First of all, thanks in advance for any help.
When trying to run SoD, I can't seem to get past the server select screen...
I run the patcher, no problem. It fires up the game, shows the **** intros, etc, goes to the red screen(guy holding the two axes, connect button, options button, etc), and I click connect. This goes to the login screen. I type my password, press enter, no problem. Now we're at the server selection screen. I click on SoD Malath Server, then click Play or press enter, and the screen disappears for a moment, showing my desktop. 3-5 seconds later, the program acts like its restarting. It re-displays the **** online entertainment logo, and after pressing enter/spacebar a few times, the red screen reappears. I click connect again, go to the login screen again, retype my password again, and it takes me back to the server selection again. This time it displays the error 1017 popup. Suggestions include repatching, and the problem is only temporary. I close the popup error (click ok or press enter), and try to enter the Malath server. I wind up back at the begining. It just repeats the entire process without ever getting into the game. Repatching changed nothing.
It has been about 2 months (give or take) since I have played prior to this week, but I never had an issue like this before. I have managed to logon about 3 times in the past few days after spending at least half an hour trying to connect. This afternoon took over an hour to finally connect (230 +/- on the server). Zoning causes a disconnection as well, which is new to me. I have not changed any files in the eq folders, just the patcher.
Not sure what other info might be needed, but here it is:
I noticed in another thread this command: ping 72.55.164.91 -n 50
Ping statistics for 72.55.164.91:
Packets: Sent = 50, Received = 50, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 1429ms, Maximum = 2250ms, Average = 1923ms
this is at 9pm eastern time.
I tried various times of the day, when the server was busy and when the server had about 150 online.
Finals are over and I'm dying to play again! Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!
