Connectivity issue?

[Xer0]

Rerunning Duxa's all-in-one to change the resolution seems to have addressed the most recent issue .

So, after a port forawrding, a repatch, a reboot, and changing the windowed mode status im up and running and it's 10 pm-- thanks for the assistance everyone.

Thank you for the heads up on this. It started working again around 2 am last night. itworked following a system reboot. Not sure if this fixed or if it was more that there were a lot of people that logged off around that time?

Im going to try thge reccomended stuff (Going to restart now, even though I JUST turned my PC on, been at work all day) from that FAQ, but being that it is not a consistent problem (seems to only occur at peak hours with server pop of 950+) im imagining there's little following these steps will do to alleviate it.. It really seems like it's because the high population

Edit:

Well, I've rebooted my router and my computer and still no dice. I am almost certain it's the high population. I was however unaware of the sticky dedicated to this topic, I apologize.

Edit again:

No, actually I revoke that apology, it appears the thread dedicated to the subject is closed and in no way relevant. So, is this a known thing, the server struggling to let on around 1000 people? Really sucks that I can only play when no one is on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Moar edit:

I've successfully patched and connected to PEQ The Grand Creation as well as P99 Red, successfuly isolating the issue and confirming that nothing in that faq will fix it.

I linked it because it had some data in it. Your post here is relevant regardless of that thread, just thought it might have a solution for you.

Sadly it is doing it again. 5:30 pm on a sunday, when the population # has reached over 900

Yesterday the 29th. I began having this problem. It happened when the server was over 1000 pop. And lasted about a hour.
I was DCed from the server then unable to log back in.
Then this morning. The pop is under 600. I was Dced and have not been able to log back in for 30 mins now. I began checking some of the things you mentioned and downloaded 1 new mobo driver.
Still from any account, I get that Error 1017.

I opened Port 5998, and cleared DNS.
It allowed me to connect again.
