Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Someone else has this problem?
However since I've only 2 provinces, this isn't affecting a lot the game. |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
I have to put up a second game without closing the first in order to connect. It has been like this for the past few turns.

Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Took me four tries to get in, but didn't need a second game. Probably just needs a restart. |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
restart generally does it, but i do have a lot of luck w/ opening up a dupe of the connection, when this happens. just another click on the shortcut http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Yes, I haven't been able to get into this game either (the only game with this problem).
I haven't been able to try a duplicate of the connection because I actually have to reboot my PC most of the time after trying to connect (can't alt tab out, etc.). Glad to here others are having problems but not glad to hear that people are getting in, I'm sure my position in the game is very compromised as I have not been able to connect in days.

for instance, here is one of my shortcuts: E:\games\dominions2\dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr 80.161.86.108 --port 2298 -m --res 1065 804 --clickvol 0 (those are double dashes, except in front of the m, which is a single dash to turn off music) to create a shortcut just copy and paste (to the desktop) a copy of your domII shortcut, then rename to the game name, then rightclick "properties" and change "target" the --res xxx yyy command creates it in a window of the specified dimensions (since i run my desktop at 1152 by 864, the window created is just the right size for me) |

really, whomever owns/hosts the game needs to stop and restart it ASAP.

Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Thanks Panther!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I made the assumption that if I can't get in, nobody could get in!!! I might as well go AI now...Unless its worth salvaging, but highly doubtful since I haven't been in for several days Arch, thanks for the tips. I've only used shortcuts for games not on mosehansen but will begin doing so now. Krool |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Arch, that worked. I was able to get in and set myself to AI.
Panther, you were the victor in our battle. Good luck, and I'll see you in our other game! Krool |

Oh, thats not even funny. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
But too late, I already switched it to AI. I got in Last night (thanks to everyone's advice) and it was a sad state of affairs for me. And to think, I chose this war!!! Krool |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Ah, I do so love a good steady ally. |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Oh oh, I'm being abused by Cainehill. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Seriously, I could not get in for several days, and when I did (thanks to the advice here), there was nothing left of me. I did not go AI until I reviewed the situation, believe me... I will generally be in for the long haul, but I had few provinces left, few troops, dead God, blood economy in tatters (which was my first time doing a blood economy), capital under seige, etc.. But my apologies Cainehill, this is not an action I would normally take. Krool |

And no, you're not being abused by Cainehill. But you probably will be if I'm in another MP game with you. You know - one hand shafts the other and all that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Well with a grand total of four MP games under my belt, that seems a bit strongly worded, but I'm fine with that.

Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Only 4 MP games? Perhaps it was a bit strong, but consider: One turn I have a stable border which I hadn't built up in, the next turn, without warning, my "ally" is invading my territories because of the retarded AI: the nation is being overrun by C'tis, yet decides to throw an army my way. I'd strongly suggest that in future games you give some advance notice to anyone you have treaties or alliances with, since it really screws them when you go AI. |
Re: Can\'t connect to Ye Olde game.
Cainehill,
Ok, I didn't consider the actions of the AI would result in you being attacked, although, yes, the AI is retarded and in retrospect it was probably not a good idea on my part to remove myself with the game without a longer notice. I can do nothing more than apologize. I didn't realize the AI, being smacked around by C'tis, would respond in such a manner. It's unfortunate that this all started due to a technial glitch, because I've been fairly faithful in getting my turns in across all my games. Once again, my apologies. Krool |
