ld as soons as I log into game
 

I got the newest version of eqemu and it works with the new everquest. Everything went fine but as soon as I log into the game after making a chairactor the lag bar immediately starts dropping till i hit 0 and go back to chairactor select. I tried making a Ogre and a Human to see if it made any difference but it don't.

I am just doing the mini login right now

I am useing:
Windows ME (I did use boot4zones win9x version)
512 megs memory
geforce3 ti 200 128 meg video card
amd atholon 1.7

I did have the last version of eqemu working before the may 8th patch, but since then I have redone my hard drive and am useing windows me instead of windows xp at the moment. As far as my router goes all the settings I changed to get it to work before are still present. I think all the files are right. I did the 2006 error fix in mysql and I have been leaving winmysql open while trying to play. I rechecked the instructions and all files are where there supposed to be. I see no errors when loading anything up.

I'm also having this problem. I log in and immediatly start going LD.. Was working fine before but now it's just going LD every time I login.

having same problem also

Ditto. I go LD as soon as I enter the world. I just patched to current today and I'm using 0.3.2 with EQW (I can't log in without it :( )

System: HP Pavilion zt1170 laptop
- Win2kPro
- 512Mb RAM

I'm using the minilogon to try to run locally.

As a side note, does anyone have any insight as to why logging in without EQW doesn't work? When I use EQW the frame rate is REALLY choppy so I'd much rather use eqgame patchme...

running w/out EQW
 

drop to DOS prompt
change directory to c:\program files\everquest
(OR --> your everquest directory)

type:

eqgame.exe patchme

I dunno bout minilogin but using the publiclogin v1.0.2 it works great.

I never have used eqw cause I don't want to have to change my system colors nor run eq in a small window.

I accually have the same problem as well, but if I remember right it's from petitions. So basially.. if you don't use petitions or your not a GM (#gm off works to stop this), then it won't happen. We're working to resolve it.

How to fix ID on Login
 

To fix the LD on login problem you need to edit your DataRate.txt file in your []:\Program Files\EverQuest\ folder. You need to set it at about 10 is what worked for me. :) Hope this helps people!

Yup, bumping the data rate up from 5 to 10 fixed the LD problem. Now my only problem is the whole THREE frames per second under EQW :(

I tried changeing the datarate to 10 but it didn't do me any good. I know i looked in one of the boot5zones.win9x windows and as soon as I logged into the game it had a unepected opcode error

I'm having this problem off and on, and when it happens, it happens for a while till i give up and just don't play. changing the datarate worked once, but i eventually went ld again. Any word from a dev why this is happening?

Windcatcher,

I am sure you know better but Iwas having the 3fps problem to til I noticed my damn color depth was 32 bit and not 16bit under Display in windows. As for the LD yeah setting the datarate.txt up to 7 worked perfect for me.

Make sure you're in 16bit color mode (desktop and eqclient.ini) and also mess around with the ingame resolution (perhaps backng it up one) i had some problems with 1024x768 mode in EQ (1280x1024 desktop) and bumping EQ reso down to 800x600 took care of the FPS problems.

The way I run it is in 800X600 mode. Far as speed goes it is full speed *I can walk around for about 10 seconds before it completely drops me*. I don't use eqw I just open everquest.exe and it downloads a new eqhost.txt file. Then I past the locallogic eqhost in there and hit play. That is what I did on the previous version of the emulator and it worked great.
