For the love of god let me play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wowhead441]

booted after server select with no error. getting pretty frustrated with this. Ive spent hours trying to get it to work. Has my ip been blocked or something?

[Llandris]

Greetings. What patch files are you currently running? Are you trying to create a character out of era (Gnome Paladin for instance)?

[Argh]

Post your Everquest/Logs/dbg.txt file. If its too large to post directly here, use pastebin (https://pastebin.com/) and share the link. Have you ever ran the eqgame file without blocking the patcher? I've sent you a PM as well with something you can try.

[Kruel]

hopefully I am not breaking the rules by posting a link here, but this is what I followed to get my game installed.

dude makes it pretty easy to get the game going. took me about 20 minutes and I am bad at computer crap.

While I have no idea what WorldAuthenticate Checkpoint 3 is (maybe Llandris or a dev could help you on that) I've found a similar issue in some archived posts on p99 here (https://www.project1999.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-93732.html) which seem to point at it being an overclocking issue.

Are you overclocking your CPU or anything else?

[wowhead441]

I think it maybe but, it was the person who sold it to me. I'm not good with bios i don't know how to throttle it back

[wowhead441]

Im running windows 10 64bit on an AMD FX-8350 4.37ghz with 32gb ram and a nvidia geforce gt 1030.

[Deathrydar]

Bet ya it's a port in your router...

[Argh]

I'm not great with Windows, so maybe someone else can be a better help with helping you to disable overclocking, but give this a try: https://neosmart.net/wiki/0x0000124-whea-uncorrectable-error/#Fix_1_Disable_overclocking_from_BIOS

[wowhead441]

Yes, it was an overclocking issue. I was running the stock fx8350 4ghz at 4.37ghz. I bumped it down to 3.9ghz and I am sitting at character select feeling confident!

[Argh]

Glad to see its working now.

[drmskr]

Umm, yea.

I just downgraded to 4Ghz. I can log in now.

But for me anyways, it was a big dil#& I fell on, as my luclin models are gone.

I may as well go back to a superior TEXT based MUD..
