I have played on PEQTHC on and off for 8+ years with np. i took a break for around 2 years came back this week and have problems connecting some of my higher level chars. They will crash to login after char select. I have tried on 3 computers and tried my old builds of RoF2 that worked before i took a break also have DL 2 other RoF2 builds they all have the same crash after char select Other servers work fine and lower level chars can login to peqthc even chars on the same account as higher level chars that crash. !/10 tries i get lucky and the higher level char will connect but will crash on next zone. I have also tried on win10 and win 7 install same crash. A firend has tested the char on his computer and connects and zones fine. This is without any MQ2/E3 running. Tested the clients on EZserver and Project laz and they work fine. Also tested on SoD build same crash. Found the problem was my internet connection. i upgraded my internet and had a new line installed running up to the house. problem solved. Thanks everyone for your time.
Look at your eq debugging files. They will be in the EQ client folder with names like dbg.txt. Clear out that file, log in a single working character, log out then move/rename/save that file as the working version. Clear out the file again, log in a single crashing character, log out then move/rename/save that file as the crashing version. Compare the two.
Oh.... I just noticed you are using the same client to play on multiple servers. That's a no no. The files you add/remove/change for one server can cause crashes when playing on another server. You should use unique EQ folders/installs for each game server.

Also check your UiErrors.txt file, in the same EQ folder. The working version receives weather packets 5 seconds after (Items inc) packet. The non-working version is being disconnected from the server 28 seconds after (Items inc) packet with no other reason given. Something is happening in those 5 to 28 seconds. Google search for the last two lines of the non-working version doesn't yield promising results. I'm at a loss. Perhaps the server developers over on EQEmulator.org can shed some light on the problem.
