Default A-ha! I solved my LD problem. :)

I had a problem with the last several releases using minilogin. Logging into other peoples EQ servers worked fine. When I set up a server on my own machine, everything would work OK until I got into a zone. At this point, the packet loss percentage would slowly climb until it hit 100% and I would then go LD.

One out of ten (or twenty?) times everything would work.

I figured it was a combination of two problems: Not enough memory (256 MB) and too slow of a processor (450 MHz). Some tests I ran showed EQ trying to grab 450 MB of RAM... Playing with the datarate file didn't help me.

I got the problem to go away by using EQW! After using EQW I haven't gone LD on log-in yet. I'm not exactly sure why it works but it does for me...

Hope this helps someone.

Mark

P.S. I think I remember Shawn giving this suggestion a while back but at the time I figured EQW would only make the memory problem worse.
