can no longer play game due to CPU clock speed, any solution?

[Talinthis]

Hello, a few months ago when i started the server i solved this issue myself, and afterwards found someone that fixed it the same way i did as seen here -- https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=161971.. My topic i made is here --> https://www.project1999.com/forums/s....php?p=2813874

after upgrading to windows 10 for some reason my computer constantly locks up anywhere, you name it, in bios, trying to reformat, in safe mode, anything. this is SOLVED by going back to my original clock speed as i have had zero issues in 3 days so i assume the problem is windows 10. it should be noted i have the exact same processor as this guy in the first link.

as such i can no longer play the game since i can no longer underclock my cpu to 4.2 GHz, so a 1017 error is forever on the screen when i try to login to blue server. also worth mentioning is that logging onto any other server results in the game being ultra fast, with me being able to cross zones in like 3 seconds, which was remedied when i dropped my processor down to 4.2 GHz

should also note i did every single troubleshooting method on this site and everywhere on the internet. it does not work. and done it again now that i have this issue once more, probably at least 10 times each going through the list of solutions.

here is the debug. if anyone knows what the issue is let me know. until then, it was fun norrath! i will make a partition on my drive and install a second OS someday so i can throttle my CPU clock speed down to make the client connect again.

Bump I have the same problem my clock speed is 4.5 Ghz

[Cilraaz]

I'm not sure why you would think this is clock speed related. The error specifically states it's a world authentication issue.

I run at 4.9GHz with no problem.

[Uamil900]

Well I clocked it back to 4.2 and it started working again I just watercooled my cpu and the boost use to be set to 4.5 but it wouldn’t ever go that high it would stay around 3.2-4.1 when I set it to force a set core clock it would be stable at 4.5 but p99 would well go into overdrive.
