You know whats even stranger? I didn't change anything in my set up and I cant log into EQ at all. Nothing new, nothing at all changed, no Bio's changes, software, nothing, and I cant log in to P99 servers (mostly) anymore. ANy ideas? im not using AMD Im using Intel, a 6600K..very odd, but i am using a Gigabyte mobo

When you open Task Manager and go to Performance tab and click CPU, what does base speed say? If it's over 4.2 GHz then that's the problem. If it's not over 4.2 then you have something else causing your issue.

Im running a INTEL Core I7 - 6700k @ 4.0 GHz and have been for nearly 8 years (coming this fall it would be 8 years on this system setup.). memory is DDR4 - 32GBs - 3000MHz which hasn't changed in nearly 8 years, the graphics card is the same one Ive been using for 4ish years, hard drive is the same, same internet company and speed. Nothing has changed. I can log into Grand Creation Server and serval others just not P99 ones. very odd.

There must be more than one way to cause the same error, so the fix for most of us in this thread won't apply to you. Do you know if there's a tool for p99 users to do a scan of files to verify they have the same file hash as what the servers expect us to have? If not I'd recommend a fresh install to a different folder and patching it with the files from the p99 setup instructions to see if that fixes a file corruption problem.
