I haven't been on discord yet.. 
 
..but, I would start with ensuring that you have the correct zlib dll. 
 
 
If it's not from 2019, I wouldn't trust it to be correct. 
 
Make sure that you're using the one acquired from the eqemu_server.pl download option. 
 
 
The new vcpkg method seems to install a zlib dll from 2018 into the build directory that seems to cause this issue. 
 
If you do a select all -> copy -> paste from build to server install, and this dll is present in build, it will overwrite your current server copy. 
 
 
As well, any older dependency-related copy will do it too. 
 
The issue is related to build flags (mostly) and forces the encryption to operate in single-thread mode. 
 
The copy obtained through the eqemu_server download is known to be correctly flagged (as of the my commit to that repo.)
