1017 Error

Kars · #1 01-06-2023, 07:44 PM

Everytime I try to sign in, I get to the server select screen and then booted back to the login screen. At that point, if I log back in, I get the following error message.

"Error 1017: Cannot login to the EverQuest server. You may need to re-run the Update Patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary."

Seen a few others posting about a similar error, but none of the recommended fixes are fixing anything. I'm clocked at 3.2ghz, so no issue there. Tried patching, reinstalling. Still same error.

Any help is appreciated.

I am going through this now as of today. LMK if you find out a fix

Yeah, hadn't changed anything prior to having the issue. Was playing Wednesday night, couldn't Thursday afternoon. Still no luck. Tried every fix I can find/think of.

I had the same problem a few days ago. My phone was trying to connect to my computer even though I wasn't running my internet connection through my hotspot on my phone. It still gave me this error. I tested it multiple times. Phone connected, it wouldn't work. Disable the bluetooth/unplug the phone and it works fine.

That was what my solution was. Worked perfectly since.

Having the same issue. Before the Dec 23rd patch, I could connect to Blue/Red but Green would always 1017 me when trying to connect. After the patch, I can connect to green just fine, but now Blue/Red give me 1017. I've also tried a reinstall and most of the other fixes, with no luck.

So I tried installing on my kids computer and am getting the same error. So it doesn't seem to be a PC thing. I'm kinda ignorant to all this stuff. I just want to kill things and heal people.

When I am on my home wifi I can connect to P99. While on work wifi, I get the 1017 error. I then ran a hotspot through my phone, connected laptop to phone, and I still get the 1017 error.

I can connect to other eqemu servers. Just not ANY P99 servers....

Help!

Just an update for anyone still reading: it's flip flopped again on my end. I can now connect to Blue/Red just fine, but Green won't connect with 1017 error message. I'm on an older laptop I've been using with P99 since 2016, so I don't think it's a computer issue. I'm guessing either the internet at my condo, or something on the P99 end, is changing security settings/port blocking or something on a set schedule and when it happens, it changes which servers I can connect to.
