Login Problems

[Albane]

Anyone else having any trouble logging on to the server? I have tried a few things with no luck and it looks like the online population is going down at this moment, so perhaps it is a Login server issue?

[Pudge]

yes. i was about to make a post. "an unknown error" and i have been watching the population slowly decline on both servers

Logging in now. Took about 15 tries.

This shit again... ugh.

[limit]

yeah this is still getting me a lot... drop a lot when zoning and then can't log back in.

I just came to these forums to see if this problem is happening again. Yesterday, the issue was resolved after about 10-15 minutes. Hopefully it gets resolved shortly.

I cannot connect to any of the EMU servers in the list.

I'm having the same unknown error pop up

Close EQ (all the way, aka no eqgame.exe running)

Open a command prompt (google it if you don't know)

Type ipconfig /flushdns , hit enter

Retry.

Fails?

ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew
->hit enter
-> let it do its thang, give it a min
-> retry

Fails?

Open a web browser after the above steps and close it.
-> Retry

Fails?

Reboot, retry.

Else? Patience :P or try doing it in order, smart guy.

You can also try restarting Window DNS services, not interested in Googling these for your specific version of Windows either but the truth is out there...

Sometimes and with other games like League of Legends or even Rift, I noticed that generating a little HTTP traffic after clearing DNS cache or resetting your IP works. I don't know the 1's and 0's cuz I'm usually too busy playing after...

[Malevz]

I haven't played yet today, it hurts, make the bad error go away

[Tassador]

Albane - try going to options restoring the default settings then hit next and restore the other default setting.

/flushdns worked for me, thanks Nirgon

Guess I got lucky cuz now I can't log in again and flushing isnt helping

[Nirgon]

Try all the steps dawg.

do a taskkill /im eqgame.exe /f

That should nail any lingering EQ shits hiding in the back ground if there are any. Otherwise, word is bond with list above.

Unplugging modem for 2mins, plugging back in and chilling another 2mins before trying anything might work too.

Sometimes its just goofball ISP related.. nothing you can really do there, even if you call em on specifics like this.

[Albane]

I like the way you try and blame the end user for the an obvious server problem. Any chance you work for Cisco?

I would spend time troubleshooting the problem on my end, if it didn't happen to at least 20 other people on these forums and who knows how many more that don't post here. All within the last hour.

[Nirgon]

I'm not saying its YOU personally. I'm saying it could be ISP or data center related.

And in that case, you can submit a case with the ISP (data center will ask for your badge ID or something) and the resolution will be just as fast as if you had just waited.

I'm trying to supply some ideas that work in my general experience, sorry if it didn't work for you dawg.

[Nirgon]

I think this is actually very widespread right now. I don't suggest logging out if you're in right now :P for the time being.

[Steaks]

albane , epic dude

hilariously right too

I appreciate you trying to help with the problem. I wasn't trying to bash you, just making a joke.

I'll never recover from it
