Constantly getting kicked to character select (BG?)

[Killque]

<p>Issue: When zoning into a Battleground match or into Champions Respite, I am consistantly getting kicked to character select on one or both of my characters (boxing 2 accounts). When attempting to log back in, I recieve the message "You have a character in the world, please try again in a few minutes" and after that message stops being displayed it says something like "Could not find your character, please re-run the patcher".</p><p>Resolution: Not a full resolution, but work around is to close out of Everquest completely and re-run the patcher. This will get me back in the game, but the isssue will soon re-appear once I zone into a BG or Champions respite (seems to happen about 50% of the time).</p><p>Troubleshooting steps:</p><p>1. Played on 1 character at a time to determine if boxing was the issue - Issue still persists.2. Rebooted both computers - Issue still persists.3. Forced patcher scan files - Issue still persists.4. Tried several different computers to see if it was a configuration/driver etc thing (I have 6 computers that I play EQ on). Issue still persists.</p>

<p>Update: Attempted to log both of my characters in this morning. I selected the character I wanted from the drop down on the launch pad and clicked play. The character logged in to Champions Respite with no delay. The other account (seperate computer) I logged in the same way and instead of going to Champions Respite, it went to the Character Selection screen. When I selelcted the character and clicked play, I received the message "Server did not respond ina timely manner and may be backlogged. Please try again in a few minutes" . I clicked ok and it tried again and I recieved a different message "The server could not find your character. Please exit and rerun the patcher."</p><p>It is 7:00 Central time and not typically busy on the servers around this time. Only one Champions Respite and 40 people in it.</p><p>Closed EQ2, relaunched the patcher and logged in via the method above with no issues.</p>

I'd also make sure you have <em>EverQuest II  </em>set as an exception to all antivirus/firewall programs.</p>
