Getting Kicked Back to Log in screen when joining a server
 

Ive been away for a while i guess, i dunno whats wrong. It kicks me back to log in any time i try to join a server. Anyone experience this?

What version of EQ are you running? What kind of server? Public or self hosted?

Public, titanium

Is it throwing you any errors at all?

Does it happen before you connect to the character select screen? Do you at least get to the server selection list?

Before i get to the character select screen.

Ill click on the server name, click join, screen goes black and im back at login

what file would I check for errors

From the Wiki, try number 6 first if it applies to you.

"I can log into the Server Select screen, but when I try to connect, the screen goes black and then goes to the login screen again.
There are multiple reasons that could be causing this. Here are some of them:

1. Most likely you are running the wrong version of Everquest. Only Legal copies of Everquest Titanium completely unpatched will work.
2. You may want to try other servers to make sure that it isn't a problem on that particular server.
3. If you live in a dorm or are playing at work, you might be using a proxy that is blocking port 5998, which means you won't be able to connect.
4. If you are running a P2P or Torrent program, it might be using all of your bandwidth. Try turning them all off.
5. You may have a firewall that is blocking EQ. Disable all firewalls.
6. If you are running a Dual Core CPU or Windows Vista, you will probably need to read the following post and apply at least one of the fixes listed in it: http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/sho...t=25327∞
7. You may need to adjust your Windows Desktop and/or your Everquest Resolution settings.
8. Make sure your drivers are up to date for your Video Card.
9. If you have sound enabled, make sure your sound card is working.
10. Try resetting your router. If that doesn't help, try connecting your PC directly to your cable/dsl modem and see if that helps."

Says access is denied when i try to set affinity

eh tried all the stuff, guess i just c ant play it. All my ports are forwarded, set affinity to 0, did the windows patch, got latest graphics card drivers too.

Does it happen on every server you try? Have you tried multiple servers?

If it happens on all servers, maybe you are behind a proxy that is blocking port 5998. That would normally only happen from a shared network like on a college campus or airport, or at your work, etc.

yeah its happening on all servers. No im on my home cable, and they never blocked this port before, and i have all my ports forwarded lolz

Yep dont ask me, did everything but reinstall windows. Im probably not doing that for a while. Alas EQ i hardly knew yee
