Hang at Server Join

[Bohbo]

Background: I have had good success with windows servers but wanted to make the leap to linux (debian 8).

I followed the Debian 7 instructions as close as possible little difference with the visual install options and /var/www/html vs /var/www for php stuff.

Beyond that it seemed pretty straight forward. My problem is when i join the server my client hangs indefinitely and turns into not responding. I have copied the spell file and my LS account was registered in the DB. However I cannot get to character creation.

I don't see any errors after running ./world (I am not using any startup scripts). I am starting ./world then ./eqlaunch zone (in a separate terminal tab) I couldn't really figure out why i should be using tmux when i can just open a new terminal tab.

Looks like it was a problem with the client. I was going fresh and downloaded the F2P client from steam. I re downloaded it again and noticed patch notes date. Got my old RoF2 install from an old hard drive and all is well again.
