Default intermitant connects

After 0.2.0 came out I did an EQ patch, Replaced my eqhost.txt, logged in and played on eq.gotfrags with no problems.

The next day I try and log in and I get to the server select. Select any server. Start to connect and I get "Unable to connect, rerun the patch"

I go rerun the patch. Replace the eqhost.txt but I continue to get the same message.

I didn't change anything. Any ideas what is keeping me from connecting?

Ive been having the same problem. The funny thing is, when I use eqw 2.2, I dont have any problems. Try using eqw and see if that resolves it. I hate playing in the window, but its the only thing thats worked with me so far. Ive had this problem with all the machines I have on my network Ive tried to play from, so it must be some type of general connectivity issue, but why it would be related to using 'eqw2.2' versus 'eqgame patchme' is beyond me.

bonkey -- you didn't say what you changed in your LoginServer.ini or what you system set up is -- one box, multibox, etc.

Make sure your worldaddress= points to the location of your world server. It's is sort of like the zone file where 127.0.0.1 works only if you server and client are on the same machine.
I have to use 192.168.1.3 because thats where my world server is located.

Anyway, the problem is connectivity and not "patch". So don't keep trying to patch, it won't get you anywhere.

Mad,
This happens when you connect to any server, not just too your own.

Ah I see. I just spot checked a few servers. Some have the problem and some don't.
If I had read the original post closer I would have noticed:
"select any server"

This is a common problem and even happens on gotfrags.

Try restarting your computer and if that doesnt help the person hosting the server must restart there server.

This should fix it.

Thanks for the suggestions. The eqw gets me logged in consistantly, but I can't get my mouse back. I tried the ctrl-alt-r but it doesn't do anything.

So, I guess I am waiting for the next release to see if that fixes it.

If you have the EQW mouse problem make sure your active window is EQW. try minamizing everything and then restoring EQW.
