Hotel ISP Login Issues?
 

So i read that some people seem to have issues finding the servers on the log in screen if they are using a hotel connection.

Why is this? I can hit every single other game, website, etc using this hotel connection but with P99 it's janky as hell. What is so different about P99?

UDP

wtf does UDP even mean?

It's not TCP like the majority of the internet:

Use a VPN or your hotspot if the hotel is blocking UDP / non standard port ranges.

I've tried VPN, I've tried hotspot. No difference/same results. And again, I can log in 4 Eve Online accounts simultaneously, WoW, Warhammer private server with no issues. P99? 45 minutes to get logged in only to get disconnected on first zone line I cross.

If you crash on zoning/camping try setting compatibility mode on eqgame.exe to xp sp2 or sp3.

Other games don't matter - they're TCP so packets are resent if they're not acknowledged. EQ doesn't do that - they figure the missed packets aren't "important" because mostly it's positional data. It's from an era where we were all on dial-up. I started playing with a 33.6 and the upgrade to 56k was amazing. A whole mp3 in under 10 minutes!
