Greetings all, i am trying to get the game running on my laptop so i can box on Aradune. But after i log in a char no matter what server it is after a few min i will get you have been disconnected.. I thought it was because the laptop was on wifi so i hardwired it and still getting the problem.. I went into firewall setting to make sure the game was listed in the let thru app. During this whole time i have no issues on desktop , the char will stay logged in np so i dont think its the internet.. any help is appreciated..
Having this same issue as well. Fresh PC, fresh install from the website as of yesterday. Logging onto a char and usually within the first minute I get the 'You have been disconnected' and kicked to server select. Most I've lasted so far was 15 minutes. Reinstalled 3 times but to no avail. Doesn't seem to matter which character or which zone, though I've only been trying on Agnarr.
*Aradune server, not Agnarr. Tried other servers since then, same issue. One PC, one account, can't stay in game at all. File checked, made sure EQ is bypassing firewall. Any other suggestions?
Make sure you have Directx9c installed, EQ does not like the newer versions. It tends to be that which gets overlooked on a fresh install. Also check firewalls. If your using a custom UI, you can also try using default.
I've reinstalled DX9 and don't use a custom UI. Not having any other issues with other games or connections. When it does kick me from game, it's not a slow disconnect but an instant kick from game ~60 seconds after logging in with a disconnect message and then straight to server select.
A common misconception is that you need to install DX 9.0"c" to run older DX9 games. Not so. This version has been superseded by the DX Redist (June 2010) which has all of the DX9.0c files, and more. This installer is the best option if DirectX files are corrupted. Download here: Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010)
*** First, Exclude your Everquest folder from Real-Time Antivirus scans. Google it! *** (You might want to check your Protection History and ensure that no EQ files have been quarantined too!) If that didn't work then check this out... 1. Close down the game on the desktop. 2. Find the current active directory from which EQ is running on the desktop. 3. Find and copy the eqclient.ini file from the desktop to some medium you can access on the laptop. (Flash drive or email yourself a copy!) 4. Ensure the laptop is freshly rebooted and all patched up. 5. Find the current active directory from which EQ is running on the laptop. 6. Find the existing eqclient.ini file and rename it to old_eqclient.ini. 7. Copy the desktop's eqclient.ini file to the EQ folder of the laptop. 8. Run the EQ Patcher but don't start the game. 9. Run the EQ Game Configuration Utility and ensure all graphics settings are adjusted to the laptop's optimum setting. 10. Give EQ another try on the laptop. If it still doesn't help then look for Internet-related software running on the laptop that may be interfering with EQ. For example I found a post on reddit where someone claimed that running the Discord client was causing EQ disconnects. Any sort of anti-malware, anti-virus, VPN, or web proxy/filtering software could cause this. From that point it could get difficult like you've got faulty RAM or a bad Ethernet driver. The free IOBIt Driver Booster 7.5 could help ensure all your hardware drivers are up to current revisions. Let the board know if you find a solution please!!!
This was one of the first solutions I came across and made sure to download/install. I think this was the exact link I had tried first, but ran it again just to be safe. Thank you for the suggestion, but still disconnected. This PC I'm using is so new, I don't have any antivirus software installed yet besides the generic Windows one. So I went to your next suggestion: I followed the steps (more or less), but when I rebooted/repatched, no new eqclient.ini file was made. Did a file check, went through Configuration again, then tried logging back in. Still disconnected. For your last suggestions, I shut down Discord just to be safe, but still disconnected. Tried wifi and wired ethernet connections, still disconnected. Sadly, I can log into EQ on my laptop that I installed just ~3 weeks prior and be fine.
I am also still working on the issue, the laptop play any other game fine and my connection is a 60dwn.. i did uninstall the killer network stuff and reinstalled that didnt help either. And no matter if i run it from steam, or direct eq download it still disconnects after i been in game about 1 min. i even priortized my cpucores i found a guide just in case. This is very aggrevating.
OP in this thread has tried: Reinstalling. Installing DX9. Updating drivers. logging in to different servers, characters and zones. Hard resets. Changing power settings. Ensure the proper graphics device was selected. Switching from wireless to wired. Power cycling modem and router. They can log in fine, zone and otherwise play. But only for a minute or two. Then black disconnect screen and back to server select. Is there any solution?

I disabled the AV entirely believing this would negate any issues related to it. But I went ahead and revisited the settings again anyway. I added the exclusions to the EQ folder and by some amount of luck, I have found this resolution works for me. Thanks for chiming in! Solved: Windows 10 PC Settings > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Virus & Threat protection settings > scroll down to Exclusions > added EQ folder I've stayed logged in game for 30 minutes and counting.
Boneshadow! It looks like we have a possible solution if you're running into the same problem. See the post immediately above this one for the solution. Good luck!!!
I've been having a similar problem, except my game closes completely, not just to server select. Going to give this a shot in two hours when I get into Aradune to see if it helps.
sadly i tried that , and it didnt work.. going down the list the tech guy from daybrack told me to do.. atm i am doing a clean boot and just running eq to see if it works.
