No Server List (see Galach's Edit for temp Fix)

[NameAccepted]

Hey guys, ive tried everything i could find to get my EQ working but ever since i upgraded my CPU to a I9 i cant seem to get the Server list to populate. ive tried restarting the computer and modem, flushing dns, getting a VPN, using WINEQ2 and nothing seem to work, any tips would be much appreciated. i would really like to start playing again.

Galach Edit:

FIX FOR NOW

I was able to get in by clicking CHAT button at the server select screen. This seemed to "update" the population lists, resulting in the P99 servers appearing in the list with realistic population numbers. Clicking Play Everquest from here resulted in successfully loading to char select and then into world.

I can log into the Server Select screen, but when I get there, no servers are showing up. It is just a blank list.

This usually means there is a network problem. Either your network is blocking port 5998 or your router may just be having issues that need to be corrected. If you live in a dorm or are playing from a public network, it is probably going through a proxy and that means they are most likely blocking port 5998, so you won't be able to play. If you are playing from home and have control of your internet connection, then the problem is probably either with your router/modem or with your PC. First, make sure that you don't have a firewall or any other security programs running that might block your connectivity in any way. Next, make sure you aren't forwarding port 5998 to any PCs on your network (this includes port range forwarding that would include port 5998 in the range). If not, next you want to try powering down your modem and router. Then power up your modem and wait until it gets a connection. Next, power up your router and wait for it to connect. Last, reboot your PC and try connecting to EQEmu again. If that still isn't working, then there is a good chance that you need to reset your router or router/modem back to factory defaults. Most modems have a sunken in button that you can hold down to reset it to defaults. Check your product documentation for how to do it. Once that is done, set up your router again and try connecting to EQEmu again. It should be working now, but if not, there may be an issue with the routing from your ISP or your router may just be going bad.

Failing that, you could use WinMTR to check packet loss with login.eqemulator.net

i think you just solved it. i think it was my anti virus software, turned it off and no problem logging in

[Ket]

I put in my password, hit connect, get sent to the server list - and it's empty. Ain't ever had that happen to me before. Tried a few times now, server list completely empty. Don't see any downtime messages, so I assume it's me.

Any ideas, nerd pals?

[VesperVapes]

Not just you same deal for me

[Cerendipity]

I have been playing fine since Green launch in Oct - now I have no servers on the list and I have changed nothing - I was playing this morning and no issues

[Badrice]

Mine just started doing this also, a 2nd account I was able to get in but not the main account.

[peburch]

Same issue. So far I've reset my router, manually opened 5998, and turned off my firewall. Nothing yet.

[legoblocke]

I have having the same issue. I was just playing about 2 hours ago and now the server list is empty.

[Badrice]

This just recently started happening today for me as well. Was fine an hour ago, logged out for dinner came back and now this is going on.

[MachoKinguuu]

Mine just did the same thing. I was in WC doing a camp for hours now. My screen went black so I closed the game to re-launch. Would not let me direct log in to Green Server. This is what my Server Select looks like. https://i.imgur.com/oCdzUva.png

[kent247]

having the same problem

[Shimmerdark]

Same Issue, this is new. Never experienced it before.

[eqravenprince]

Mine as well

[MasterCS]

Having the same issue. Anyone able to login?

[eqravenprince]

Just a blank server list is all I get

[Badrice]

So I may have found the problem and a solution, Windows defender updated at 5:13pm pst. I went into defender and added an exclusion for the Sony folder where EQ is held and rebooted. Mine is now working. Its under Defender >>> Virus Threat protection settings >> manage settings >>> exclusions. This is where you want to add your install folder to the exception. Reboot and give it a shot

[Mikesexy]

Had issue just now. Restarted PC fixed my problem.

[Grif]

Happened to me too, but I was able to get in using Quick Connect.

[Ket]

UPDATE: Works for me now. Everybody just calm the hell down.

It's an epidemic. Where is thy solution, EQ chums?

[Vanin]

That worked. Thanks you marvelous bastard.

