Half the time I zone now I get a massive load time 2+ miins. About 20% of the time it will take 5+ mins and i just kill the client cause its obviously not working. Then when i try to log back in I get "unknown error" for 3-5 mins when try to join server.

Not saying that's not happening to you, but I've yet to have a zone take more than 5-8 seconds, although this machine is very fast and the main drive is an M2 SSD running on PCI. So either the problem is tied to particular zones I haven't gone to, or it's something on your end. My first guess would be whether you're running short on mem, and some zones don't cross the threshold but others do.

My hard drive is dying on my three week old computer? Prolly not. Something is wrong with the server/code/bug from latest patch. Try to zone a bunch of different times different places and you'll see.

Did you install in a root hard drive folder?

etc? If not, try that.
Failing that, put your install on a USB and try a fresh install and see if the same thing happens? Start the process of seeing what it is and isn't <3
EDIT: Also, if you're playing on a wireless connection - try plugging an ethernet cable in, however inconvenient that might be, just to test it. I found back when I was living elsewhere that my connectivity to the server was definitely hampered sometimes by wireless.

Well I finally decided to sit there for 5+ mins of it essentially locking up when changing zones. Eventually it shows a black screen, and then a couple mins after that it boots you back to the account loggin screen. When you put in your loggin info, you will log into a completely blank sever select screen. There is nothing there. This is happening constantly and only started happening after the patch. I'm using a cable modem with no router or any other bullshit with nothing but the titanium install and running it under windows XP in compatibility mode. it's a couple week old 2k gaming rig.
There is an obviously problem here and it's not on my end.

I've had my same normal, roughly 10-15 second load times I've always had, before and after the patch. It seems like everyone else that has responded to you is also not having any abnormal loading times.
Which would, unfortunately most likely make it an issue on your end.

You might just wanna listen to people telling you its on your end, man. I've also logged in on three different machines since the patch and its the typical 3-4 sec load times. Just because you have a beast machine that's new doesn't mean something cannot be wonky on your end. You almost seem to be taking offense to people who are just letting you know that other people are not experiencing the problems you are. No need in that, just look into your end and go from there.

I will admit this is kinda of an odd bug. I've never heard of anybody taking 2 to 5 minutes to load a zone. Are you absolutely certain this started only after the current patch? The only thing I can think of is that somehow one of the files got messed up and it's taking extra time to process it or skip the error checks. That or the the hard drive is acting up.
If it was the servers I think more people would be affected by this problem as it would be relayed to clients. Considering I've not experienced this issue I doubt it's the servers. That doesn't mean these issues aren't happening to you, but it could be on your end. I'll ask around in game and see if anyone else is getting this issue.

Two questions I have -
1. Are you running the base titanium install with only the p99 patch? I noticed on my newer PC I had a lot of crashes/long zone times when I installed the EQ HD texture pack on the wiki.
2. You said you're plugged directly into your cable modem, as in, getting a public IP from your ISP? If so, put a cheap router inline... I've seen it a few times for whatever reason Windows firewall/integrated NIC/whatever couldn't deal with that and caused all sorts of wacky issues.

I noticed every once in a great while zoning taking a considerably longer time(45 secs- 1min), but nothing like this and never to the point of essentially booting/crashing me. i usually don't play during primetime hours usually which makes me think that could be a factor.

Xruptor,
I think everyone is annoyed because they’ve asked for his gaming specs several times and he’s not really answering any other questions.
My thoughts are
he might just be embarrassed because he says he has a high end gaming rig and in reality doesn’t, so doesn’t want to give the specs,
Or
he honestly doesn’t know where to find them and also embarrassed about that.
Or
He’s trolling.
I hope it’s embarrassment and that he can get past it so we can help him.

I've been zoning perfectly fine for this last hour or two and intentionally zoned many more times than usual. 6-8 sec zone times, which has normally been the case in th past. Nothing has changed since yesterday on my PC. So this either some local internet issue or some specific zoning bug. Then again, there are only one-third as many people on green right now as there was yesterday when I was playing, so jury still not completely reached a verdict.

