Native client joining

[erfg12]

If I use a program like EQW I can join the game just fine. But if I run the client with just "patchme" on an older system running a Win9x kernel the client will get immediately disconnected when trying to enter world.

The system I was testing it on was a Windows 98 laptop with a Wireless G card.

Not sure if this is a server issue or a client issue.

This could just be my laptop. It has a Direct X 6 graphics card, and Trilogy requires Direct X 7. However, Tutorial.exe works fine.

Beta Phase 3 - Direct X 5.2
Beta Phase 4 - Direct X 6
Kunark - Direct X 7
Trilogy - Direct X 7
TAKP (2003?) - Direct X 8

I see the same happen when using PCEm, emulating a Windows98 machine with a Voodoo 2. I can run Tutorial all I want, but if I try to run the main exe and connect to server I get dropped out. I tried using EQW as well but that seemed to hang everything and I hadn't looked into it further

The missing packets are coming from the function Client::Process

EQClassic/World/Source/client.cpp

Line 164 in 3fd1f80