[PabloEdvardo]

The server list isn't empty, there's just a bunch of empty LOCKED servers showing up for some reason. Try scrolling the server list.

[Albanwr]

It happened to me starting today. I just reinstalled the patch and it was fine.

[kingpinner]

I play on mac and this is happening to me. Any fix there? No windows defender on my computer lol.

[Olidaen_Delacroix]

Same issue. I tried the solution given with the exclusion but didn't work...

[keithjinternet]

I play on mac and this is happening to me. Any fix there? No windows defender on my computer lol.

I'm on a Mac too... no server list.

[Maggott]

Are the servers being updated or is it me. According to the Forum home page all servers are up. But when I try and log on it says all servers locked.

[exanimate]

Same issue, login with no servers visible. Have updated p99 files and also disabled windows defender, still nothing.

Same Issue

[ricoexo]

I was able to log in by going through a vpn.

[ibanezjs100]

Hard to believe that so many people would suddenly be having the same problem with their router blocking some port or another. This is not a local issue, but has to be on p99 side.

[Cbaci]

Yep, Mac ... server list jacked. I scrolled down, found green

[Pacus]

Add me to the list. I tried the Defender "cure" to no avail. Also tried QuickConnect to last server and was told it was unable to comply and was directing me to the server list, which is still blank.

[Algustus]

I'm having this issue right now.

[Isey]

Same. Was fine last night, gone this morning

[EisenGeist]

same issue, was fine yesterday,now no server list.

[BlackBellamy]

This issue looks to be ISP specific. I am unable to see any servers on Comcast, but my Verizon connection allows me to play fine.

[Kalypto]

Yeah Im kind of thinking the same thing. I did a fresh install and I tried the windows defender exclusion. Nothing yet.

[Tecmos Deception]

No evercrack jokes yet? NOT CLASSIC.

[EisenGeist]

i have verizon FIOS and my server list is blank.

[exanimate]

Tried a VPN, no resolution yet.

[exanimate]

Tried a VPN with one random IP so far, no fix... will try the other IP's now.

[Leopor]

Same here, no server list but worked fine just last night.

[Highjenks]

For me I also found that this was a Firewall issue. I disabled my firewall and was able to get the full list of servers as normal.

[Tecmos Deception]

For me I also found that this was a Firewall issue. I disabled my firewall and was able to get the full list of servers as normal.

For me, disabling firewalls didn't bring back the server list :(

Serves me right for ever logging out.

[DMN]

Not working on wf or landline for me.

[Tecmos Deception]

This issue looks to be ISP specific. I am unable to see any servers on Comcast, but my Verizon connection allows me to play fine.

Charter Spectrum showed no server list.

I tethered my old crappy laptop with verizon and saw the million LOCKED servers. But when scrolling down I then could find the real servers and get back online.

Hey /list people - now may not be a good time to swap players! Lol.


Wonder if this is related to the DDOS that caused problems for north american (and some other) players in Eve Online for the last 10 days.

[VexNemox]

No server list, worked just last night. This is not a local issue.

Also last night all those Legend servers or whatever were LOCKED.

Is P99 down for the count?

[nutkase27]

This issue looks to be ISP specific. I am unable to see any servers on Comcast, but my Verizon connection allows me to play fine.

If indeed ISP specific, can add Spectrum (Charter Communications) to the list.

[gnomishfirework]

Did you scroll down? I just had to scroll down, but I was getting the **Locked** server thing.

[Kennie]

eqemu shows p1999 servers up but my server list is blank as well.

[bporter721]

I cant see anything on my PC, but when i run the client on my mac, I see the long list of locked server and then see all the servers after scrolling down...

[Tecmos Deception]

Did you scroll down? I just had to scroll down, but I was getting the **Locked** server thing.

Yeah, when I got LOCKED servers I could scroll down to connect. But when I had no list at all, the scroll buttons were greyed out.

[EisenGeist]

disabled firewall, no change. server list blank.

