Hello currently keep getting the timrout message for the last 2-3 hours. Played emu for probably 3 years and have never got this message. Happens on login, not on the server select. Any advice? Thank you in advance

I have pretty much tried everything I could think of ( restart computer, check short cut and eq host file. All is well just still getting the same error message. Doesnt matter what account I log into( different station names same emu account)

Kk went thru the frequently asked questions and found the one about the time out. The message takes only about 10-15 secs to pop up which means i didnt patch to live (I know I didnt). Redid the eqhost.txt file to see if maybe somehow a space or something. Still get the same message. Any have any advice could u pm me or post here thank you

Well, if it worked before and doesn't work now then there's something wrong with your computer or your connection.

Did you install any new software recently? Have you checked to make sure your firewall or anti-virus isn't blocking it? Have you rebooted your modem and router?

You might want to try restarting your modem and router. If that still doesn't work, you could try resetting your router to factory defaults and setting it back up again. Certain routers have issues with having multiple entries in the port forwarding configs and can cause weird random connection issues like that (had it happen multiple times to me on my old Linksys).

Thanks a ton for the responses, restarted my modem once already. Im gona go back over it all again. I was just makin sure it was nothing on emu's part. I will post back if I fix it or not so if this happens to someone else they can reference back in the future

Reset my modem and redownloaded my internet connection( comcast ) it finally did the trick. My power went out during that hurricane down the east coast. Guessing when my power went out it fucked with my internet connection.
