Error 1017. Router problem?
 

I get error 1017 when attempting to log in to any server. Please help.

I have:
Followed install instructions perfectly
tried updating router firmware, linksys router
tried turning on/off router firewall
tried turning on/off router uPNP
tried turning on/off router DMZ
tried forwarding all ports
antivirus and windows firewall are disabled

I have windows XP service pack 2
I remember steam used to have a problem where people could not play with newer versions of their router's firmware. I wonder if that's the problem here.

#1 don't play from the steam folder. Get a clean download then copy it out to another folder so you do not get screwed if the steam package changes.

#2 Steam has nothing to do with connecting to ANY emu server. You should have a shortcut directly to the eqgame.exe file. If you are doing anything through steam, you are doing it wrong.

I dont play any steam games. I was just remember how steam used to be from 2 years ago.

sorry for telling you this - but for making 3 pots about same thing in 3 threads... usually gets 3 bans 3 days each :D


PS. Ok bad joke... sorry you having problems, but triple-posting is not a solution neither...

Your eq install doesnt match the current version of the emulator.

He mentioned steam problems, so one can assume he is using SoD and did not move it from the steam folder and it got patched / changed on him.

No, I don't use steam. I have titanium.

what's in your eqhost.txt file?

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Check in your everquest/logs folder for a file named dbg.txt. Open that file and post that date that it shows at the top of it here. That will tell us if you are on the right version or not. Otherwise, your best bet is to probably uninstall Titanium completely, delete the everquest folder completely, then reinstall Titanium from the CDs, just like it mentions in the FAQ in my sig.

I have also tried disabling the 2nd core of my dual core cpu by going to start menu, run, msconfig, boot.ini, advanced optoins, /numproc=1

I can play Everquest on another PC in my home network, an old single core computer, but still no luck on my original dual core PC.

I've also tried to get it to run on one core by making a shortcut to runfirst.exe with this as the target:
C:\Path to EQ\EverQuest\RunFirst.exe "eqgame.exe patchme".
Still same error. Any help is appreciated.
