It happened again...this time zoning into Butcherblock.

After I set up my UI - mostly just adding two chat boxes, sizing them, moving them, and filtering. Three macro hotkeys.

I've reinstalled and am able to play again.

Going to leave it as default for a while to see if I have the issue again.

Edit: After thinking about this more, the UI shouldn't be the issue. I read the post about copying UI from one character to another, and then verified I had deleted the UI data related to Morica prior to my first re-install and that did not solve my issue.

So you're still havin' the same issue, future-wifey? ([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

get back at me in a pm/post on here and we'll try to crack this egg before i start trying to crack yours. (/snicker)

I played all weekend with no issues, although I was mostly on another character. I did zone several times with Morica, with no issues. I did alter my UI without issue.

I'm glad it's working, but I would have liked to determine what the cause was.

This happened to my wife and I (on different computers) over the weekend. I tried several things - in the end, I went into my EQ folder, renamed my character's config file (so the game could create a new one upon startup).

It fixed it. After that, I logged in fine. Of course, I had to recreate all of my macros and setup my hotbars again, but it did resolve the problem. Try it next time.

Same issue. Other people can log in my character fine. I can get to char select screen but never into the world. Other characters on the same or different accounts log in FINE. I renamed the config files with the character's name attached, issue unresolved. Renamed them back. Tried WinEQ and EQEmuLauncher. Tried eqgame.exe with the patchme and same issue. Haven't logged him on in over 2 days now. Usually this problem only lasts an hour or less then i can magically log in like normal again. But now, 2 days of getting redirected to the login screen after selecting my character. Not very fun.

Looking at the logs I get disconnected at various times during the login procedure after character is selected.

"Networking: connection terminated [client[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]isconnectReasonOtherSideTerminated,server: DisconnectReasonNone]"
"disconnected at C:\EQ\EverQuest\EverQuest.cpp:17233 (char. select) DisconnectReasonOtherSideTerminated,DisconnectReas onNone"

sometimes followed by-

"nError is TRUE at C:\EQ\EverQuest\EverQuest.cpp:20261"

The furthest I've gotten in the login steps is-

"MSG_TIME_STAMP received. (Items inc)."

But I can get dropped much earlier in the process, even while client side graphics setup is still ongoing i can get disconnected instantly.

**Just wanted to note i can log on other accounts and other characters on those accounts and other characters on this same account just FINE.

I am able to login in the said character above for him on my computer just fine. He did mention possibly doing a fresh reinstall- though he just recently installed a fresh new copy. Ughh!

[Lyra]

Let us know if the re-install worked.

I notice I didn't say it in this thread, but I eventually dumped my problem account and made a new one. I've played two months without issues on the new account.

[User]

Yeah this is a very old account i forgot to mention, nearly as old as the server. I'm not going to re-install yet since I really don't think it will help. I remember this same issue coming up 2 years ago where i couldn't log characters in at random, but it may have been a separate issue.

And yeah, I read a lot of threads, Lyra, and i thought i picked up hints that you had created a new account and started over. I'm not doing that, not even an option lol.

Also just remembered i had another install of EQ on a separate hard drive attached to this computer. That install won't let me log on either, just tried it. Exact same result.

Current install is on a SSD and i'm not going to lower it's lifespan by repeatedly reinstalling EQ every time i get a character locked out.

Also, I use satellite internet so my ping is minimum 800ms and average about 1500ms. If I can ever get logged into the world then i can play forever as long as i don't zone or log out. The high ping is a very minor annoyance in a PvE game, easily still playable ...even if it turns my FD into a 3-5 second cast time.
