Problem and maybe solution to login server freeze / crash
I have this problem all the time;
When I start up the EQ client, it will freeze, then crash to desktop after username / password. You can see the servers, but that's all (then it crashes).
The problem is in the "eqlsPlayerData.ini" with these two lines:
LastServerID=
LastServerName=
it can also freeze if "HasReadSWarning=true" is set to "false" and sometimes "LastViewed=-1709800869" has a zero number in it.
I think it only happens to users like me that also have a LAN with a public server running. What I see happens alot to reqular users who do not have a server, is, when I first re-load my server here, they get pushed into my server when they choose someone elses or use quick-connect.
What might also happen to users is, everytime someone loads a server, the numbers assigned to them in do not match any more with the ones in your "LastServerID=" line. In fact, all the server numbers must get shuffled around with a new server add in the log in server. So when you restart your EQ client, what your client is looking for in "LastServerID=" is something different; if you have a 7x client and you "LastServerID=" now matches that of a 6x server, that will cause you to freeze too.
One solution would be to start assigning specific numbers to the public servers (one that would never change).
My work-around solution is;
Always keep "LastServerID=" "LastServerName=" cleared (notheng after the "="). Make sure everthing is set to "true" (HasReadSWarning=true).
Sometimes , even though you do all this, it still freezes- Just restart your server, then you'll be able to log in (make sure you did the "eqlsPlayerData.ini" changes first) .
So far, this has always worked for me
