Possible Error 1018 fix, if you are having this issue look here

[Mattpearson]

After much anguish with the "error 1018" bug and posting my problem under technical discussion, I found this new post for help. I followed the steps with no success. I myself do not understand how the program could be recognizing a player in the game when I had no "name_project1999.ini files" remaining in the directory. I replaced all my files and still have the same error. There has to be a viable solution to this problem for people who are unwilling to lose all their gear to start over.

My problems with the error 1018 bug also began after I accidentally I left a nonactive character logged on over night, and camped/logged the character off after I realized this. When I went to log back on hours later, the error 1018 bug began.

The act of leaving a nonactive character logged on for several hours seems to have some causal connection to the error 1018 bug.

I thought the error had somehow fixed itself when it mysteriously stopped last weekend; the error 1018 bug, however, returned today, and none of the solutions that I have discovered have worked.

I have accounts that have no characters on them who experience this issue. Even on accounts with characters, correct /camp logouts will do nothing to solve the problem. The error will come and go as it pleases.

There is a server side implementation bug in checking for "Active Characters". See my post here detailing this issue: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...d.php?t=105606

Take note of the straggling patch note that was crossed out years ago about fixing Error 1018 oddities.
