Hey guys I purchased The Shadow Odyssey Box Set in hopes of trying out the EQ2 Emulator and after installing using the simple guide here, I connected to the TessEq2 server . I can't seem to play more than 5 minutes at a time and the game will lock up .. usually when I click on something .. npc etc. I looked at the alertlog.txt and this is what I found:

build="SOEBuild=5040" version="SOEVersionString=2008/8/15 11:50:48" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp03_rgn_greater_faydark" loc="-91.60 -42.19 -687.43" performance="0" alert="E:\dev\eq2\game\client\src\GameScene.cpp(16925): CRC missmatch in EqCreateGhostCmd state buf."
build="SOEBuild=5040" version="SOEVersionString=2008/8/15 11:50:48" build_type="USER OPTIMIZED" ls_address="none" zone="exp03_rgn_greater_faydark" loc="-91.60 -42.19 -687.43" performance="0" alert="E:\dev\eq2\game\gamecommon\client\CompressedXOR.cpp(243): Bogus compressed data. This is normally caused by mismatched client and server."

I thought "out of the box" Shadow Odyssey was supported?

It is supported. If an incompatible client tries to connect, at the login screen you'll get a message that your client is not compatible, and tell you to update using the patcher. If you managed to log on to a server, then your client is compatible. The errors you're looking at are probably some kind of bug.

Those are very similar to the issues I was having as well in another thread, I believe some things were addressed that helped it so I wouldn't crash as "frequent".

Is the thread.
