eqgame.exe crashing

[gatorade]

im now getting the same problem. after logging in to the server select screen i get the eqgame.exe has encountered a problem box. heres what ive noticed. after putting in my password and hitting enter up pops the server select screen but its frozen. you cant scroll through the server list but the little ticker underneath the servers is not frozen. nothing has changed on my computer cause i was just playing. my friend logged on to his account couldnt get in and then for troubleshooting i /q my eq game, waited for about a minute and tried to log on myself. nope. now im getting the same problem. believe the login server has gone buggy.

OK, lets try and find some similarities to fix this. I had his problem a few days ago, as mentioned above mine was caused by using no-ip.info to resolve my IP Address of my server, but no-ip.info wasn't auto-updating, i had to goto www.no-ip.info, delete my old registration and re-create it again using my new IP address.. no-one using minilogin has this problem, so i am still convinced it's IP and name resolution... please ping your server by the name you have used in eqemu_config.xml .. and post your replies.. thanks

It's hard to tell wether this is a co-incidence or not because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. After several attempts and not getting on, I renamed eqclient.ini so it can be re-created (seemed the most basic and didn't want to spend an hour reconfiguring hotkeys and such) and I was able to get in right away.

Again, it could be just a co-incidence. One time I thought it was because I was using a custom UI so changed to Default and it worked. But that wasn't it because for the most part, I still don't have many probs using a custom.

It is IP related. I had the same prob, tried on a different computer and again same prob. I released my IP and picked a new one... it works now.

I have no clue though as to why it would crash because you use the same IP.

For what its worth I've been adding players from RL friends onto my server, and whenever we login, we do so as a mass group... whenever one of us gets this problem we all get this problem.... it randomly stops happening after enough retries to each of us one at a time however, not all at once, but the fact that everyone i can talk to IRL has this problem at eactly teh same time suggests it isn't client side, especially since the people i know are spread all through my region, not concentrated into one neighboorhood or anything...

I wouldn't doubt this 'can' be caused by a clientside issue, but there is definately something that is causing this on the loginserver side.... the half dozen times that this has happened to 5 different people in perfect syncronization suggests it's well beyond the point of a coincidence...


For what it's worth anyways

This just happened to me as well, where when you got to the server select screen, you would get the eqgame has caused an error and when you clicked OK, you were back at your desktop. Turned out to be a DNS problem for me. I corrected it, but if you can't correct the DNS, try entering in your eqhost.txt file, the ip address instead of eqemulator.net
ie: Host=209.165.244.252:5998

I have the same problem and i tried basicly everything up there and still won't work, still got a debug window out when i was in the server list screen. Does it anybody still have the same problem like i do?

But i am trying to connect to eqemulator.net tho, replacing it with "the" ip address will connect to somewhere else?
