Trevius, you think this is a multi-core issue? I have had some problems with dual core CPUs, but they were mostly related to graphics (the characters looked like cardboard cut-outs, as if the animation was only showing 1 out of every 10 frames). The AMD fix resolved it for me.

What he is experiencing is something I notice as well, but I assume it's related to the login server because it only to me happens when the website can't be reached. I get the same behavior on most of my machines during peak hours, but never for the duration he's experiencing. I often get those messages, but enough spamming of my username/password eventually get me in.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
Still having the same problems.

I am now getting this message. I can connect to the server loging screen and there will be servers listed.

But. When I click my preferred server, this always comes up.


So now what

[trevius]

Look in your everquest/logs/ directory and post the end of the dbg.txt file. You need to start EQ, try to log in, then try to connect to a server and right after you get that error, then get the last 20 lines or so from the dbg.txt file and post it here. Don't close EQ or restart it before you get the debug info, or it will be the wrong info that we don't need.

Also, did you try the compatibility mode changes? Those normally help with vista issues. If that doesn't work, it might be a resolution issue that is pretty common. Try different desktop and EQ resolution combinations until you find one that works and go from there experimenting until you find one that works that you can deal with playing on :P

Also, make sure to try other servers to verify it isn't an issue just connecting to that particular one. And, you don't live in a Dorm or anything that might have a proxy do you?

So thats the dbg.txt file...

I only made it to the server select screen once, so there that is. I couldn't click on anything becaues the servers were blank. I've tried the compatibility and resolution changes but nothing works.

[tmitchell]

I've tried clicking other servers and logging into them but they don't work either.

I'm not in a dorm , but I do have a wireless router I'm connected to.

Nothing in that log that would indicate why you are having a problem. When you uninstalled EverQuest, did you check to see if the directory was completely gone? If the uninstaller left some configuration files behind, they could affect your client but I doubt that is the issue but it's worth a shot if you are out of ideas.
