Recent zone loading freezes, crashes, & failure to connect to server

[mythias]

It seems like all the symptoms that I have been having disappeared (knock on wood) after yesterday afternoon ... haven't had trouble yet

[EQBallzz]

I thought it was fixed for me also yesterday afternoon after applying the patch. Thing were working fine and I was zoning np until late in the evening..zoned into Sol A and locked up. Had to force close the game and the login issues started up again. Took about 10 minutes of the same errors and such trying to log back in before getting back in again.

Played all night tonight, switched chars a lot and zoned a lot, no problems at all, so I would say that something got fixed, very happy, thank you devs and/or whoever got this solved

Crashing during zoning? Having any other weirdness? 100% sure all of the files from the new patch went into the correct folder? (Sometimes depending on the program subfolders can not extract correctly.) I mean it's probably the AT&T issue again.. but never hurts to double check. I believe the pathing node changes effected a lot of zones and it might be that you are having issues loading into those zones if those files didn't get overridden properly. (Hell it could be server side for all I know.)

I have had this issue repeatedly and made a thread about it, here it is:
http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=249614

Rogean made a post a while ago about this same issue and requested trace routes, I found it searching for answers to this. I PM'd him if there was anything I could do to help pin down the problem but I haven't heard back. Here is his thread:
http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...t=trace+routes

Edit: He does mention in his post that around 8:30PM or 9:30PM central a lot of issues tend to occur with server select and zone crashing, I have definitely found this to be the case as that is my usual play time. If i play off hours on the weekend or log in super late at night I typically can log in first try and zone fine.

Edit #2: Here is Rogean's post from same thread, had said they thought they had the problem identified and could stop posting trace routes, but had given this potential solution instead. Unsure if this is still accurate as I'm not in the NYC region, but unsure if I route through there:

We got an update from GTT saying they've increased their peering in the NYC region. I'm not sure if this affects all providers or not though. So keep an eye on things tonight. IF you start having issues, please run WinMRT for several minutes (Get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr/files/Latest/) and post the results here. When using WinMRT please direct it at project1999.com, and when making the forum post, post it using the same internet connection you ran WinMRT from so I can pull your ip address from the post (The data center needs this information).

Played last night with no issues. Well other than crashing when I camp most of the time but I have always had that problem and just live with it. HooRay!

[phiren]

Crashing while zoning occasionally = classic EQ experience

Crashing while zoning 90% of the time, not being able to see servers on server select screen, = problem

This thread was specifically for AT&T users who were all having massive problems.

I had great success last night, zoned a lot, swapped a few toons. 100% normal (and by 100% normal, of course it crashed 1 time the whole night).

But the MAJOR issue seems to be resolved
