Error 1017: Cannot login to the Everquest server.

Ok so the issue is even stranger than just strictly underclocking.

I have been testing with over/underclocking with 1) Mobo settings 2) Ryzen Master (AMD) and 3) Gigabyte Windows software.

In default, CPU boost mode operation (out of the box, basically), EQ didn't work and got this 1017 error.

If I went into mobo BIOS and underclocked to 3.8 Ghz (NO boost, so constant frequency), EQ worked.

I then went into windows, and changed the fixed clock speed with Gigabyte software. EQ worked all the way from 3.8 Ghz up to 5.2 Ghz!

Then, to even further complicate matters, I closed Gigabyte's software, opened Ryzen Master, set CPU clocks back to "out of the box functionality" default mode (sets clock speed based on cpu load), and EQ STILL LAUNCHES NOW!

Color me very confused, but at least this strange work around gives maximum flexibility for getting EQ to work without compromising other performance (or without having to reboot a bunch).
