Server Connection Issues

[Chanus]

Are you getting an Error Code?

If it's 1017 (I think that's the number), you may need to reinstall your game client (not the server, but Everquest itself). The only changes you should make to a fresh install (of Titanium or Secrets of Faydwer at least) are to move nektulos.eqg and lavastorm.eqg to a backup folder, and make sure your eqgame.exe shortcut has patchme on the end of it.

(Properties > Target: "C:\...\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme) (include the quotes)

If your client gets patched it won't be able to connect.

ok i moved those two files to a seperate folder (that wasn't listed in the wiki... is it actually required?).
Get error 1017. Cannot login to the everquest server. you may need to re-run the update patch. repeatedly seing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the patch server. this is usually temporary.

The game client is a fresh install, just done today on a machine that has never had EQ on it.
