I tried this a couple times and my accounts that do get the SSSE still got the SSSE.

This appears to be a work around for hardware or driver incompatibility but I tried it anyway and still received the SSSE.
----------------
It's apparent that modifying the login server code is currently not an option. That leaves the EQEmu community a very few solutions. The most effective solution is answer the Survey sent from the login server by selecting "Yes" then clicking "Submit". After doing this almost all players find the SSSE never effects that account again because the login server stops sending the Survey to that account. The second less explored solution is using a firewall/router which blocks the client crashing second Survey packet. I'm fairly sure this is possible but I don't have a wide variety of routers laying around to test.
So here is what can be done to make the SSSE go away and if you can do one of these things please let us know. If you can't do one of these things it is very likely your solution is not a solution for the SSSE.
1. Change the login server so the Survey is automatically set to "yes response" for all accounts new and old. (currently not an option)
2. Find a router or firewall setting that blocks the second Survery packets which cause the SSSE.
3. Make the Survey display whenever a player wants so they can respond "Yes" and click "Submit". Even though the Survey is always sent to SSSE prone accounts during login the Survery displays very rarely and I don't know why.
If you feel you can find a solution to the SSSE get a packet analyzer such as Ethereal so you can see packets coming to you during login. You will need to verify the account you're using does in fact get the Survey packet every login. Use that account for your testing. Also remember, the error causing second Survey packet may not always arrive immediately. It may come later while sitting at the server select screen.
