@OP
It's an old issue. I never got a resolution on it either and its been bad enough to effectively keep me off of P99 for over a year. https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=328607 https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=320263 good luck. | ||

Resolution.
Get rid of eqemu, wineq2 and use the titanium.bat file in the everquest folder. right click create a desktop shortcut. then click the short cut do the whole windows XP services 2 compatibility. allow inbound and outbound in firewall and any other programs you use. I have not disconnected once. Those other programs they mention on the P99 forum are trash your essentially connecting into a server that connects to the EQ server. So theirs an extra hop on the network and if the service you signed into say EQemulauncher server is slow or has packet loss or low bandwidth your connection to the EQ server will be trash and unreliable. Do yourself an favor delete that junk and only launch from the titanium.bat file.

Sometime between when I last posted in the technical discussion about this and about a week ago this problem magically corrected itself on its own. I haven't made any changes to my EQ install, still using WinEQ2, router config is still the same, etc. | |||

yeah it's all network related policies per device amount of hops to each server, bandwidth the vpn could bring you closer to your ISP backbone, or the winEQ server it also bypasses router policies in firewall and router. all traffic is treated the same in a VPN pretty much, generalized policies.

POS

I Bought all new cables re-wired the house new modem, switch, tried VLANS, port forwarding everything. Running off the Titanium.bat piece of Sh and i constantly am having packed loss to the dam servers. NOT MY HOUSE!!!! ROLL BACK TO V52!!!!!!!! just wasted months, weeks of my life trying to relive a childhood dream and all it has done is pissed me off beyond belief and caused me so much stress i want to beat something with a bat. I mean are you using the legacy servers from 1999 or what?

i'll tell you whats up, the truth. two parties hold the blame for this. First its the shitty netcode they use here on p99, which seems like it cant even handle a single packet drop because it's game-over when that happens. So why are the packets dropping? That brings us to the second party - your ISP. Simply explain to them that you are having issues with a specific destination, so they can look into the routing. Give them tracerts to help them diagnose where the fuck your traffics going

I've had the same issues past few weeks, only a vpn connection works for me.
Sometimes I can log to server select and see the server lists without VPN, but won't log me onto them, Sometimes when it does and I get to the char select screen, it might crash out on loading the game and even then if I manage to get that far and I am finally in game, when I zone it will crash me. Its defo a network routing problem, I thought it was my AI protection built into my Asus router at first that was somehow blocking as it just got worse over the past weeks, disabled it and it worked, just a coincidence tho, its back to this bullshit of unable to to do anything unless I use VPN. I reside in Singapore for all its worth. Good luck in your quest, there is others that have this problem. | ||

Think server has big issues today. High latency, lot of zone crashes, cannot log into server.

I recently started having this same issue 3 days ago. Locks up while zone loading and sometimes from char select load. I tried using my phone through Verizon instead of my home network through ATT and it fixed the issue. Switched back to ATT and 1st zone after log in froze up. It's def packet drops for certain ISPs routes. That is why VPN works for some people as well. There is also a long thread from 2016 where a bunch of people all using ATT had this issue.
