Game closes immediately after server selection

[Gourmir]

I was able to launch the game and play one time about a week ago, and now when I came back to play again I have this frustrating problem.

After logging in and everything properly I get to the server selection screen and choose the server I wish to play on and then suddenly the game just closes. No crash, no error, no nothing.

I have spent approximately 8 hours trying to troubleshoot this issue to no avail, and I am at wit's end. The only thing I've seen remotely close to this issue is a window resolution problem, but I have tried many different resolutions and windowed mode and there is no change whatsoever. I have completely deleted all of the files and re-extracted them 3 or so times, one of which was the files of a friend who is able to play as I write this.

If anyone could help me out on this, I'd really appreciate it.

This just recently started happening to me as well..

Got a new monitor 2560x1440 native resolution I've tried numerous things, but I keep crashing to desktop after I select a server. Anyone else running this resolution have their eqclient settings handy?

once in awhile I get "an unknown error occurred while trying to join the server" messege.. then when I attempt to connect again it absolutely boots me back to desktop.

same issue, I get to server select pick the blue99 server and it kicks me back to log in screen.

I'm getting the same thing here, after it boots me back to the login credentials screen (after I have tried to join the blue server), I try to log in again and it says:

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.

I actually just did a fresh install as well, and I'm still getting this issue.

have you tried getting into the eqconfig and changing the resolution to something basic like 800x600? I know oddball resolutions cause a lot of people a lot of grief..
