Housing issue

[harleygjc]

<p>Over the past few weeks I've had a issue trying to zone into a characters house, it goes as far as waiting for zone server and that's it! at first it was on the odd occasion, now it happens every time, doesn't matter if it's that character own house or a alts with trustee access.</p><p>Guild hall I have no problems, and when I'm in a group waiting for zone server may take a few seconds but always works, it's only when I zone into a house of any size or any zone I get this problem, anyone else been getting this at all?</p>

<p>I have been having this issue also, and it seems to be getting worse.  I like to "visit" to see how other people decorate, and the other night it took me 5 or 6 tries to get into a house and stay there.  You zone in, and see it for a split second, and then it zones you right back out to the entrance.  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.</p>

<p>Sounds alot like that so called bug where you zone into a inst with a grp only to get booted back out when you get in, I don't even get that far! I get to waiting for zone server and that's it! I have to exit out and rerun then my char is in my house.</p><p>I'm also running win 7 64 bit fully upto date, this only happens to me on housing, anything else I can zone either grp or solo with almost no problems, sometimes I get waiting for zone server but never for very long apart from this one type of zone! oddly when I went to tour a house on the thoughts of buying it I had no problem but once I got it it's a case of I may zone in without problems I may not.</p>

Sometimes I can hop between 3 or 4 houses with no trouble. Other times, I can be logged in for a bit, call to hall and get stuck waiting on the zone server.</p>

Glad it's not just me then< oddly enough I tried late yesterday afternoon and zoned into my house twice with no problems! wonder if it was some sort of glitch?

[Jojanne]

<p>Hi</p><p>Maybe this has been fixed, but in case anyone is still having problems, I think I fixed mine.  Check your options, and see if GPU shadows is checked.  Uncheck it if it is.  Since I unchecked that, I haven't had any of the problems I was having before.  Like not zoning into houses, and also, sometimes I would lose the game if I checked something on the internet.  Good luck.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>For those that GPU shadows did the trick for, can you please post your DXDIAG information or open support tickets to attach it to?  I would like to track this down to get every problematic location reported.</p>

<p>Hi</p><p>Thanks for looking into this.  Mine seems to be working, so here is my DXDiag:</p><p>------------------System Information------------------Time of this report: 6/9/2011, 20:09:45

<p>I've checked mine today, and I'm using CPU shadows, I tried zoning to a house today and had zero problems again! but after I joined a grp for TOFS everyone in it got stuck at waiting for zone server while zoning in! seems weird.</p>

[Deveryn]

<p>If you have a custom ui, make sure it's updated. I'm using profit and I had forgotten to update after gu60. I've had no problems with zoning since I fixed that.</p>

[harleygjc]

<p>Only ever used default UI here, and over the last few days I've had no problems at all! just hope it stays that way.</p>

[Deveryn]

<p>I was doing fine too, but it just happened again.</p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>Run through our standard cache clearing instructions and post back with how its doing zoning to and from those zones.</p><p><p>You may want to make backups and then delete the following files and folders:</p><p>cache folder</p><p>eq2_recent.ini</p><p>eq2_default.ini</p><p>EverQuest2.exe</p><p>eq2.ini</p><p>As well as the character specific files, these will appear as such:</p><p>Servername_CharacterName_EQ2_uisettings.ini</p><p>Stationname_characters.ini</p><p>To do this, please follow these directions:</p><p>1. First look for your EverQuest II directory. You can find the default directory in (for Windows XP): C:Program FilesSonyEverQuest II (for Windows Vista/7): C:Program DataSony Online EntertainmentInstalled GamesEverQuest II</p><p>2. Click on MY COMPUTER and then proceed into local disk C:</p><p>3. Navigate your way to the default directory, or your chosen installation directory.</p><p>4. Next look for any files explained above and delete them. </p><p>5. Afterwards, please start EverQuest II to have these files re-downloaded by the patcher.</p><p>If deleting these files does not resolve your issue, you can restore your backed up files and folders and retain your hotkeys, contact lists, and display settings.</p></p>
