Still crash 90% of the time zoning

Gotta love simple CR's taking 2 hrs because the game crashes 90% of the time. My main computer doesn't do this, no clue why my laptop does it.

Then it takes me 30min just to log back in because of connection issues. I honestly feel like I'm back on dial up like the good ole days.

I guess ill be the first.

This needs to be posted in tech forum.

However, I would guess HD issues on your laptop, or Ram.

Solution: Don't play on your laptop. Or buy a new one...as cheap as they are its usually not worth fixing them if they are more than a few years old.

Launch EQ using Lavishsoft WinEQ

I predict it will solve all your problems.

My windows 7 machine rarely crashes but my windows 8 laptop crashes on most zoning and everytime i get to character select after camping. I just deal with it.... Win8 is a bummer of a os and i only use it when i'm on the road.

Note to self: Don't get windows 8?

I think internet connection/wireless signal strength can have something to do with this to.

Do you use the same ISP on both main comp and laptop? Or you using a different connection like at work or something on your laptop?

Is your main computer running off wireless and or is it closer to you wireless hub?
Same question about laptop? Or maybe your connecting with your lap top to far away from wireless hub?

I had this issue happen to me a lot, then i changed my internet service provider and i haven't had the problem since.

My old ISP had high ping/latency and packet loss often.

I used to crash a lot as well when I used crappy shared apartment internet at some point. Using a personal ISP subscription has solved this issue for me on Win 7 and Win 8.

Brand new laptop, Lenovo Y500.
8GB RAM
i7-3630QM Quad Core processor
SLI 650M GPUs

Samsung 840 250gb SSD
Windows 7

Tried both SLI and singular GPU configurations.

Wired internet connection.

Nothing but drivers, skype, vent and EQ on laptop.

Happened both with Windows 8 on old standard 5400rpm HDD that came with laptop, as well as upgraded SSD with Windows 7.

I'll try WinEQ and report back.

I think I've read something in tech discussion about problems with the "quad core" processors...

A Tech Discussion sticky thread might help: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3604

I still crash and I don't know what to do anymore. Makes playing on this server unbearable since I can't readily join my guild at a moments notice to do something. I find myself camping in the same zone, on one character because even if I switch characters (or try to) I get kicked off and it usually takes me about 10-15min to just log back in. Took me 30min to get a port to WC, run to EC tunnel and get a port.
