Blue: fine, Red: perpetual 1017

Widan · #1 08-14-2014, 10:37 AM

I just reinstalled and can connect to the blue server fine everytime, but when I try to play on red I just get a 1017. Are there extra files I need for the red server? I didn't see anything listed on the install guide and I cannot remember if I need to do something different.

this is a goddamn injustice. no wonder why red pop is so low all the time.

I know it used to be a thing that you had to connect to blue (after installing) before you could connect to red, but after that first time it should be fine connecting to red every time.

Have you tried any of the non-P99 servers in the list? "The Hidden Forest" etc? Just to see if it isolates just the red server as the issue.

Good thought. Just tried it and connected to EZ server and THF with no problems as well, but still no luck with red.

1017 is always a connectivity problem. Some router, somewhere along the route from your machine to R99 is timing out.

Is red not hosted in the same location as the blue server?

it is. 1017 is a server side issue, aka the server thinks ur chars stuck in game somewhere

Does this shed any light on anything? I tried pinging that IP and didn't have any problems though. I also tried plugging my computer directly into the modem but no luck either, so I guess it's not a wireless router problem.

I hate playing on blue [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

make a brand new eqemu account from scratch, then try using that new account to play on red with.

Well with the new account I'm getting a different error it looks like when trying to connect. Dunno.

Also, I checked all the stuff people who couldn't connect to both servers found to be causing issues i.e. overclocking, hardware updates etc, but this is the same computer I used less than a year ago to connect to red and blue and nothing has been changed, except my ISP. It's definitely an internet issue, just don't know if it's one I can do something about
