WinEQ 2.0 unable to initialize....

[Chaid]

EverQuest support for WinEQ 2.0 was unable to initialize at this time (final stage). Please try again later. OR I will get a message that says something like "EQplaynice was unable to initialize) OR it will plain crash and I'll get the windows error message stating that the program could not be started or something and it gives me the option to "SEND" the crash to windows. Anyway, those are the 3 most common problems I have trying to use WinEQ 2.0 for Everquest 1. I usually have to start it 3 or 4 times before I can finally get in.
Thanks for your time.

I'll add my 2 cents to this. I am experiencing the same problem on three different boxes. Each of them has a different hardware configuration. When I get to them this evening I will post my sysinfo.txt from them to see if I can help us figure this problem out.

At first I thought this could be related to my specific setup, but after reloading my laptop two nights ago and having this happen to three different setups, I'm thinking it's code related.

Anyhow, happening here too. Not just to you.

It is most likely network related. If you lose connection to our server during startup, then it will fail. However, without knowing the exact messages given (slyone...) I can't offer detailed assistance, or if it was code related (note: there would literally be hundreds more posts...), I couldn't locate the problem.

If you are connecting to your home network over a wireless connection, make sure the connection is good quality. It can also be caused by temporary routing problems from your ISP and throughout the internet. The signal strength in your cable modem can also be a factor, as poor signal could cause packet loss, which could result in the same behavior.
