into the PEQ server and it starts loading in full screen, I can see the game cursor on my black screen so I alt/enter again and it goes to win mode but kicks me back to log in screen.


/sigh

Interesting.

The reason I wanted you to delete your ini's is because I like Thulack feel that it is trying to pull the wrong INI file so by deleting them all and starting things up forces the game to make a new file.

What exactly are you installing from (source)?

What are your permissions for eqgame.
https://puu.sh/shgJt/663b6d7c72.png

What mode is Everquest.exe in
https://puu.sh/shgRu/08f362aca5.png

Run through this for other options outside of the game
https://puu.sh/shgZx/eae9356985.png

What is eqdevice set to. Delete it before editing options to correct the mistake if there is one.
https://puu.sh/shhk6/fd89c451be.png

Before Check and editing all this move 42patch over.

If none of this works start from scratch. I know you said you have tried that but missing or forgetting one step is all it takes to mess up installation.

For Good Measure this is what my eqclient looks like

This all seems like issues DUXA all-in-one was designed to fix, assuming you've tried it?The extreme jittery "cracked out" out characters is a sign of a CPU clock rate issue, and the crashing while going from server select to character select (based on your full screen/window symptom).

What exactly are you installing from (source)? Hard Disks

What are your permissions for eqgame.

What mode is Everquest.exe in
https://puu.sh/shgRu/08f362aca5.png Windows xp Service pack 2 but changed to 3 since all my other machines have it on SP3

Before Check and editing all this move 42patch over.

If none of this works start from scratch. I know you said you have tried that but missing or forgetting one step is all it takes to mess up installation.

I meant what torrent are you installing from.

Being that you have 2 cards make sure your settings are being pulled from the proper card. Pull one card.

Copy and paste my ini as your own and see what that does.

@paulgiamatti if this even works. Look into this with me. ( we need @s)

[MaSQue]

Copied your ini over and well, I'll let you look for yourself.
https://www.twitch.tv/idleknight/v/100939408

Basically it tried loading to login in full screen, alt/enter back to windowe mode. Logged in, it was in a lrger window this time, clicked enter server and it goes into the server in full screen. alt/enter to win mode kicks me back to log in.

I'm installing from HARD DISKS meaning the circle thingys that has EQ on it that I bought from the store when it was brand new. :D Hard Disks - DISKS ;) yes I still have the original disks for titanium
I did copy your ini, posted above this. And i did check the video cards thing and yea all is fine there, its only drawing from one.

PS: There may be times I seem a little pissy, its not directed at you guys lol Its all directed at this problem thats been going on for I cant say how long now. Close to uninstalling and giving up. this is a silly problem that shouldnt exist. I have did this installation 4-5 times off same disks and its worked 100% perfect each time, cept this time. Thank you for all the help, really guys thanks

[Tupakk]

Change your screen resolution to 1600x1200

Basically you have to work your computer around the INI.

Not getting an error though is pretty weird. Like the launcher isn't going to the game at all.

What was the in game error after the first attempt in the video. 1012? couldnt read it.

Im going to goto dinner and ill get back to this.

Install a fresh game in the mean time in its own folder in the C:/ drive update with the proper 42 pactch and pull out what is necessary by the time I get back we can play with that one.

I think you have muddled with this one so many times that it doesnt know left from right.

Edit: Download the torrent. The discs might be your downfall.

its actually 1017 error - cannot login to server bla bla - it only pops up when I crash to log in and relog in. just an error that doesnt mean anything.

Well, cant do any more tonight, gonna grab some sleep, got to be at work 4am :( but will check back each day till I get so sick of trying that I just quit with it all hehe thanks again guys

[Tupakk]

Just to confirm you do have a working copy running on another machine right?

Before you go to bed download the one online. So it's ready in the morning.

Yes all my P99's are installed from disks and I already have the ones from online DL'd. I actually did the install from the digital downloads BEFORE the hard disks cause I had loaned my disks to a friend and it did exactly what its doing right now so really dont think thats the fix guys

[Blizzax]

This sounds like there is a conflict between EQ real, your desktop, and your video card. Have you set them all to 809x600 before? If not set all three (make sure in your Nvidia aid program, not sure what it is called, you change it aswell). Also, with your second monitor fucking up, do you have it set as one screen, AMD has eyefinity, does nvidia have an equivalent? If so disable that aswell

[Blizzax]

EQ reso, not real

[MaSQue]

EQ reso, not real

yea I did and ACK! accidently deleted my teching videos lol sorry. if need back can rerecord them. k going to bed

[Kreigor]

Really oddly i know i told you how i solved my similar problem with lowering my oc but i also had some other res and odd problems i solved by doing some things

if you have steam add eqgame.exe as a non steam game put patchme in the launch options

make sure steam is NOT set to run as admin or any compatibility settings
make sure eqgame.exe is NOT set to run as admin or any comaptibility settings

and try and start and run it through steam

seems silly but it solved alot of my problems suprisingly

but Steam download isn't Titanium, I thought EQemu used Titanium only?

