Small Login Problem
 

Ok here goes.

I have 1 EQEmu Directory with eq blah blah blah.

It's version is the most up to date with live EQ servers.

I run EQW 2.35a

Everything goes well, but after server select i get booted saying 1017. So i did some research around the other posts of people having a similar problem. noticed it's some firewall thingy, i disabled my firewall and even enabled DMZ on my router. no luck yet.

So , Next i downloaded eqfix.zip, since it's an older version , i had to roll back my EQW to 2.32

Had the Planes of Power Background instead of froggy, so i used 5999 port as login, select server , click GO , and WOW it works ! i can create my character and stuff but however it seems that when i click ENTER world i get booted to desktop ! =(
This problem reminds me of the old days whereby if your version of the game isnt the same as the servers , it just crashes.

(I've also read http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.php?p=46298 , deleted my UI files , only default is left , still crashes)

So there we go, 2 Different versions , 2 different problems.



Thanks for listening ! heh

eqfix is not supported :~(?

ic

ok just repatched to the latest version , logged into port 5997

looks gtg now , cept that damn 1017 problem cant be fixed yet.

no firewall , no dmz , deleted eq.tmp , datarate is set to 8. hmm

ok works now

i guess i'm only allowed to connect to 0.5.0 servers.

when connected to thoes i wont get 1017 errors!!

tried everything below that version and that lame box comes out =P

guess i'll wait for the other peeps to upgrade =)

Yes, the reason that there isnt too many 5.0 servers atm is because its still in development, once 5.0 is officially released, everyone will have to upgrade.
