As a side note, I tried WinEQ 2.0 but I can't figure out how to configre it properly. How do I include the patchme switch? Thanks!

options -> preferences -> profiles -> select whatever profile you're using -> set patch to off.

not sure if wineq will help your specific problem, but I had a lot of issues running EQ and wineq seems to have solved a lot of them.

Also, if you are playing wirelessly, this may cause issues.

Thank you for the help. I deter
inex the cause. I turned off my anti-virus / firewall software and the problem went away. I am using a program called Blink. For some reason it was really impacting the game. I will have to look into this further. I had a great time playing tonight! Thank you once again to all who responded.

mm I'm having the same issue on my laptop (on wireless). Have uninstalled all anti virus software etc and windows defender is off.
I can play other games no worries, but seems wireless doesn't like eq99

That sucks to hear. I am playing wirelessly and all is well. Hopefully you can find a solution to this. Unless the connection has an issue such as noise or some other degradation of signal, it shouldn't matter to the application which is using it. Did you try a new, official driver for your wireless adapter or try switching to use the builtin windows wireless config?

It's really odd. I can run around, kill stuff with my melee, but as soon as I try to cast a spell, my spell doesn't cast, my icons all grey out, and after that I then can't target anything, hit anything or cast anything. I can still run around, and once I finally disconnect and come back, I am where I ran to. OOC comes through, and chat works while I am in the process of disconnecting (where I can't cast etc).

Will keep trying different things. If it's wireless I am in trouble as I travel 3 nights a week for work and use a mobile broadband wireless device to connect.

issue that i've heard is that wireless routers can send packets out of order. EQ doesn't like that at all.
