Logging on problems
Moderators: Lavish Software Team, Moderators
So you cant connect to Sony's servers to patch?When I try and patch the EQ directory I can no longer log onto the website and if I try and log on using just the EQ icon I get error timeout occurred
This is really sounding like internet routing issues. Theo nly thing you can do is keep trying, and/or wait it outAny ideas please?
Ok Hun i will try and explain.
I was playing (2 Boxing) EQ this morning without any problems. Then the server went down for a patch.
After the patch I can no longer log into EQ either via WinEQ 2.12 or via the EQ normal login in.
I did a system restore and tried the old version (pre patch) to see if I could log in and I did.
Therefore whatever is in the patch has prevented me for logging on.
In summary I can get the new files but cant log in??
I have contacted Sony Live and have just had this conversation with them:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please disable anti-virus, all firewalls, pop up blocker and spyware then try again to login.
Adrian: Humm been playing for a while now. Don't like the idea of no antivirus running but I will turn it all off and try. Hope I dont get a virus!!!!!
Adrian: Ok all turned off trying it now
TSR Sam K.: Please enable them back when you are playing the game.
Adrian: file scan complete no updated files
Adrian: clicked accept on 1st page now pressing login button
Adrian: Ok got passed the timeout error trying to log into the server now
TSR Sam K.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Adrian: Ok got a toon logged in?????????? Why has this happened now please nad will I need to do this all the time?
TSR Sam K.: Yes
Adrian: Lol do you know why? it has been ok for over a year with the programs running
TSR Sam K.: Because every patch makes changes with .exe files so your firewall doesn't allow that file to pass through because it thinks it is virus.
Adrian: OK thanks for your help. But just for your info never had to do this b4 despite all the patches in the last year
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I can now log in by disabling all my antivirus and firewall. Hope this helps other players.
Thanks very much for your prompt replies
