The dreaded 1017 bug - so many possible causes. According to this thread computers with a clock speed over 4 GHz frequently have this problem, which can be resolved by underclocking your processor.

You also might want to try completely disabling your firewall and antivirus if you're running anything beyond MSE/Windows Defender.

I am convinced it's something to do with your computer specifically though, since your other machine is connecting fine.

Login won't let you ping it.

Good old EQ - the only game you can play in 2016 that might require you to downgrade your PC.

thanks paulgiamatti for the suggestion

so 4.2 seems to be the sweet spot

i still retain a 1ghz OC with minimal performance loss and can now get into the game no problem

so 4.2 and below is acceptable by the p99 server and 4.3 and up is unacceptable

it may just be that the 4.5ghz oc i was running wasnt stable enough on the clock speeds and the server may have been reading the fluctuating delta as a speed hack and not letting me join but i can now play so i suggest everyone who is having this problem go back to stock if that fixes the problem just slowly back down from your overclock till you hit your sweet spot


now i have to figure out if ill need to go back to 4.5 anytime i want to play more modern games such as fall out 4
