I haven't played this game in years. Since returning a few days back, I have been disconnecting constantly. I thought it might be my bad internet connection, but no even when internet is good, it still disconnects. And sometimes repeatedly in a row. I have to wait for it to log out my character from the world, then it attempts to connect to the world only to be met with the black screen "You have been disconnected". Sometimes I get into the game briefly. Then it disconnects again. Occasionally, I can play for a few hours before this happens. But i disconnects quite frequently. And usually, when it starts doing it, it does it a lot in a row. Not sure why.
What server are you playing on? Are you boxing? If you are boxing are you doing so on one PC or multiple PC? Is your desktop set to the same resolution as the non windowed mode resolution you are using? I recall a lot of gfx cards don't like it if the two are not the same. Other things to try: Right Mouse button Click the EQ Icon, select Properties then compatibility then put a check in the box for "disable full screen optimizations" hit apply then run as administrator the first time you log in Run a file check from the EQ Launcher (HOW? - https://help.daybreakgames.com/hc/e...73-How-do-I-validate-game-files-in-EverQuest-) Download & install a fresh copy of Direct X 9c (LINK - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109) Download & install the latest C++ runtimes (LINK - https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads) Check what Graphics hardware you are using & uninstall the old drivers & re-install the latest WHQL drivers for it or a new copy of the current drivers if you already have the latest ones. Also rarely causes a crash problem but worth doing anyway for better performance is to add eqgame.exe & LaunchPad.exe to your anti-virus & firewall exceptions list.
Is it all zones, or just cobalt scar (cov)? Bristlebane has been having that issue in CS for many people, if not everyone.
if you are on a tlp server, there is code in place that will do this when pressing keys eratically(spamming). this is most likely what you are witnessing if you are on one of the tlps. as for live, im not certain, have not had any problems lately myself.
On Bristlebane, I thought I would try to pick up some of the underwater collects. That was interrupted by the blank screen -- You have been disconnected. Two days. Decided to go across to W W. This took several re-log-ins. Made it and continued uninterrupted.