[Benanov]

p99-middlemand still working like a charm

[nutkase27]

Creating an exception in Windows Defender worked for me, thanks. At first I was blaming Spectrum (Charter) Internet as well heh.

[symbiosisstarshine]

There was indeed a Windows update last night, and when trying to log in multiple times I had seen both the empty server list and the list of locked servers - the Green server is hiding among them.

Based on the previous comments about the firewall, I manually added eqgame.exe to the allowed list and was able to log in an play. I do find it odd that the format of the server list is different now i.e. lots of non-named locked servers, but other than that, things seem to be in order.

[Rizmage]

Same here - was playing fine - camped to log to another character, then had the campout bug, restarted game and no servers on list

[Savvah]

When I was finally able to retrieve the server list it seemed like there was a bunch of extra servers listed, the list was quite long, it almost seemed like insertion of verbose garbage into the file that's being retrieved, the green server was buried in the center of the list.

[VexNemox]

What process led you to "finally able to retrieve the server list"?

[Tecmos Deception]

If this is a windows or firewall issue, why does my laptop have a blank list when using my home internet but can connect on my phone's hotspot? No settings changed, but home internet gives blank server list, and hotspot gives tons of LOCKED "servers" but also the real servers and lets me connect.

[Rhambuk]

Long list of empty locked servers, i tried a few times then just hit enter for the hell of it and it went through no issue.

[Asteria]

We're going to have EQ DTs pretty soon if this problem remains!! :eek::o

PLZ SEND HAAAAALLP!! :(

Thank you for all that you do.

[randal.flagg]

Also here to necro this thread. No server list!

[VexNemox]

Okay a list just appeared, but selecting Green can not select to log in. Obviously there is work going on on the P99 end of things.

[Savvah]

Same here - was playing fine - camped to log to another character, then had the campout bug, restarted game and no servers on list Seems like what happened to me as well.

[Highjenks]

Spoke too soon... just did the same thing again and can't get in now. /shrug

[VexNemox]

List is gone again....

[PabloEdvardo]

It's obviously not an issue on our side because it's happening to a myriad of people at the same time.

[Kalypto]

Im going to try a VPN, are there any good free VPN's that dont need a credit card out there?

[Bowdyn]

Throwing my name on the pile. No server lst here either. Tried the exceptions and no go

Bowdyn

[exanimate]

I just logged on from another ip and all is swell. Used windscribe proxy and disabled it's built in firewall and got list to appear.

[Kennie]

Here's how I got in with the blank server list:

Click the admin button at the top right of the blank server list. It will timeout. Close out of the window and open it again, server list will now show the locked servers. Scroll down to find p1999, click and enter.

[VexNemox]

Okay this time the list came up and I was able to login useing the quick login to Green but when I did I got a blank character list with a human male using LUCLIN models....what is going on.

[Highjenks]

I am able to get in using EQemu launcher but If I use the bypass (like I normally do) I don't get the lists of servers. Do it this way didn't require me to disable any firewalls...etc. I don't know yet if this is a reliable way or not... really odd.

It is not reliable. I got in to the game, camped, and then tried to get back in and got the same blank list of servers.

[Kennie]

Quick login won't work you have to scroll down, find p1999 and select it.

[Kennie]

[VexNemox]

I had previously tried that and it actually grayed out selection buttons. However I did finally get in just now.

[firesyde424]

So I have been able to get different results by closing the client reopening the client. Sometimes I get no server list at all, other times I get a list of a ton of blank and locked servers but I can login to P99.

[sfsilencer]

Still no list for me. Anyone else still broken?

[Kalypto]

Still no list for me. Anyone else still broken?

Yeah im still locked out as well. I've tried everyones trick so far and nothing. Im playing around with using windscribe vpn and the admin button and every combination Ive read.

[Dorubbaga]

No list for me as of 10 am eastern.

[Dorubbaga]

Also cannot do the quick log in for blue. The button is not highlighted. Only allowed to log out.

[Linedead]

No list

[Mikesexy]

Yep tried all solutions. This started about 18hrs ago. I usually could reboot and fix the problem but not this morning.

