Trouble Logging In...

[Sulren]

Hello, I recently downloaded EQEmu Patcher 1.0.1 from www.eqemu.net. After I downloaded it and used the patch it worked fine, I could log into servers, make a character, play, etc.

I accidently ran Everquest.exe from my EQEmu directory and when I tried to play after about 30 minutes, while in Sleeper's Tomb, my internet connection had an auto-disconnect after 6 hours. So I tried to log back in and it crashed when I would attempt to log back into the character. I thought that was odd so I attempted to make a new character, and when it was approving the name it crashed. Eversince it has not stopped doing this, and I have tried reinstalling EQEmu, making a new directory for it, everything.

People tell me that when Sony uploads a patch to their hosted servers EQEmu has to match the patch with their servers, it sounds reasonable, except whenever I log into EQEmu I can see that other people are playing by the population number, but I can't play.

Do I have to wait until another EQEmu version is released? Is there a way to fix it? Is playing on EQEmu doomed forever? Please reply back, any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Get Norton Systemworks 2003, they have a cool thing that keeps your connection alive for as long as you need it

Is playing on EQEmu doomed forever?

Nope

So I tried to log back in and it crashed when I would attempt to log back into the character.

Does it make an error after it crashes? If it makes error 1017, run the eqemu patcher again.

and I have tried reinstalling EQEmu

If your just playing on the servers, you don't need to download the EQEmu files except eqhost.txt and the patcher. Only need them if your making a server.

I think I answered all I could, hope something up there helped
