Normally having trouble connecting to servers is either a dual core issue or an issue with your version of EQ. If you are not running EQ Titanium, you will not be able to connect to all servers. It has to be a fresh install straight from the discs without any patching at all. Also, Secrets of Faydwer will work on a few servers including PEQ and Storm Haven if you have that instead of Titanium.

Maybe describing your actual symptoms in better detail will help us figure it out. You get logged into the server select screen, then select a server and try to connect to it and the screen goes black and eventually goes back to the Login Screen? If that isn't what happens, please explain exactly what does and any error messages you get.
That is what happens exactly and it happens fairly quick, it doesnt hang at all when it goes black, maybe 1-3 seconds between me clicking join server and it kicking me back to the log on screen.

All my drivers are up to date, how can i disable my audio before getting in game ill try that

Did that with the resolution, and with affinity set to core 0. The install is fresh of the titanium cds with no patching what so ever.


NM turning off sound doesnt help either.

Does this happen on all servers or have you only been trying 1 particular server? I recommend trying PEQ or Storm Haven as I know for sure those should work perfectly fine. That was we can at least rule out the server as being at fault.

What OS are you running? Sounds like it is still some type of port block problem. Are you sure you don't have Windows Firewall running or any other type of program that might block anything at all?
