Blank after character Select.

[cobykoby]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if you could help me out with this, I was playing perfectly fine on my Bard last night when I died and Everquest proceeded to lock up.

So I restarted and apparently I'm unable to log in on any of my characters, "Dyrn, Ryld" etc. I figured I'd try another server and see if it was possible to get past the character screen and get in game, and apparently it is, This is the only server that I'm having trouble with (and the only bloody one I want to play!)

Any ideas? think i'll need a reinstall? Do I need to keep my character files if i'm doing so? (I'd assume it's all saved on the server anyway but who knows)

Thank you in advance.

Go ahead and try a reinstall. Rename/replace the files as required for this server (see here) and remember to change the eqhost.txt file to redirect to Host=eqemulator.net:5998

And never click EverQuest.exe, only eqgame.exe.

Well, ended up uninstalling(and making sure there was nothing left over) and reinstalling again, replacing the files and whatnot and giving it another go.

turns out I again get stuck after trying to log in a character, I'm really not sure where I'm going wrong here, i reinstalling twice, I'm able to log into other servers, and it was working just fine the other day.

Curiously i've had a look around my EQ folder and found in DBG ...

Maybe this is a bit more useful. Who knows, I'm just desperate to get back in game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

*edit* had this just a minute ago. because of the time out I got before, I decided i'd take my laptop to the router insted, and that maybe wireless was creating an issue, and this time I got....

I'm not sure if it's my computer having an issue or it's the server having an issue with me loading in characters now..