[Blingy]

This issue looks to be ISP specific. I am unable to see any servers on Comcast, but my Verizon connection allows me to play fine.

I'm also on Comcast, can't see any screens. Might it be a local problem? I'm just outside Seattle. Might be a Western Washington issue? Possibly a west coast issue?

[Kalypto]

Finally got in.... I used Windscribe VPN, disabled windscribes firewall and I started the game using my shortcut on the desktop.... but I had to start it the normal way, not run as admin.

[gradyk]

Not working for me either- tried all the tricks.

[Tecmos Deception]

I'm also on Comcast, can't see any screens. Might it be a local problem? I'm just outside Seattle. Might be a Western Washington issue? Possibly a west coast issue?

I'm on a different provider and on the other side of the US and have the same issue with my home internet.

[SueChas]

Using AT&T. No list for me either.

[Blingy]

I'm on a different provider and on the other side of the US and have the same issue with my home internet.

Thanks Tecmos.

At least we can eliminate that as a potential issue.

[veryjiggly]

Had the same problem this morning, made an exclusion in my antivirus for EQ folder, then tried the trick with clicking the admin button that another poster suggested. click the admin button in the top right corner, wait for time out, X out of EQ, then re-open and it worked. Hope it works for you!

[Dorubbaga]

Here's how I got in with the blank server list:

Click the admin button at the top right of the blank server list. It will timeout. Close out of the window and open it again, server list will now show the locked servers. Scroll down to find p1999, click and enter.

Did this and still nothing, no servers or the quick log in highlighted.

[Leopor]

Same, tried all of the tricks in here to no avail. Comcast, East Coast.

[galach]

I sent a message to Rogean. I'm hoping he can fix it again soon.

OMG IM GLAD ITS NOT JUST ME lol

seriously though I have no server list I was like wtf? Glad its not just me hahaha =)

[Dorubbaga]

Thank you will try again in a 1/2 hour.

[Mattpearson]

I get all server locked when I go to server selection screen. and the server is not down its up with population on it... ? I am worried I have no idea what to do or try...

Anyone seen this before?

[dallasdirty]

Keep reloading and you will eventually get to a screen that says Status: Locked
Just scroll down and you're in!
No need to change all your settings

[dallasdirty]

Scroll down and you will see the available servers - there's over 500+ in Green atm

[SueChas]

Finally got in. Just kept logging out and then logging in. Took about 3 tries to get server list.

[Mattpearson]

I was able to get in even though it said locked on all servers... weird

[Issar]

Having the same issue. Looks like there are other reports on eqemulator.org

[Blingy]

Might be related but who knows.....I downloaded the new nVidia driver last night. Common sense is telling me the new driver and p99 connection issues have no relationship with each other but who knows.

I've rebooted my modem and router. Added the exception to my firewall. Now running p99 just locks up my system.

[Issar]

Either a blank list or all locked servers as well.

[Wretchedsimmons]

Yeah I feel like if all of us are having to perform magic tricks to get on then the problem isn't me so I'll just check back later.

[BlackBellamy]

I was unable to see any servers using Optimum, but Verizon was ok. Now Verizon has flaked out as well.

[Dorubbaga]

Still no list for me. Anyone else still broken?

Yes, Spectrum east coast

[Philipangoo]

I had this issue at first where I saw nothing but "Locked" servers. I scrolled down the server list and was able to find p1999 servers like 1/3 of the way down. Oddly, when I clicked the quick connect to Green button (connect to the last server you were on) it did not work.

[creekside]

Same for me, no server list.

[Zatiken]

I'm seeing the blank server list too. Tried disabling my firewall and all the other different tricks mentioned in this thread but still see only a blank list with the scroll buttons grayed out.

[Dorubbaga]

Going to try to reboot router.

[Philipangoo]

It must be affecting a large number of people because I can see the servers on the server list but cannot connect. Also each server is probably about 30% lower than its normal pop.

