Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

I can see you try to log on, any luck?

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

I'm still not having any luck.

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

Maybe that's the port? If some router on the way does something to those packets it may cause problems. 8888 is a napster port I think. Some other port may work better...

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

Hmmm, it would be nice if changing the port fixed the problem. A cute magic trick=) I still cannot log in - generally nation, password, then "bad packet" crash.

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

Yep same here. No firewall on my end.

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

Oh yeah something weird going on... I tried to connect yet again, and while waiting for it to get to the password prompt I went and did something else.

When I came back I saw it was at the password prompt and the text "isnt that what I sa" was entered at the prompt (not by me, by remote persons unkonwn). Weird... anyway, it crashed again after that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I figure your server port is conflicting with some other service you are running.

Run away!!! It's a ghost in the machine!!!

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

Aww geeze... now where did I put my proton pack? Dratted ectoplasmic hooligans, I'll show them what for!

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

OK you have a new port in game 1.
Port: 8890

Hope this works better.

Re: Shepherds of Creation Scenario
 

Oh yes, that's better all right. Much faster response and straight into the game.

So what else does use port 8888?
