Freeze at Character Create

700zx · #1 11-30-2005, 08:26 AM

When i'm creating a character on the Grand Creation server it freezes after i push the button to confirm my name. The confirm box eventually goes away but nothing happens on my screen and when i try to click back or forward it doesnt respond. I patched my client to 0.6.2, and i have all the ports forwarded to my router. The only expansions i have are luclin and velicious. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes patch all extension from live and apply your patch for 0.6.2

i reinstalled, updated to live, downloaded all the expansions, and patched to 6.2, but its still doing the exact same thing as before. It seems as if its not even talking to the server because when i press get name nothing appears in the box and i have to write my own. Any suggestions?

Mhh that very strange if you have patched for All everquest extension. Are your sure :
you have directx 9.0c ?
Latest drivers for your graphic card ?
If you're are sure about your client and router, the problem is on windows software or hardware.

Have you try on another server ?

I have directx 9c and the latest video drivers. I tried another server and it does exactly the same thing as the grand creation server. Could it be that im installing using an old everquest disc i bought years ago? Should i download a newer version off of eq's site?

shouldnt make a difference if download the one from EQ or install the one from your old cd's as either way, by patching to live will overwrite all of the essential files.

Problem that i had once was eqhardware.ini .. and eqclient.ini, try deleting them. then repatch to live, and backpatch again, then try.

just a thought
