Another Error 1017

danielc409 · #1 06-21-2008, 04:29 PM

After selecting server, it goes to loading screen then back to login screen. I log back to server select and it says:

Error 1017: Cannot login to Everquest server. You may need to re-run the Update patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary.

I've reloaded titanium fresh probably 3 or 4 times. I'm sure its something simple i'm overlooking, but i can't seem to get a fix.

I'm directly connected to cable modem, no router. Have tried more than one server, still get the same error.

I've tried searching the forum but seems like most issues were due to routers but i'm just straight wired, disabled all firewalls etc. Any suggestions much appreciated.

this is a rather common error and i run into it from time to time. there is no need to re install just continue to keep exiting eq and restarting it... trying to log in 3-5 times per restart. the problem usually goes away after a while of trying to log in and is rather annoying, but at least it doesn't require a reinstall

Yea did the reinstalls just to double check everything. I'll just keep pecking at it thanks.

Heh shouldn't take hours should it? This is getting a little crazy now.

have you tried logging into other servers? ones with high populations preferred... try logging into one of those, if your still having the same problem after many connection tries id really start to wonder if there was something wrong with your install cds? did you encounter any errors while installing?

Sounds like you aren't using the correct version of EQ. You need a LEGAL copy of EQ Titanium pack. NOT the Trilogy, or any downloaded version of the game.

If you absolutely do have the right version, then make sure you don't have any firewalls on. And, if live in a dorm or are trying to play from work, most likely you are going through a proxy and they are blocking a port needed for eqemu. Not much you can do about it if that is the case.
