Connection Problems: Widespread, across all servers and not just me

Did you ever try different video cards?

And, did you ever try any of the dual core CPU fixes linked from the FAQ in my sig? If that PC runs a dual core, then you definitely have things to set to make it work properly with EQ.

Yep, tried HD3870, 8800GS, 8800GTS 320, and 9800GX2.

Tried the run-first program and everything as well, it doesn't make sense that I've run EQ/Emu on dual core for 4 years and had no problems until randomly one day on one rig :(

Literally rebuilt the rig and installed a new OS on a new drive and a new install of EQ and it STILL does it, makes no sense whatsoever.

I'll try a Pentium 4 631 (single core) and see if that helps, but last I used that CPU was going for 7Ghz under dry ice so it probably had 1.9-2.05vcore through it...we'll see if its alive :lol:

Well...bumped up my overclock on the E8600 and stress tested all night...randomly before class I say "oh what the hell" and give it a shot. Emulator opens up and runs just fine

Randomly stopped working, randomly started working... I don't have a clue.

But I'm back

Just kidding...worked fine yesterday, today it does the same thing again, no changes to the system whatsoever.
