Freeze at Character Create

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

I did what you said and its still a no go. I think its not even talking to the server after i start creating a character. Is there anyway i'd be able to find out?

700zx..... i can't tell on the Grand Creation server, but if you try to log into No PLace Like Home.. i could tell you what the server responce from my end is after you log in

Nadineemu i tryed logging in to your server at around 11:19 Central Time on Dec 3. I tried to create a character named Koko. Same symptoms as the other servers i've tried. All help is appreciated.

I've had that problem several times. I tried different character names at least 5 letters in length and I logged on. I've also found that the faster I create a character, the more likely it is to work.
