Without going through all the posts, is there any conclusion to fixing zone crashes? I play with 5 RL friends and half of us experience zone crashes and the other half do not. It may just be a coincidence, but those of us who own the titanium pack and install from disk experience crashes. The others have gotten the files via download from file sharing.

WinEQ has helped some, while it has not made any difference to others.

Another fix some people said helped was removing the firewall on your router.

Another fix yet was...something about clicking tye bypass triangular...something on you router settings...

I haven't been able to find anything on my end that contributes to the excessive amount of zone crashes. Must just be something with the emulator.

Yeah. Very new disc install here, and I crash while zoning pretty often. Running Win7 64-Bit on a Core i7 laptop. The LD's that occur last for 20-30 minutes before returning me to the load screen. Of course I can just kill the game and reboot. It's not good for grouping when the zoning crashes really mess with the group's ability to stay together.

MY experiences.

I have VERY VERY bad ATT DSL 1.1 meg download.... very bad.. Whenever my girlfriend is on her computer downloading videos or watching youtube.. I will zone crash 70+% of the time. IF she is not using her computer I will never zone crash. I bet others are experiencing the same thing. Perhaps it's an issue of people with low bandwidth trying to zone when they are using up a good portion of their bandwidth. Perhaps the EMU is too sensitive to timing out on users who are zoning when they have low bandwidth at the time.

Anyway those are my experiences. I have tried everything listed here. What it comes down to is when my girlfriend is using bandwidth on her computer I zone crash.. when shes not i NEVER do.


CHEERS

I am now all of a sudden crashing over 50 percent of the time when I zone. Just freezes and I have to control/alt/delete out of eq.

I had developed the "no server select screen" at login just recently and it seems to have fixed itself for the most part. Still happens but I can usually get in pretty fast now. But since that has gone away, actually just today out of nowhere I am freezing like mad more than half the time I zone. After some research here I've tried some of the suggestions to no avail. What is going on and how does this just develop all of a sudden? This problem I see has many more subscribers than the no server select screen.

I just joined the server last week and have been having zoning crashes since the begining. I have played with the video settings, changed from window mode to full screen mode, checked refresh rates. Last night I tried playing without my protection software running and it seemed to zone OK, crashed once. I will need to play with it some more with the AV off to see if that is part of the problem.

I also have issues logging in. I usually have to spend 10-20 minutes trying to log in over and over. I sometimes get that my IP has been temporarily blocked or it just seems to time out and send me back to the user/pass screen.

I have loved the experience so far as I am an old time EQ player, it has been 7 years since I played last. I just hope to get over these bugs so I have more time to play [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pretty much ready to quit over these bugs now - it is ridiculous - takes about 30mins to an hour to get back on after a crash as well.
