New Player - Kicked when "Entering World"

[Gigantor]

Hey all,

I am a new player (well old player returning after a loooong time) and have all the credentials for the game. I've got clean installs and followed the wiki.

When I make a character and hit "Enter World" the EGGame freezes for about 8 minutes then unfreezes back at the login screen. It does create the character afterwards, but I can't actually log into the game. This booting to login happens when I try and log onto these created characters as well.

I've tried making different characters, reinstalling, different servers, updating all drivers, turned off firewall, use WinEQ2, tried to resize my window in the eqclient file, in windows xp SP2 compatability mode, its running on core "0" and running as an admin.

I have an Intel i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s) on a Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI mobo running windows 10. I tried to disable the turbo boost thing in bios select but it fucked my pc up and had to reset my bios afterwards. I dont think i can turn off any overclocking that may be going on. My bios are all set on auto and optimized settings atm.

Im at a loss and keep sinking hours a night trying to get this working to play! Any help would be so welcome.
