View Full Version : Login server issue?

Looking for a little bit of help -

I am thinking I missed a step in the setup process. I followed step 1-5 in the getting started tab and overwrote the zipped files I needed to. However, when I launch the game I get to the login screen and after entering my login information I am told that a connection to the server could not be reached. Is there something I need to manipulate with the login server also?

Thanks for your time!

I'm not sure if it's the same problem I'm having right now. I log-in and it takes me to the server select screen, but there are no servers listed. I also tried using quick connect, but it just gives me a message that says "Failed...".

I was logged-in and playing this morning. Is anyone else having trouble connecting?

460 people logged-in, so I guess not. :)

Helllllp. I see no servers. It was working for me not 3 hours ago.

I'm guessing my problem and the OP's are related. If not, I apologize for unintentionally hijacking the thread.

I kept trying after seeing some similar posts from the past and I eventually saw the servers.

OP, keep trying.

Having the same problem. Installed titanium and followed all steps in the quickstart guide exactly as stated. When logging in I receive the message "A connection to the server could not be reached."

You guys all changed your eqhost files?

My host file currently reads:

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

And you are certain that you changed the path for the executable to run to like this?:
"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

I think a lot of it depends on your connection to the server. I've run different tracerts and sometimes the connections timeout depending on which path the connection makes.

I've had as many as 250+ blank screens before seeing servers. It generally takes me an average of 20 or so login attempts before I see a filled server select. The trick is to not close the client...just keep trying till you see a selection.

I've tried opening multiple clients...closing/re-opening the client...direct path connection to server instead of mirror...you name it.

The only thing that works for me is rapid typing.

Meh.

I'm having the same problem intermittently it seems as well.

Was doing it last night when I was on the Infinity's Edge server, but then later I got on. Same deal first thing this morning when I tried to get on P1999. Rebooted and it worked. Now, I am getting it again and rebooting isn't helping.

:(

Edit: Tried again and it's working now.

I am having this problem on my laptop at work. I took the internet cable out of the computer here ( we not allowed on it ) and just put it in my laptop. I am not sure if it's just bad connection or some kind of firewall some sort of thing, but I've tried ALOTTTTTTTTTTTT and didn't see 1 server.

Its an issue with the Eqemulator login server I think that P99 doesn't have control over. I think they are getting DDOS every once and awhile , or just too much traffic.

"Instruction at 0x10001 c6b referenced memory at 0x00000018. The memory could not be read"?

I have the same issue and have posted the IP issue on the petition forum. My brother and I are both on the same IP as we share the place and go to college, no word yet but im hoping soon. Is there anything else I can do? I fear I do not know the names of any GM's.

Hello, this is Strafae's brother, being the only one in the house with a working EQ emu account I had logged in as normal without any issues.. However, my computer took a dirt nap yesterday and since my computer was the first one to log in, none of the other networked computers in the household are able to connect to the server. I understand that two-boxing is not allowed and even frowned upon - but since my computer has been decommissioned I was wondering if any GM's would have any insight as to helping my brother get up and running?

I've been away for a while, come back and had a similar problem. Been able to log into my account, but it's intermittent whether the servers populate. From browsing the discussions seems like it could be a number of issues, including admin server protections. Any advice?
