Question on current login issue

Alby · #1 03-24-2009, 11:07 AM

Currently when trying to log in, I see a blank screen with no servers to select from. If I exit out, and re-login anywhere from 15-50 times over and over, eventually servers will show up that I can select from. Is this how things are set up currently to combat the previous issues with the login, can we expect this to change with the new login that's being worked on - or is this something that only I am experiencing?

the server list structure design is terrible from the EQ developers, I was having this issue with my LS as well until I was able to re-discover the base structure.

Sometimes if you notice the server list comes up and you see user counts on world servers with strange values like 82435824358 or -328523858253 this means the server list is offset and the IP address of the server is interfering with the structure.

As the public eqemu server allows green and legend servers ( i think ) this makes it more complicated and breaks easier.

I've talked to a few friends and it appears they're not getting this problem that I'm getting.

This only popped up 3 or 4 days ago - I've played Emulator for 2 years and never had the issue before.

Can anyone suggest any type of fix?

Basically I'll log in, and the server select screen is just blank, with the expansion numbers scrolling by. I'll log back out, and back in repeatedly for maybe 2-5 minutes until I get the server select screen to actually list servers.

Its the same bug that image listed above. Only person that can fix it is Doodman. Our Loginserver doesn't have this issue.

Yea, I unfortunately don't understand what the majority of that means. Is there something that I need to do to help align my IP to the base structure?

The friends I talked to said they have logged straight through without problems the last few days, so it seems like it's a problem with me.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do personally, this is a bug within the structure that the eqemu login server is using. I decided not to bother with green or (preferred) servers and legend servers because that seemed to stem this issue further, so keeping just to regular servers has helped me keep the LS I made stable (including the minilogin).

Your position in the server list can make this happen usually. Also in general if the server list is corrupt, the EQ client hates parsing it.

I see - so it's just a bug that randomly affects some users? I've found 12 other users of the TZ/VZ that seem to be having the problem too.
