random crashing while zoning, higher ms, blank server select!?!

[Frudrura]

Well. It seemed to work. I restarted, then for probably 5 zones in a row, there was no linkdeath. But, then it started happening again. And like other people, it seems to happen when the server is at peak hours, not before.

How old is your computer Frudrura? I was playing on a 2009ish second hand laptop up until last year and never had a ram problem, and it wasn't by any means a gaming laptop.

Have you disabled everything before playing? Tried turning off things like your firewall? Definitely try a wired connection if you can, that's the best bit of advice I can give to anyone who's struggling with connectivity issues.

I'd guess that zoning into a populated zone like EC would make it worse/more likely to crash?

It is relatively new, i5 4670k, windows 8.1, 8gb ram. I am on a wireless connection though. My Dad might help me get a wired connection to my room soon so maybe that will clear things up. Just did some optimization using inSSIDer to find best channel for my router to use. I am not sure if this will help, but you are right the wired connection is probably the best thing to use.

Having same issue. Last night I was in Kurns tower and had to quickly zone out to not die, when zoning back in it was stuck on the loading screen. Had to re-open eqgame.

Every time I camp out with my bard, the game crashes. I have 7 other toons I play on but only crash with the bard.

Any ideas?

That happens to me too! 9/10 times I crash out when I camp. I play on a Windows 8.1 laptop and sometimes on my Windows 7 desktop. Both using WinEQ2 newest version. Both computers have the new i5 and i7 processors with decent graphics cards.

The interesting part is, They said they may have fixed the issue last server patch, ironically i had all last weekend off and i played all day Saturday and Sunday with not one single zone crash ect. server select was good ect. Starting this past Monday 15-JUNE-15 I started crashing again, i log on around 8pm EST time. almost every time i zone, no matter the zone i freeze, group tells me i go LD because i am in Vent so they can tell me that, so i close out re log, no server select...get in past server, no characters found and or spell list out of date, after a few times trying i am in...zone just fine then die and freeze while coming back to bind point.

Now i played all this week because i am fool and love this game so much i tried to "let it go" like frozen, but its has been the most annoying week of my EQ P99 life, crash after crash while zoning, no log on servers ect. I has a sad, but I am at a loss on what to do. I have two different clients ( drag and drop folder version, and ISO version ) and three machines, laptops also all do the same thing, i also can log in from work and it happens so i do not think its something with my set up or home internet.

END RANT.

I have the same issues...I have reinstalled, opened firewall, opened router, changed ports on router, tried direct connection to modem, uninstalled add-ons, deleted UI files, i dont know what else to do..has to be a patch issue, this PC hasn't had an issue till this latest patch :/

I am having the same issue. It is incredibly frustrating. Things have been running smooth for a year plus until this last patch.

Started having these issues recently in the past month. Very annoying. Zoning is a risk at this point. :/
