Connection issue, constant / random drops

[Nybbas]

So when i loaded the WD dashboard for my SSD it showed the Firmware needed updating. I did that, ran the scan in CMD and the corruptions were fixed. I uninstalled and reinstalled, same thing. Had someone send me all the spell files except spelua.png (which appears to be the Jboot animation), same thing. I just logged in and hit my jboots and no drop, animation is fine. I have turned off spell effects at the recommendation of a couple other people to see if I keep getting dropped.

The files that are corrupted were installed in the brand new install. The scan is not showing any integrity issues, yet the DBG.txt file still shows an issue. I even went back and re-overwrote the files again, started EQ, dropped and ran the scan, no file integrity issues. Yet the connection to the server is still closing and dropping me.

The hard drive is a WD Blue SSD 1TB that is only months old, if it is going bad, I see nothing showing such. if it is, it is under warranty and I can get it replaced. I have no other issues with any other program, and EQ is being run in admin mode.

If it continues after spell effects off, I will report my DBG.txt file again.

Thanks for your time and assistance.

You want to include spelua.png if you're replacing files - I was simply alluding to the fact that there's a deeper problem than just the corrupted files. Files become corrupted for a reason, so replacing the corrupted files is merely palliative - treating the symptom instead of the underlying cause, and it'd be likely to happen again. It looks like there are multiple spell PNGs that are failing which causes the loading process to timeout, so it presents like a connection issue but the culprit is definitely the files.

It's possible your install source is bad, so I would try installing Titanium from a completely new source.
