random crashing while zoning, higher ms, blank server select!?! - Page 32

I had awful issues last night and tried everything under the sun to fix them, with no luck.

As far as my ISP is concerned, I have FIOS.

I am an IT person and I cannot pinpoint the issue. The issue ONLY occurs when there are over 1100 people logged in on Blue. If I get on in the morning (EST), I never run into a problem.

I hang when zoning, I get a no server select screen, I can get to the character select screen, click on the character and log in and it hangs.

I've updated everything and anything on my end. I even flashed my router last night, flushed out DNS settings on both the local machine and at my router level.

Seeing as this ONLY happens when the population of Blue exceeds 1100, I'm absolutely positive it's an issue on their end.

I have been testing out other EQEMU server as well as EpicEMU and SoD (which aren't on EQEMU) I haven't had these problems. I can play on all these other servers and zone all day long and never freeze or crash. So this seems to be just with P99. So there for it has to be on their end.

They are forcing me and others like me who want to play on P99 to go play on other EQ servers.

If it was 2/3 of the population having this problem they would be all over it. But because it is a small group of us they do not seem to care, which is sad.

I will go play on Chronicles of Norrath till this gets fixed if it ever gets fixed. I really do hope it does, but I just cant deal with the game freezing up all the time on me.

Again I don't have this problem on other server so it has to be something to do with P99.

Take Care all I will check back now and then.

Update for me:

The past two days I've had no problems as compared to the three prior days. Server populations when I logged in were 1084 and 1144. I changed nothing on my end.

And the problems are back again. When I could see the login screen, population count was at 1167

Since my last post of no issues, a few days later started having infrequent drops. It got more progressive with time. Memory leak or some other server side corruption would be my guess.

I have absolutely no idea what to do here. The game is unplayable when the population exceeds 1100 for me.

I crash every time i zone.

This is a frequent issue for me too. I always get the blank server select screen after a zoning crash and, strangely enough, by far the most common crash is when I zone from EC to WFP. Other than this issue, I never crash while zoning and can run P99 totally fine (no WinEQ no nothing).

I had this same problem today for the first time. I was going from Butcherblock into Kaladim. Froze up during loading and then when I tried to reconnect there were no servers. I eventually figured out that I could logout then back in again repeatedly until the server list appeared. Still had problems zoning, though not every time. And sometimes I could just wait it out and eventually load the zone instead of getting disconnected. There were 1300+ people on at the time.

Got this problem again, this time back to back nights only zoning into North Freeport. Blank server select fixes after a few tries, but for the first time ever I am having problems getting back in the game.

I can play EQ Live with no problem
I can play SoD with no problem (not on EQemulator)
I can play EPICEMU with no problem (not on EQemulator)
I can play all kinds of EQ emulator servers with no problem
I have used Titanium, RoF2, Underfoot, and EQ live free download plat forms with no problem at all.

The only Server I have this problem with is P99. So the Derv's have screwed with something that is causing this.

And now, with population routinely topping 1300, when you do manage to get in you have the added bonus of desyncing at random intervals, followed of course by another 15 to 30 minutes of not being able to get back into the game. No point in trying to get a group due to zoning issues + desyncs, solo is stupidly risky due to desyncs, tradeskilling pointless too with the desyncs.
