New PC, can't get past login

Headcase_Fargone · #1 02-24-2023, 03:26 PM

Running Windows 11 on a new PC, every time I select Green server it kicks me back to the login screen with the below authentication error. I've tried the following solutions I found here so far:

Set max clockspeed to 3.2Ghz
Reinstalled using Duxa's installer, set use single CPU
Turned off Windows Firewall
Set desktop resolution to 800x600
Tried running windowed and full screen

Is there any other solution to this?

I've also tried a fresh install of Windows 10 and it just will not run on this AMD Ryzen 7900X system. I'm watching the clockspeed in three different applications on another monitor and it never goes above 3.2Ghz, which seems to be the solution for this error everywhere I look.

Are your antivirals doing a nope? Check the client is white listed.

For future reference, it turns out limiting the clockspeed via a Windows utility like Ryzen Master is insufficient. I had to set a max of 4.2 in the bios itself, perma-nerfing my new rig. I don't see any way of limiting a single core and forcing the EQ executable to use only that core, but will keep looking.

set to winxp sp3 compatability mode?

Yup. Only thing that made a difference was locking clockspeed in BIOS.

This may seem silly, but you remember there is a different login for forums than the game servers?

hmmm maybe I won't upgrade to a 5800x3d?

dont hate me if im wrong but you should be fine with this chip. AMD chips with a clock speed of 4.2ghz and over are having the issues.

5800x3d has a base clockspeed of 3.4ghz. so you should be fine and dandy
