Why Can't We Zone

[quido]

Why the fuck is it so incredibly difficult to zone/load now? What is it that's changed in the last 6 months or so that makes this fail half the time? The server handled this near flawlessly for the longest time, even with a larger population like at the start of Kunark, but something in the last half a year or so has made this problem excruciating.

What the fuck has changed?

I zone just fine, usually less than 10 seconds, on a shitty laptop. Not sure what's going on with you

This ^ Only my desktop, and it isnt shitty.

I was fine for years. I don't understand what has changed here - same install and everything. Other people experience the same problems it seems.

Anyone get the cycle where server login hangs, then the next time you try you have no characters, then the next time you try it says you have the wrong spellfile, etc etc? Seriously, this shit is fucking retarded.

Server seems to be creating more issues from a source perspective than they're fixing. Try bard snaring a fleeing sowed sarnak in LOIO and watch him teleport all over the place. What the fuck?

I've logged into blank char screens on occasion, never enough to really be a serious issue, wrong spellfile? Don't believe ive ever gotten that one.

Havent had any issues logging in this year at least. Interesting though since apparently quite a few people have the same issue

[Faerie]

It probably has something to do with Nihilum.

[Rhambuk]

I hear that for those with login issues to blue 99, red99 works perfectly...

[Faerie]

^About time, if you ask me.

[Rhambuk]

It's a recruitment trick from nihilum for total red domination. They cherry pick bluebies then take away the ability to log into blue, forcing them to join red.

Give it up already reds!

I guess you should talk to Arzak about this, Skippy :/

Exact same issues have been happening to me within the last month or so. You're not alone Jeremy! ;\

[myriverse]

I've had those problems since I joined 6 months ago or so, but I just attributed it to my often lousy connection. I have fewer problems when I log in earlier in the day.

If you have not, try WinEq2. Had the same issues(blank char screen, wrong spell file)..I remember it was somewhat confusing to setup but once it was setup my zoning was fixed.

You leave your client open for a long time? About every weird error you named I get. But it only happens if I stay afk in EC Tunnel all day at work for example, get home, relog, then its 1 out of every 3 zones is a crash, black character screen, blank server screens. usually closing the patcher and relaunching it solves most of it, if not a cpu restart usually. Still to the day, like day 1 of p99, leaving my client open a long time or alt tabbing memory leaks my cpu, but my cpu sucks

I had this exact same issue Jeremy. Reboot your router. It wont fix it competely..but it made it about 80% better.

[Kagatobs]

When others post about this it's completely ignored. But when Jeremy the conspiracy king posts about it then finally people actually respond. Why?

[DOPE]

Today I've crashed almost every single time I've zoned. This is brutal.

[DOPE]

Okay, someone in-game gave me a fix for the zone crashing and so far it's worked like a charm! (have zoned successfully 5 or 6 times in a row and counting!!)

EQ Options > Display > Dropdown menu on the top right corner "Loading Screen" change it from "Loading Art" to NONE

Hope it helps!

^^^^

Just did what Dope recommended. 10+ zones no crashes.

FINALLY a solution. Ty
