Error 1017

[greyfeather_tx]

I did a fresh install and followed all the instructions. I have disabled my antivirus and firewall.
I can login to the server select screen but when I hit play for project 1999 server, I get the 1017 error...
I played a couple years ago but this issue is new to me.
I am running windows 10 64-bit

Instantly or after a while.

sounds dumb but verify your computers times and dates ect... are correct
Try running the eq as admin if its not already
MAke sure theres not an ip conflict start/run/cmd.exe ipconfig.exe

is this happening on all servers publicemu and private lanemu ? or just public or just privat?

Verify your Windows or other firewall isnt blocking the ports or the program
Also verify your Antivirus hasnt set eq to run in safe mode or blocked altogether (examply. my avast tries to open in a Sandbox aka isolation mode)

if this is a private lan server you could shut it off and throw up a portable repack to verify your server isnt the issue

I also had to install the emulator on mine to make mine work right and make sure I had all patches and folders updated to current.

This seems like it might help also

Your installation is fine - this is a hardware-related issue. More specifically, your CPU clock speed is too fast. WinEQ2 is the "try this first" silver bullet solution, and if that doesn't work then you're in for some unhappy news. There are a couple different solutions beyond WinEQ2, however:

1. Underclock your CPU to 4.0 GHz, and then decrease by .1 increments from there until you're able to reliably sign into the servers. Most people who've done this have had to underclock their CPU from 4+ GHz to around 3.2 - 3.4 GHz in order to play on P99.

2. Use virtualization software such as VMware or VirtualBox to build a virtual machine that's capable of signing into P99. Further info:





This is a problem that's unique to P99 due to preventative measures against speed hacking - 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 checks against cheats as P99.

Figured it out....
my CPU is clocked at 4.6ghz...down clocked to 3.8 and it works fine now
Thanks all :)

How did you underclock your cpu?
