Zoning issues

    Hi

    The past few days I've been victim of zoning issues. Almost 60-70% of my zoning attempts end in character selection screen.

    It wouldn't be to irritating if we had not the message saying I have already have a character in the world and preventing me to zone in at once....

    Many players on Thurgadin servers have the same problem. Any idea to solve it ?

    I've been having these problems on Thurgadin for weeks too, but I've finally resolved it.

    I recently moved over to Virgin Media from Sky Broadband to take advantage of the massive download speeds of fibre to the property. This seemed to be when my problems started. I noticed when running the Task Manager and then the Performance Monitor, that my wi-fi was peaking a lot when zoning and using the in-game network monitor, I could see I was getting a lot of packet loss.

    I've now resolved the issue by installing a network cable from my PC directly to the router, therefore bypassing the wi-fi altogether. So far, since I did this yesterday, I've not had a single crash to Character Select and my zoning times in general are a lot quicker.

    If you're using wi-fi but it's possible to connect a cable directly to your router, do it.

    Thanks

    It could have been a good idea, nevertheless my router uses an ethernet cable.

    Posting here again since i didnt get any answer for last message.
    Same issue as Torquem and many others... Could someone at least try to investigate the issue or should we just quit game?

    Does the game hang up while you're zoning, or is it almost an immediate kick to character select?

    When this happens, how long have you been logged into the game - on average - or does it vary?

    I'm a french customer of Orange ISP. Disabling wifi on my box seems to have solved the zoning issue.

    Almost immediate and i have to wait 1-2min.

    Zoning issue is back for me :/

    I guess my box wifi is not the responsible so. Yesterday I was just lucky.........

    Open your task manager before you log in, when the crash happens check to see how much memory EQ2 is using up. That sounds similar to the crashes caused by the memory leak (though that generally went straight to desktop) - which in itself seems to be an intermittent issue for the people that have it.

    It never hurts to figure out what it isn't, to help narrow down what it is.

    People with my ISP (Orange) seem to have a lot of issues with different games. Their support asks for a server IP to try to investigate the issue. How i can find it please?
