EQ Crash & Return to Login when Entering World

[briefs]

Hey everyone,

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction, have tried on several different occasions to get p99 up and working with no luck.

Returning player after a long break - first time installing on new PC happened on previous windows version & now again since ive upgraded to windows 10.

Fresh install, no issues getting to character select - however when I select enter world the game either freezes with the music still playing, or I am returned to the login screen after 3-4 minutes. I have tried multiple times with new characters, or existing characters on Blue. I was however able to create a new character on red and login first attempt. Have tried on both wifi and wired in with same result.

A friend was able to login in on my network with no issues.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Briefs,

That is super frustrating. I put together a video on a bunch of common fixes for crashes. Give these a try and if you are still having issues I can try to help you troubleshoot them!

Find the video here. (https://youtu.be/hgFuYs-okjY)

Thanks! I will try a fresh install tonight and adjust to run as admin & compatibility mode as well install on my C drive vs D drive.

I'll let you know how I make out.

I've completed a fresh install - no issues logging into Red, crash everytime i log into Blue?

So weird.

having the same issue here and doing a fresh install this morning, but im willing to bet its something to do with the launcher. I was previously using a shortcut with C:\Users\The Gaming Temple\Downloads\EverQuest-Project1999\EverQuest.bat" apparently on the install instructions we're supposed to use launch titanium.

"Included in the spell files is Launch Titanium.bat - this is the file you will use to launch Everquest after you have completed the remaining steps."

Trying to launch via launch titanium with, start eqgame patchme, produces the same result, I make it to character select, enter world, then get The server is not responding.

idk, we'll see

ok so, fresh install to c:\p1999, v55 update, launch titanium, "windows can not find eqgame'

No luck yet

recopied launch titanium to my fresh install, got it to launch this time but im still getting 'the server is not responding' when trying to enter world. idk

I am still able to login into Red and play, however the same issue persists logging into blue or green.

Okay, went diving for an answer to this and came up with a surprising solution. This post says it has found a solution to this issue by reducing the clock speed of their processor.

This also seems to be resolved by setting a single core to run Windows. Have either of you tried that?

I cover how to do that here (https://youtu.be/hgFuYs-okjY)

I downclocked my processor to 75%, still no change. I can't even get to the character select on blue or green now. No issues still logging in and playing on red.

Okay, we may want to try and get your log file and see if an error is popping up.

Here is a post about where to find and enable (https://wiki.project1999.com/Logfiles) them.

Also, this Reddit post talks about flushing your DNS as a potential fix to not seeing the servers/being able to log in.Find that here. (https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999/comments/ah8bjv/solved_p99_server_list_empty_login_error/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

Hey,

Below seems to be the error generated when trying to login to Blue. I can paste the wholes sequence, but this appears to be the issue terminating my connection.

2022-07-16 16:32:30 WorldAuthenticate: Initiating Login.
2022-07-16 16:33:00 Networking: Connection Closed [0] with 0 pending bytes.

2022-07-16 16:33:00 *** WorldAuthenticate. Checkpoint 3.

Flushed my DNS

Windows IP Configuration

Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.

Still unable to login into Blue. Same error as above.

Just fyi, i really appreciate all the suggestions.

I reset my router & flushed again and was able to login to blue...

Not finding much for this error. Have you tried the tips I recommended?

The closest thing I've found is an incompatibility between screen dimensions. Found at this article here. (https://imperiumserver.boards.net/thread/1414/crashing-character-login)
