I've been experiencing an issue for the past 24 hours. Every time I log on I get to play for 0-5 minutes before It looks like I go linkdead. At which point a window comes up saying something along the lines of Trying loggon server 1.... all the way through 7 or so before It says could not connect to a loggin server. the server may be busy try again in a few minutes. My wireless internet is stable when on other online games and I was on just fine on friday. Anyone familiar on what the issueis or how I might fix this?
I have been having the same exact issues since Friday night. Like the OP, my internet is good and I am not getting any problems with any other online games I have. Contacted Customer Support and they suggested I Validate Game Assests from the Launch Pad. That did not work for me and have no idea on what to do.
I've been trying a couple of things. Reinstalling eq2 did not help. I thought maybe it had something to do with a firewall issue. I went to my windows firewall and It is giving me an error message. "There was an error opening the windows firewall with advanced security snap-in". So I tried doing a system restore from a few weeks ago, however it was not allowing it because of some corrupted file that could not be restored. I'm worried its a virus, I ran McAfee security scan, Malwarebytes, microsoft security essentails and CCleaner, none of which seemed to do much good. I don't know if these two issues are related or if they are seperate problems.

Have tried a few things myself and what seemed to be the problem was Mcafee Security program. When I unistalled and reinstalled the program everquest 2 seemed to be running smoothly with no problem. Was able to play fine for about an half-hour (haven't had the chance to play longer).
I am only aware of two firewall programs on this computer. Windows firewall and McAfee Firewall. I am assuming that Windows firewall is the active one which may be the one with the issue. When I bring up security center for McAfee It says Firewall status protected but the McAfee firewall is listed as off and if I try and hit on it switches immediately back to off. Windows Firewall does not appear on my Services list though. In relation to the event viewer what should I be looking for there. thanks