[Kreigor]

now i know you said your processor isnt overclocked is the stock rate above 4.1/4.2ghz if so try and UNDERclock your cpu to 4.0 then do .1 increments from there untill like 3.2ghz because honestly this is EXACTLY what was happening to me and it was just a cpu timing issue

[Kreigor]

right steam version is not titanium im saying use the titanium install exe and load it through your steam it helped some issues i had AFTER the cpu one

[MaSQue]

yea I appreciate everything guys but gonna uninstall and give up this losing battle. Tired of shucking and jiving a game just to get it to work .... not worth the effort. We tried but gonna drop this and move on, thanks again for all the help guys.

[MaSQue]

Anyone here a high end tech with this sort of thing that would not mind getting in voice chat while I live stream and working with me on this tech issue?

[Kreigor]

man your going back and forth arent yah?

[MaSQue]

man your going back and forth arent yah?

yay I come back every now and then to try again, for sure someone here knows a fix for this? lol

So once again ............

[Zaela]

I don't know what I'm talking about and not really a typical troubleshooting thing but... as an extreme option you could try installing and running EQ from a VM. That way you could limit access to the CPU and/or take your graphics card out of the equation entirely (if you can't already do that? Should try if you can). Download Virtualbox and find a winXP or linux ISO (I'd go with Linux Mint and wine as a beginner-friendly linux option myself), fiddle around with the hardware settings, install the OS, and go from there.

Before that I would try setting these lines to FALSE in eqclient.ini, see if that helps any at least on non-P99 servers:

VertexShaders=FALSE
20PixelShaders=FALSE
14PixelShaders=FALSE
1xPixelShaders=FALSE

[paulgiamatti]

its actually 1017 error - cannot login to server bla bla - it only pops up when I crash to log in and relog in.

I rebooted my machine and when I log in now, it doesn't kick me to login screen, it throws up a pop up saying I got an unknown error when trying to log into server.

I am able to log into the PEQ server, but watch what happens and how the character is all jittery.

when I logged into any other server than the 2 P99 servers it would get to character selection and the character would be all jittery acting, like the movement of standing there was a million times faster

This is a clock speed issue and you need to underclock your CPU in order to play on P99. Do this:

UNDERclock your cpu to 4.0 then do .1 increments from there untill like 3.2ghz

Others have had the same issue - some go the underclock route and fix it at their CPU's peril, while others aren't willing to downgrade their PC just to play classic elf sim. It's definitely a trade-off, but most of your symptoms are telltale signs of the same issue - there might also be some resolution funkiness going on, but I'm willing to wager that this isn't what's keeping you from signing into the server, and that will probably be easily fixable once you solve the CPU clock timing issue. This is a problem that's unique to P99 due to preventative measures against speed hacking, which explains why you're able to sign into live servers and play without any problems. Others who've had this issue also reported the same jittery/sped-up movement when signing into other EQEmu servers, which you're able to sign into because they aren't running the same check against cheats as P99.

[derpcake]

Just get Vmware and run EQ from that.

Doesn't fuck with your comp setup and its pretty handy for other things, easily set up in under 30 minutes. I use it as an emulator for the old games that don't run well on new machines.

Can you elaborate on which Vmware to download? I searched their website, but it's a bit filled with stuff I don't understand lmao.

Download Virtualbox and find a winXP or linux ISO (I'd go with Linux Mint and wine as a beginner-friendly linux option myself), fiddle around with the hardware settings, install the OS, and go from there.

I also prefer VirtualBox - if you aren't familiar with setting up kernels in a virtual environment you might want to hit up some YouTube tutorials. It's pretty easy though. And yeah, you need the actual software for whichever operating system you want to virtualize - probably not the best idea to install Windows 7/8/10 in a VM for more than testing purposes, since it will be pretty resource-intensive. If you plan on using a VM to play on P99, for example, you'll want to go with something more lightweight like Windows XP or Linux.
