Really weird EQ login problem
Edit: For posterity, the problem is a bug with skipping launcher and account names with hyphens and underscores. See: Confirmed - Account with special character unable to login | Page 2 | EverQuest Forums
Original Issue:
So, I tried to login to an account that I haven't logged in to for several months, maybe half a year or so, and it would just cycle at the login screen.
I use MQ2Autlogin, password in there is correct. I also use Innerspace, but I don't think that matters for this.
So, I launch the trouble character, MQ2Autologin tries to log in, eventually the "please wait" dialog goes away no error and I'm still at the login screen. MQ2Autologin dutifully continues to try.
So, I removed MQ2 from the equation, ran the EQ Client, tried to login typing in credentials, same thing, only I get an "Error - Timed out" now that MQ2Autologin must have been closing before I could see it or something.
So, I removed skipping the launcher. I normally launch the game via Innerspace with the `patchme` command line argument. Using launcher, I can load the account just fine.
All other toons are fine, even other old accounts I hadn't logged in to in ages I tried just to see.
Any idea where to even start troubleshooting this? Seems like a weird EQClient issue. I deleted the eqls-playerData.ini for this character. Not sure what else I should try.
