Can't get past server select.

[Thomacles]

I can log into server select no prob, but whenever I select a server, there is about 5 second wait, then I get booted back to login screen.

This is all I found if it helps anyone figure out what is going on.

This could be an issue from overclocking your CPU.

[Thomacles]

I never overcocked it, don't even know how. Could something have done it through a program or something? I didn't have this prob till 3 days ago, and haven't changed a thing on the comp.

[Argh]

What are the specs on your CPU?

[Thomacles]

WIN10 home 1903

Intel core I-5 2450M@2.50Ghz 2.50Ghz

8G RAM

4bit operating system, v-64 based processor

OS build 18362.418

[Argh]

Ok, sounds like it shouldn't be CPU related then.

Did you ever have to add any exceptions to your firewall to allow you to connect previously?

[Thomacles]

I always ran EQGAME.exe through the firewall since install. Like I said, all was fine till 3 days ago. Firewall exception, I mean.)

[Argh]

Try flushing your DNS by opening cmd prompt and typing:

ipconfig /flushdns

[Thomacles]

Did that, said cache cleared, went to try to login, and same result, booted back to login screen after server select

[drmskr]

Same problem I am having.

Works fine on my brothers win7 machine, but something about my Win10 machine is doing this. And it didn't used to...
