The thought occurred to me that it might have something to do with something in your bank. Felwithe and Greater Faydark both have bank vendors - as I understand it, all of your banked item data is attached to those vendor NPCs.

It's a long shot, but maybe for some weird reason it's okay with you zoning *into* a zone with a bank vendor (Felwithe), and then glitches out when you try to zone out of the zone containing the bank vendor and puts your character in a bugged state.

I guess a way you could try to verify this is get moved to a different zone other than Felwithe or Greater Faydark with a bank, like North Freeport, and then try to zone over to West Freeport.

i had the same thing happen from lfay and butcher too..... I think i'm going to try and see about transferring all my items to a newbie char and then moving around..... it may not be items at all but instead character files on server...... hopefully this will be fact finding.... i'll let you know what happens

This is a crazy bug! I hope you're able to get it corrected.

It really sounds like file corruption.

Honestly I would look for another source of Titianium.

Maybe try making a whole new account and see if that has anything to do with it.

I think it is but I think Paul hit it on the head with being a server-side corruption. A good way to test this would be to try logging in on another computer with a different install and seeing if the result is different. If it was local file corruption, clearing out the characters .ini/config file would/should fix the issue.

I have not deleted the .ini/config file. Will try this tonight after work.

So i deleted the files and was instantly able to log in. However, I do not think the deletion of the files was the actual resolution and here is why. I was able to zone into Felwithe from Gfay without issue and ground transfer some items to my twink (8 backpacks full of Crushbone belts & pads). I then logged onto my level 1 and attempted to zone out of Felwithe into Gfay and it paused and kicked me straight back to the login screen. I tried getting back in at least a dozen times and yes I deleted the ini and config file for this toon as well with no luck at all.

I tried again this morning before leaving for work and was able to get in on the 3rd attempt. I zoned into Butcherblock, camped, and confirmed I was able to get back in on the first try.

I noticed Jalico is a satellite user and so am I. I think this does have something to do with bandwidth/speed but it only seems to affect Gfay. So the real question is what can we do as satellite users to resolve this? Oh, and satellite or dial up are my only options unfortunately - I would give my left nut for cable or DSL at this point.

Satellite could definitely come into play. Satellite connections can be very inconsistent, not sure what you'd be able to do to fix that. This would explain possibly why this happens sporadically and not every time though. Your signal has to travel a lot further (physical anyways) than someone who has Cable/DSL or even Dial Up.

How many hops does it take to hit www.project1999.com on a tracert? open command prompt and type tracert www.project1999.com or (108.61.129.170)

Completely agree with you here..... I have tried to do whatever I can to get better internet service but haven't been able to find anything yet.



Now for an update:

I was placed in Felwithe and was able to load in correctly as per normal. Then did a transfer with a buddy one bag at a time, zoned out and zoned back in making sure each bag was good to go.

latency was going up the more items I had on my character but I was still able to zone into and out of Gfay perfectly fine, though with more and more of a wait time (could have been me getting more and more nervous it was going to crash, though, too). This especially became apparent after my backpack of 3 stacks of food, 3 stacks of water, and 2 almost full stacks of tiny daggers, my latency once getting into zone (which is when it is highest for me until it settles down) was right about 1100ms (feel lucky any other internet user). This was up compared to the ~950ms when I had no gear at all in my inventory or body.

The bag that caused me to disconnect while zoning into Gfay (and actually give me a "You have been disconnected" black screen) was my bag of stacked gems for my jewelry making. I had a lot (not 8 stacks of 20) in there. Luckily I was able to relog back on without a GM forcibly moving me to Felwtihe. Once logged on, zoned perfectly back into Felwithe and I am in the process of removing all of those gems either by selling or jewelry making.

An earlier post was brought up and I think it fits our case right now, @urbanbo. And this is only a somewhat decently researched hunch, may not be the only recourse. As a satellite user, we can only run so much BW before we get booted..... and really I think it has more to do with time than anything else (not sure if this could possibly change from a dev's perspective). It tends to kick me approximately 2 mins after loading into a zone that it won't allow me in. That seems to be the approximate time for a disconnect anyways and I think the server boots us/ gives up on the connection even if our internet is still connected and we're just loading extremely slowly.

So if we have a ton of items (stackable or not) in and out of the bank, AND we are heading into a "bankable" zone, our characters have to load as well as the bankable items in case we hit that up. The special case appears to be Gfay itself. As a large and widely used zone, the latency is already going to be a little higher than normal, not to mention the city within that has the merchants and bank, etc.... with the loading that already has to happen, PLUS our item counts, it appears to be

Honestly I hope this is the reason and answer to our problems cause I haven't been able to look at most of Kunark, or in the case of FV, even set foot in. If this helps me fix some of the zoning issues, it just means I have to live the minimalist life until I get into the zone I plan on using. If you're problem is similar to mine, which is sounds so, once I am loaded into a zone, I'm perfectly fine to move about and act as normal and interact just fine; its the loading in that causes the crash.

I hope this helps anyone else having issues. I was really happy I didn't have to delete my character and start over.



tl;dr..... items create more latency inside and out of bank slots, latency issues compounded with slow internet possibly times out users during load in to large zones (especially with banks). Solve by getting rid of a bunch of items until you can work properly.
