Default Unable to Enter Game

When I attempt to enter the game on either blue or green, it freezes on the character select screen with the enter game button pressed in, eventually sending me back to the main screen where user name & password are entered.

Strangely enough it allows me to log into red completely and play without issue.

Any idea what could be causing this issue?

I uninstalled and deleted all p99 related files and did a full fresh install, still same issue.

To see if it's an issue with my computer, I installed p99 on my wife's laptop. Same issue. Crashes when logging into blue & green, but not red.

So it's either my ISP or something is wrong with my account for some reason.

Yeah, the next step would be verifying connectivity. Use a VPN, your cell hotspot, or take your wife's laptop to a friend's house (with a different ISP) or the library or something.

Try setting windowed=true in your eqclient.ini and set the windowed resolution to something simple and in a 4:3 aspect ratio - like 1024x768. If you can get it running, then play with the display settings until you get something you can live with that still works.

Are you on Win11? There're a few threads with suggestions for issues with that version.

The wiki has some other things you can try - maybe one will be applicable:

I remember I also had a problem with logging into the game, it turned out that when I ran the launcher, then there are two options, an error screen appeared, or it started with artifacts on the screen. I managed to fix this error by downloading the same version of the launcher, but through thepiratebay, through which I started the game. With logging into my account I had no problems, so it is likely that you either gave the wrong username or password, or you were blocked. This can be fixed by restoring your password or login in via Email.
