![]() Related Patch Note History
See http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...highlight=1018 On February 14, 2010, a patch rolled out that included these two notes:
On March 9, 2010, a patch rolled out that included this note:
Problem Description I have two accounts that will experience this problem at random times from any computer, IP, or location even when the characters are never logged into the world. I have tried every "solution" presented on the forums from other users such as re-installation of EQ, trying different computers, trying different routers, and deleting character UI/.ini files without any success. See my tests performed below (bold indicates uniqueness of the test). Tests Performed Test 1, Setup: Main computer, main router, main modem, main IP. Test 1, Login: Type in user/pass combination, click Login, success to server select. Select P1999, Error 1018 will present itself. Test 2, Setup: Secondary computer, main router, main modem, main IP. Test 2, Login: Type in user/pass combination, click Login, success to server select. Select P1999, Error 1018 will present itself. Test 3, Setup: Main computer, main router, main modem, renewed IP. Test 2, Login: Type in user/pass combination, click Login, success to server select. Select P1999, Error 1018 will present itself. Test 3, Setup: Friend's computer 1000+ miles away, friend's router, friend's modem, friend's IP. Test 3, Login: Type in user/pass combination, click Login, success to server select. Select P1999, Error 1018 will present itself. Wait 1 hour, repeat tests, same results. Wait 6 hours, repeat tests, same results. Wait 24 hours, repeat tests, Error 1018 does not present itself, logout without selecting a character. Wait 24 more hours, repeat tests, Error 1018 resurfaces even though no character has been selected to enter the world at the character select screen. Conclusion and Thoughts
I have no way of confirming the exact behavior of the conditions under which Error 1018 occurs, because I don't have access to the P1999 source code. However, I think it's fairly suspect that a straggling crossed-out patch note is the final indication of any change made to its behavior. This problem is persistent, affects a moderate amount of people, and completely negates the ability to play on this server. As such, I feel this bug should at least be researched and/or addressed. | ||