It is happening to me too. on both my desktop and my laptop. I don't get the unknown error, but I cannot log into any characters that are in the same zone as the toon that crashed or timed out when zoning. It used to happen occasionally and I just let it go as an emulated server bug... but it's getting worse and worse to the point that I can't play a lot of the time.

I have noticed long load/zoning times in the last day or two.
In particular, trying to play around 8:30PM CST last night I encountered an empty server select when logging into the game, but would log out and go back in and all servers would show (this happened again when I had logged out to cook dinner and came back to play). In game while zoning to NRO from Oasis, and again to EC took a couple minutes each time.
I have an NVMe SSD, i7 8th Gen processor, and a modern GTX video card. I am running the game on Windows 10 with WinEQ
I suspect it's network related.

I played during the classic era on a PC with FAR less specs than I have now, on friggen dialup, and I didn't have this issue.
This is NOT classic experience, and needs to be fixed, or at least examined to determine what the cause is. I've worked in PC and internet support for 30 years, having the same issue connecting to one server on two separate machines on the same network which can easily connect to another server hosted by the same IP indicates the problems is not on my network, or my PCs.

Ouch, no wonder i never called pc support. If you really knew support, you would know that if its a client/server app and the majority can connect to the SAME server, but YOU cant, sounds like it's on your end. PC / Network / Router / ISP / the list keeps going on.

I never said it was a server problem, I said it was not a problem on my end. There is a WHOLE INTERNET between my network and the servers I am connecting to.
Turns out this was likely an ISP problem because it vanished without a trace. I made no changes to my PCs or my network configuration. So something in the way my traffic was being routed changed. That's my ISP.

A lot of you guys are kinda being dicks yourselves, if you ask me. You didn't, but then again IDGAF. He's not the first to claim 'ermagherd it's teh servers!' and he won't be the last.
Everyone, including him, is making a bunch of blanket statements. It can be a server problem and no that wouldn't necessarily happen to everyone, it could be an combination of problems or conditions on either end or in the pipes.
OP -
There are two sources of time delay during zoneing - (a) disk load speed issues, and (b) internetz speed.
Run a speed checker. Ping the P99 servers and see what your latency is.
Can you stream video on your comp without a lot of buffering?
Is your RAM full?
Pop the task manager open and watch what's happening with disk IO, CPU util and network IO while it pauses.
*Completely* remove P99 and re-install.
I used to have that issue.
I installed WinEQ 2 and never had any other issues since then.
For the record, the game is installed on a SSD and I have an "alright" computer gaming wise.
Looking at your current ping of 298 MS... It's no wonder.
gaspard281

Looking at your current ping of 298 MS... It's no wonder.
Yeah that caused me some concern as well, and is what made me start thinking this had nothing to do with my PC or network, and that it was a traffic routing problem. I didn't have addresses to try tracerts to the actual server addresses so I could only do blanket extended ping tests to check for packet loss. I never got any loss, but something was up in the route my data was taking.
It appears to have fixed itself so whatever traffic routing issue my ISP was having is gone now. My ping is under 100 ms, and zoning is no longer an issue.
vossiewulf
12-16-2019, 04:47 PM
Although I don't know the code, I have to assume each zone is its own process, its own world. When you zone there is a call made by your current zone to some kind of central switchboard and that makes the call to the next zone, handing off to it your player object and telling the new zone which zone line you're crossing and where on that line you're crossing.
For some reason, your client isn't receiving the response from the new zone, and so your client sits waiting for the response timeout, which I'd guess is 60 seconds.
Lots of things can cause that from code/data issues to all sorts of network problems. Frequently when you see either perfect success or total failure, that indicates one server in a pool is in a bad state but the rest are fine, but for some reason the bad one is still passing the LTM's health check, so it's luck of the draw whether you hit the bad one.

I've had a few times (2-3) in the past couple of months I have zoned with a very long load time. Nothing frequent or repetitive.
I think most can agree on latent connections that you will have a little trouble with connecting. IE seeing a blank servers list. My gut is this sometimes can be with zoning too.
Usually when I am on a latent connection or even a saturated one I start to see issues. For example if Im downloading a game update in steam at almost full bandwidth sometimes I have a hard time seeing the server select till the download is done. Mostly in logging in but maybe with zoning and I've never noticed since it is generally fast no matter what. SSD and general good connection etc.
But, check to see what your system is doing at the time outside of EQ and if it's downloading a bunch of stuff or streaming music etc while your running EQ, test cutting that off when you have problems and see if it improves in the moment. It may be network related etc.