[jenko5030]

I'm getting this now too. Worked fine last night. I tried turning off modem/router for 10-15 minutes and I tried the Defender thing. I use Windows 7. I'm not sure if the person that posted that uses a different version(probably). I think I found the exclusion screen but it says just 'extensions'. I put in EQEmu(the folder where it's at) which doesn't seem right, and rebooted. Still doesn't work. Now I see that a bunch of other people are having the same problem so I don't know what to think.

[Lesot]

Friend can get in with a CPU restart.

[Wepow]

just got the game setup to try and cant get in here either

[galach]

I sent a message to Rogean. I'm hoping he can fix it again soon.

^^^^^

[Dorubbaga]

Going to try to reboot router.



Nope, still no servers and cannot page up or down.

[Dorubbaga]

^^^^^

We hope.

[SueChas]

Once you get to the "No server Screen" logout and immediately login. Kept repeating till you get server list.

[VexNemox]

Eventually got it. Not sure what is going on but if you get a blank list, log out and relog in. Rinse repeat til you get a list, someone above mentioned using the Admin button then logging out and back in to get the list. I did that at some point but also later got a blank list. Just keep trying until they fix whatever the issue is.

[grenmyr]

Cannot get in either.

[bricke75]

I see no server names but a long list of 'locked' under status.

[AenorVZ]

[BCPuma]

I'm in Canada on Telus. I use MacAfee, tried disabling Real Time Scanning and Firewall... Also confirmed no port forwarding on modem.

Played last night no problem.

Today just get blank list.

Tried Admin trick and no luck, still get blank list.

As so many people are having same problem in different areas and Internet providers and antivirus software, it must be an issue on P1999 end of things.

Look forward to a resolve later on.

[bradsamma]

Yup, it's all messed up.

Seems like you can sometimes get lucky for certain periods of time but then everything goes down again.

I contacted McAfee for customer assistance, they found it was not McAfee, Firewall or Router. I also run Malware Bytes and it turns out that it was causing my problem... Malware Bytes has all required files in Excluded List, but still was blocking it. Maybe Malware Bytes did update last night that changed something.

So if you run Malware Bytes too, try disabling it and running EQ, see if it fixed it.

Worked for me.

[PabloEdvardo]

All these "workarounds" are just red herrings. You will sometimes get lucky and get a server list or get in.

We're now getting a list of invalid server entries -- looks like a bunch of IP addresses mixed with a dyndns hostname. I suspect an improper config.

[evoroot]

Seems the server list is ingesting data from some file at an incorrect point. The top hundred entries are all random octets from some IP addresses, rather than server names. The population numbers are all the same very large number. I also spotted dyndns in the column where the servernames are displayed. Anywhere there would be a proper server name, it showed LOCKED. I did perform the windows defender exclusion / reboot method with no change in success. Clicking Play on a locked server resulted in client freeze/crash.

I was able to get in by clicking CHAT button at the server select screen. This seemed to "update" the population lists, resulting in the P99 servers appearing in the list with realistic population numbers. Clicking Play Everquest from here resulted in successfully loading to char select and then into world.

[Karanis]

Evoroot, the hero Green needed.

[Ranarius]

I'm having the same issue at 9:36am. On the website it says they are up with 500ish people logged in, but when I try to log in green doesn't even show up and several others show "locked"

[marktheshark]

@evoroot

Thanks for doing all the ground work. Works like a charm. Appreciate it.

I had the no servers listed at all. Now I am getting what looks like IP address, then scroll down and find the servers, but they are locked. Tried to log into last server (blue) and nothing. Restarted and then tried to log into blue (locked) and was in time kicked back to log in screen. Will keep trying.

[Mattpearson]

OK, I read the thing about "chat" button and it worked thanks!

Any suggestions? hit the little admin chat button in top corner of server select screen
Heard it forces an update

Seems the server list is ingesting data from some file at an incorrect point. The top hundred entries are all random octets from some IP addresses, rather than server names. The population numbers are all the same very large number. I also spotted dyndns in the column where the servernames are displayed. Anywhere there would be a proper server name, it showed LOCKED. I did perform the windows defender exclusion / reboot method with no change in success. Clicking Play on a locked server resulted in client freeze/crash.

