Default Error 1017 9/10 times logging in.

Hey guys I think I know what my problem is, but I'd just like some confirmation. So I cannot get internet where I live for reasons, and so I have an unlimited data plan on my phone and tether my computer to my phone to get internet. This is sub-par I'm aware, but it beats no internet at all.

Anyhow...I was able to install EQ and go through the whole process of setting it up so it works on the P99 servers, and was able to get on, make a character and actually make it to Qeynos. When I tried going from north to south Qeynos however, the zoning took forever and then I crashed to login. Now 9/10 times when I try to log in to the server it never even gets to the character select and just gives me error 1017. When I do get there, it crashes loading the character into the game, and I'm guessing even if I did get in every time I try to zone I will get the same result.

I'm connected via a usb cable into a usb 3.0 port and my phone has full bars worth of signal. When I am able to get into the game the connection seems stable and I get 85 ms latency, the problem is getting on at all. I'm guessing there is nothing I can do about this and its just a matter of the servers not tolerating the packet loss and dropping me, and so I can't play unless I get a "real" connection? Any tips to the contrary would be appreciated. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
