Default Re: Shortcut

Hmmmm..... Are you really THAT computer iliiterate???

The following only works for WIN XP, but the other window operating systems are similar:
1. Riht click on the icon which starts Dom2 and select create shortcut.
2. Go to the shortcut you just created, right click on it and select rename. Change it to GrimK or Newbiegame 2, or whatever floats your boat.
3. Right click on it again and select properties.
4. Copy the above shortcut inside the target box.
5. Hit apply.

And presto-chango! You now have a direct link to Grim Knight's server. No more selecting network and typing in a bunch of random numbers!

Ain't Bill Gates amazing???

Ouch, I have a strange problem. Yesterday I was playing a single player battle and I got an out of memory error (I have half a gig of RAM). The game would not restart. So I reloaded, and re-patched but still it won't work.

Any ideas?

Server IP has shifted.

IP is now: 69.10.118.172

I work graveyard and just got home and checked the Boards and noticed this, I am resetting the Timer to avoid Stale Turns.

This is fairly rare so hopefully will not happen again any time soon.

Default Re: Connect

Dragonfire, does it give you a specific error when you try to load the program?

Does the error occur when you are open the program itself or when you select a menu item inside the game?

If it is giveing a specific error, what are the details of the error specifically does it reference any recognizable file names?

Have you recently installed any patches to your OS or to any major programs that always run, Antivirus, Firewall, etc.?

What OS are you running?

When you reloaded did you completely uninstall the game first?

If you uninstalled it did you delete any files left behind other than Maps, Mods, Pretenders, and Save Games?

There are just not enough details in your initial post to draw any conclusions.
