Autologin doesn't log in the last toon (or 2)

[Kannkor]

See the second post for a link to a work around.

When you use Autologin, it opens the correct amount of sessions, but not all characters get logged in.

Cause: When Everquest2.exe is loading, it tries to connect to lp.soe.com.

Yes, they are still trying to connect to soe.com. To make matters worse, when it fails to connect (because that doesn't exist anymore), it waits, then tries again. Guess what happens when that fails? It waits and tries again.... SIXTEEN TIMES, then finally gives up. This is why there are delays now in starting up sessions.

There's not really a fix for it. For the tech people, you can try using hosts file to void it, but there appears to be a wait inside the code, so having it time out instantly doesn't seem to have much effect.

As a temporary work around, you can do the following:
Edit the following file:
Innerspace/scripts/EQ2OgreCommon/OgreAutoLogin/AutoLoginSettings.xml
Be careful when editing this file. If you delete anything extra, it will break it.

Line 10 and 11 are comments that explain how to edit line 12.
<!-- This amount of time should be LONGER than it takes for the session to load, then for ISXEQ2 and ISXOgre to become ready. -->
<!-- 100 = 10s -->
<Setting Name="TimeToWaitAfterLoadingASession">190</Setting>

In my example, the 190 is the number we want to change. Change it to what? Whatever works basically. 190 is 19 seconds from the time it tries to launch the session, to it being deemed acceptable.
