Error 1017 after Server Select

Thanks for the suggestions. I am that heat isn't the issue, as I dustered my PC just last month. I built the PC myself and inspected it when I last cleaned it and everything seemed fine. Plus, I figure if it can handle Vanguard, it can handle EQ with 0 issues. I do think it could still be a hardware issue, maybe something to do with my SLI setup, I dunno. But if that was the case, it should be consistantly not working, instead of being random.

As far as a virus goes, I don't run anti-virus software, but I doubt that is the issue. I have seen 0 other issues on this PC, and I don't see any funny processes running in taskmanager. Also, I don't download anything dangerous to this PC, anything that might be risky get downloaded on my secondary PC and scanned for viruses there.

Hopefully the Windows rebuild will fix it at least.

Oh, and I also wanted to add that if I try using Quick Connect at the Login screen, instead of just using the Login and selecting a server, the game crashes and reports a problem with eqgame.exe. As long as I select and server and hit play, it just either goes black for 30 seconds at the server select screen, or just freezes up at the server select screen, for 30 seconds and both of them go back to the login screen after the freeze is done.

Have you tried this yet;

Yes, Angelox, I have already tried that. I referenced it in my original post, but didn't specify that I was following the directions from the thread you linked. I don't think the issues with the eqlsPlayerData.ini matter unless you are running your own server on the same LAN you are trying to play from. But, I did make a batch file to replace it as stated in that thread.

I want to mention that I really appreciate all of the suggestions people have made in this thread!

I formatted my hard drive this morning and reinstalled Windows XP. When I get home from work, I will finish getting windows ready, and then install Titanium again. Hopefully a completely fresh install will get this working. If that doesn't work, I will be completely stumped... But, I am pretty sure it will. It has been a long time since I have done a rebuild, so it was about time anyway. I can't wait to get EQEmu working properly, so I can start focusing on playing instead of troubleshooting, LOL.

I am going to be playing on Darktides server, BTW. So keep a lookout for me!

Well, this is definitely getting frustrating...

I reinstalled windows and loaded all of my normal applications and drivers like I would on any fresh install. Finally loaded up titanium and followed the steps again to connect to eqemu. I logged into EQ and was surprized that I got right into the server on the first try. I was in and playing for about an hour, and then I tried to gate to PoK... My computer completely froze up and I had to power cycle it. Once window loaded, I tried titanium again, but this time I got an error message saying something about unable to connect to server when I clicked "play" from server select. I tried quick connecting and that didn't make a difference, then it went back to doing what it was doing when I started this thread...

I am going to try this on one of my other PCs and see if it will run on them. if not, I either have a network issue of some sort, or somehow my titanium package is different than everyone elses...
