Blank server selection in high latency or low bandwidth connections

[Figback65]

That happens to me as well when my bandwidth is Macedonia from downloads. I do not use the launcher but I do use wineq.

Edit: Macedonia = Maxed out lol

I have also experienced this occasionally. It has been happening for years I guess.

Bump

Problem is getting worse and worse.

I simply cannot login because of my wireless situation.


I'm almost positive that the blank sever list is due to high latency or low bandwidth connections.


Is connection pooling enabled on the login server? Can we get some kind of response back on performance issues as Im not the only one experiencing this problem.

Connection pooling? EverQuest uses UDP traffic which is fire and forget there is no 'connection'. As far as the database connection pooling that is not the problem here. It is a defect in the server listing and likely manifests in high latency because keep alive packets may be screwing up the flow of data.

Also the best way to avoid this problem right now is to use the public EQEmuLS if you host your own server. If the server is hosted by another admin you might be able to convince them to do a cross integration (very few will probably do that though).