I was able to get in by clicking CHAT button at the server select screen. This seemed to "update" the population lists, resulting in the P99 servers appearing in the list with realistic population numbers. Clicking Play Everquest from here resulted in successfully loading to char select and then into world.

This is a working Fix for now. Rogean is aware of the issue and will fix it when he gets some free time.

also not able to log in. when i log into server select i get a TON of 'servers' mostly just numbers, and a few servers that show locked/down.

[Mignart]

Getting same as above poster. Weird?

[Ganjar]

All locked and Down??

Hit the Chat button and see if that fixes it.

thanks evoroot

Hit the Chat button and see if that fixes it.

I had the exact same issue (tons of servers that were just numbers with huge numbers of "players" listed, blue and green being listed as Locked etc.) and this fixed it. Thanks!


edit: not working now. It now "times out" when I hit chat. Still ridiculous amount of servers (dead)

[Airick]

Hit the Chat button and see if that fixes it.

Also worked for me.

[Qcmagican]

When I hit chat I get auto-connected to this BeanzeQuest server, can't find the P99 Green in the list..

[Bluedarksun]

Chat button worked for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

[MalystryxVoF]

chat button didn't work. admin button did finally after restarting 3 times. am in now :)

[jgranai]

Hit the "Chat" button & it fixes the server list for me (still shows other servers, but not locked)

[JDFriend99]

Today I got all the same BS ip address stuff like the emu was hacked.

Also last night I was never on Beanzquest, and my login says login to last server Beanzquest, I say its that guy shut his server down and block his attacks.

[craig]

Okay I got back in. The chat button / admin button "fixes" the server list but it is not consistent. I usually get the "timeout" error after hitting chat or admin and have to restart. Maybe 1 / 10 times it gets the game working.

[jgranai]

Click "CHAT" if you are having issues logging in

[bradsamma]

All these "workarounds" are just red herrings. You will sometimes get lucky and get a server list or get in.

We're now getting a list of invalid server entries -- looks like a bunch of IP addresses mixed with a dyndns hostname. I suspect an improper config.

Bingo. That is exactly what I'm thinking.

[Uuruk]

Been sitting in chat for 3 hours no ones showed up. Is this working as intended?

[NameAccepted]

So I may have found the problem and a solution, Windows defender updated at 5:13pm pst. I went into defender and added an exclusion for the Sony folder where EQ is held and rebooted. Mine is now working. Its under Defender >>> Virus Threat protection settings >> manage settings >>> exclusions. This is where you want to add your install folder to the exception. Reboot and give it a shot

sadly this didnt work for me, all my problems are back.

[NameAccepted]

Anyone confirm if it's fixed?

Not fixed for me :(

sadly this doesnt work for me because it just a blank sever list. all i get is a time out error

[Kore]

Same, tried all of the tricks in here to no avail. Comcast, East Coast.

So I was also having this issue on Comcast on the westcoast, However I found a fix that worked flawlessly for me.

I just connected to my personal VPN and it worked.

[Lothisu]

I can't explain this but I just started having this happen yesterday. I use Spectrum for internet, at my house I have never had a problem and was logged in yesterday before going over to my friends. Got to my friends and tried logging in and kept getting a blank server screen over and over and over again. The few times it'd finally populate usually led to getting a repatch error when trying to login. The weird thing is my friend also has spectrum for internet. This morning I decided to try logging in through my mobile hotspot and it resolved the issue.

I can't explain why I can login at my house but not my friends when we have the same internet provider...

Also Comcast down south, vpn fixes or tether, main internet without doesn't work.

So is it a internet provider issue with some sort of firewall they have blocking the game or is it a p99 file issue?

[Kore]

Yeah, Thats what I thought, very possible its a IP block or blacklist some reason. Who knows maybe daybreak getting pissy and threw the ip at isps or something.