This issue seems to be related to server population. Every time I've seen it statrt happening -- including tonight, it's prime time USA. There is something wrong with the server/local network. I only have about 90 ping to the server and am not dropping a bunch of packets. The server is just dumping my client for some reason. I'd like to know why. it works fine outide of primetime hours, then turns into complete dogshit when they arrive.

I have an SSD. I experience the same problem but it is less often. Id say about 5% of the time it takes about 2+ min to zone and maybe 1% of the time it is 5+ minutes. After waiting for a minute now I usually just force the client to close and login again.
No idea why it does that but it is rare enough for me I just ignore it.

You not 'losing packets' and having a good ping does not prove anything definitively, other than you seem to have a functional internet connection. How did you verify you weren't losing packets, and what did you ping and how many times? Even if you have the worlds best internet connection this does not prove or even raise to near-certainty "that the issue is either with the code of the server itself or the hardware." Then again, it doesn't disprove it either. Need more info. What is your computer doing when it is pausing between zones? Use task manager to see cpu, disk, internet. Bring up system events log and see if you see anything. Turn off all your AV stuff. Look at your router settings and make sure you don't have any weird port blocks or NAT or anything. Try playing at a completely different time than you normally do. Go to a friends house or public computer and load P99 and play from their connection and with their hardware and see if you still get the issue.
Above all, how do you reconcile the fact that thousands of people have been playing non-stop for years, and yet most people do not have the issue you report?
Hope this basic knowledge of debugging issues helps.

But then as i zoned again my game stoped responding for a while until i closed it and back to no servers>try flushing dns> doesnt work> keep trying>works after 5/6 mins but only to select server screen when i actually sellect a server it says " and unkown error occurred while trying to join the server"

I've been zoning perfectly fine for this last hour or two and intentionally zoned many more times than usual. 6-8 sec zone times, which has normally been the case in th past. Nothing has changed since yesterday on my PC. So this either some local internet issue or some specific zoning bug. Then again, there are only one-third as many people on green right now as there was yesterday when I was playing, so jury still not completely reached a verdict.
I have seen in the past where ISP route or something causes problems similar to the server select being blank, and login unknown errors, I usually download a free VPN and try that and it works, alternatively you could try to use a mobile phone hotspot or tether to get by/troubleshoot if a different ISP sees a better result. Good luck!

Atom, you should try a VPN for a month.
I installed vyprvpn and it went ok tonight.
Ping around 130, no zone crash and no blank server at login page...
Also I don't know what is wrong with Hashire...

This sounds to me like a problem with an internet connection. Similar problems have been solved by utilizing a VPN.

I'm going to save OP some rant time by letting both of you know you're useless stupid assholes for not offering this advice sooner and for not suggesting specific VPNs and explaining the pricing plans. In detail. Jerks.

Given that both of those replies were their first and so far only replies to the OP on this topic, how does that make them "stupid assholes" and "jerks"?
Or, did I miss a /sarc?
Yeah, I think I missed a /sarc. Nevermind. Please continue.

Same bat time, same bat server, same bat bull shit going on. What the hell is going on with this server?

Dude, the problem is on your end. You are having these issues, and very few others are. If even one of us is doing ok, and I'll go out on a limb and say that way more than that are, it's probably not the server.

All evidence suggests otherwise.

These types of zoning issues have been with P99 since the start. They normally crop up after patches, and typically only affect a minority of users at any given time. It seems to be network related. I've had it happen to me at various times, as have many other users. Usually these issues eventually clear up up on their own, although that doesn't help you in the here and now.

Why did this dogshit of a thread get necro’d? Nobody else is having this problem. Wipe the tentacle hentai from your 2K triple bogey AAA plus max impressario system or find another game to ask for help on then shit on the people who try and help you.

<shrug> I have the P99 Install plus latest patch installed all by itself on an SSD drive in an 11GB partition. My zone times are less than 3 seconds. My log in time is less than 3 seconds. I'm running W10 as well, and I'm on ATT UVerse - not the fastest ISP.
