plz help cant paly?

so ive been trying to play p1999 for a few days now, i can connect and i've gotten to level 4 on my warrior but i keep having strange problems.

The first problem is that randomly while just playing things stop moving and nothing works not chat no skills not anything but i can still walk around.

the second thing I've noticed is that i managed to make my way to the Tunnel place that every one trades in and im there and able to see every one then about a minute or so every single time im there, every one disappears, the tunnel becomes empty except for a single corpse at the entrance called Karloree's Corpse. its always there but its not there when the game is working properly and i can see every one.

I want to play this game, but i am having a lot of issues with the 2 problems mentioned above its taken me a couple days just to get to level 4 ......

thing's I have tried to fix the problems:
run in compatibility mode for windows xp sp 2 and 3
run as administrator
I am using WinEQ2.15 lite
I re installed everything and patched again to a new directory
I have tried playing on green and blue (maybe it was an issue with one of the servers )
I joined the discord of p99 and asked around there for help, some people say its my internet connection but it is not. I have the best available internet in my countery ( Canada ) i did a test just now and its 825 mbps download and 31.7

some people asked if it could be my hardware ? I know its not that either. I use windows 10, im using a 4k monitor, i have 32 gigs of ddr4 ram i have 1070gtx founders i have an msi7 motherboard I have an intel core i7 6700k processor i know its not my hardware ive been using this rig for a few years now. I have no idea how to fix this but every one else seems to be able to play this game just fine so im wondering whats up.

definitely sounds like a network issue. I've heard of people having issues that were alleviated by using a VPN; for testing purposes I would recommend trying that out. Obviously any modern broadband is going to be fast enough, people played this on 56k. But having a fast connection isn't the end all be all of connectivity issues. it sounds like there's some sort of problem between your client and the server. If you don't have a VPN, try using a mobile hotspot or some other means of troubleshooting that will rule out your internets connection to the server as the problem.

I've read your other post on the subject as well. What I'm gathering is that you seem to not fully understand the principles of troubleshooting, and seem to be taking peoples questions and suggestions the wrong way.


Basic logic would tell us there is no problem with the server, the server setup, the patch files, etc. Because everyone else can play, you acknowledge this yourself.


To troubleshoot we have to isolate the problem. There are a hundred possible things that could be the culprit, so you want ot narrow it down using process of elimination starting with the easiest things to test, that might eliminate the most possibilities with the broadest stroke.

For example, we can discern whether it's not HARDWARE related by trying another piece of hardware. You'd need an alternate device to test it on. A laptop or even a table running windows would do the trick. Anything that will let you log into the game simply for tersting purposes.

If the problem doesn't persist after trying on a new device, then it can be isolated to your original device.

Inversely if issue doesn't persist across devices, we know it's not isolated to that machine and is almost certainly a network issue.

Running a speed test doesn't matter. That's testing the speed of the connection to the speedtest servers. The speedtest servers are not the game servers. They won't require the same ports etc.

If it is a network issue, try the suggestion in my previous post-- utilizing a hotspot, VPN, or otherwise alternet network connection option.
