Log in problem while using Hughesnet satellite internet

Sure you can play EQlive with a 1k ping. EQEMu wasnt written for that kind of lag.

ideas: Get a better internet connection or a better cell phone company.

as devn00b said, I ran into this issue when I was debugging the world server.

We have this internal timeout on EQ Connections in terms of trying to determine what client you are running. If the first packet takes too long you time out anyway, thus high ping connections will frequently fail.

Edit:

The timeout is STREAM_IDENT_WAIT_MS in common/EQStreamIdent.h
Some server owners might want to try extending the ident wait from 10s to something more like 60s.

Thanks for the reply guys! At least now I know what's going on, even if it sucks.

Yeah, this place is out in the woods about 50 miles from any kind of better internet connection, and the cell phone I have is the only carrier that works at all out here, so kinda screwed for playing here I guess.

I even tried logging in with the cell connection then switching over to the Hughesnet, but it didn't like that lol.
