Anyone got any arcane tips on how to avoid crash zoning during latent lag (800-1000 ms), or better: just to simply log back in?

I am using WinEQ free version already.

Basically I am sharing my internet with a bunch of facebook/youtube fools in a college dorm setting in a nearly third-world country and trying to play Project 1999. At about the same every day, latency shoots up, but heres the thing:

I can play just fine, so long as I remain in one zone and logged in (albeit compensate very carefully for lag), I can browse the net just fine. But I am locked in whatever zone I am in at the time else fatal permanent disconnect.

Any way to toggle off timeout on logging in/zoning or somethin to that extent? Or is this a technical issue plaguing those with high latency that exists even on live?

More details:
-I can function zone transitions fine at about 400-600 ms, or sometimes its about 30% chance of Dc, but can always get in to try again.
-It is not a reoccurring internet loss (problem I've had in the past), its a constant, relentlessly high latency.
-At 800-1000 ms, I can get to server select and see the emu list, but as soon as I try to join, it kicks me back to log in after a short 15 sec. Anyway to increase this?


TLDR version: is I fk'ed with high latency?
