Can't get past the server selection screen (and get the 5e in the dbg.txt)

[Polkan]

- - -Well, I was playing today using characters from the same account in 2 different computers (a laptop and a PC), when suddenly the healer in the laptop LDed (but stayed in the server) and the tank in the PC got killed and the LDed char remained there completely unable to defend himself. Then is when problems started: when trying to log into any account, the game crashes after the server selection screen... in both computers (not trying to load it on both computers at the same time, obviously).

- - -The operating system in both computers is Windows XP Professional Edition with Service Pack 1. Have been using the same EQ installation for almost 3 years for playing SoD.

- - -The error message in English would be something like "eqgame.exe has detected a problem and must be closed.". Here's the dbg.txt:

- - -I've tried running it with and without EQPlayNice. Deleting the Default UI folder and use the Repatch All button from the SoD Patcher. Have also tried the second and third fixes from the 5e fix topic (I don't use EQW). Also tried disconnectiong the router's firewall and restarting the whole thing. Nothing worked so far.

- - -Dunno what happened, but it's working again

 

[Foonie]

Your net was probably overloaded. Running P2P software, or living with someone doing it, will pretty much do so.

 

[Polkan]

- - -But... my eMule is set so it doesn't even use a third of the upload/download capacity, besides I had tried closing it and restarting the router =S

I pretty much don't torrent if I want to play SoD, even with "limits." I get similar errors. Connecting to server has a really quick time out and I don't think we can change that.
