Client keeps "not responding"

[orangelife]

Everytime i switch zones from west freeport to east commonlands my client stops responding. I was fine for about a week and then this started happening today. Any ideas on how to fix the issue? or what it could be?

I can barely even move before it stops responding when i log back into east commonlands

Edit: It seems it might be a problem with the specific character, my 2nd character seems fine. Has anyone experienced this? Now every time i log the first char client crashes.

You try just letting it sit for another minute? I sometimes get "not responding" as well, but it loads anyway.

Its only gotten worse, now i cant even seem to log in at all with that character. Is there like an in game moderator who can move my char to a different zone?

Well that seems a bit better for both of us, at least it means its not on our side. If its a known issue maybe it can be fixed?

i was playing just fine an hour ago, went to put my kid to bed. And now I cannot log back in. Toon is camped along the wall in W CL.

Same type of thing. Game screen loads. then "not responding" until the window poofs.

When installing, did you follow all of the instructions here? Did you delete the required files? I ask because the post warns

Failure to delete these files will result in problems accessing certain zones.

Though the filenames don't seem to imply EC. If you really need to be moved, you might try making a thread here.

EDIT:
I would try to reinstall first just in case something got broken client side.

Its just so weird that one of my chars would work fine and the other not at all

no dont reinstall.. 1 of these 2 suggestions should solve your problems. it involves removing logfile and other ini files for that specific character (dont delete just move to a different folder and try again)

1 - logfile. delete or rename your characters logfile

2 - character ini files. delete or move your characters ini files

the ini files i suggest removing can be found by going into your EQ folder, and typing your characters name into the search field (ctrl+f)

it should show a list of ini and other files with your characters name as part of the filename. cut and paste all of those files you find to a different location - like in a temp folder on your desktop.. Then try loading up that character again.
