Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
This is the problem where it stops on "Waiting for Game Info", right?

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Yep, and if you try a second time you "usually" can connect. The client becomes totally unresponsive though and has to be killed manually - if you have the game windowed that can be done, if the game was full screen you're out of luck since the client locks up completely. This behaviour, which can be observer when you're connected to the server while it hosts aswell, should really be changed so that the client doesn't lock up like that.
Please list all problematic games here that display the problem described in the first post on a regular basis.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
It appears that the secret is making a "second connection". This can be while another person is in, or very soon after your first try, or opening another copy of Dom3 to connect with.
Hosts can improve the actions on their games by keeping a copy of Dom3 linked to the game sitting with the "Waiting for game info" screen.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Yes, there are workarounds floating around which might work in some or even most situations, but we should be rather more interested about isolating the problem so that the devs can fix it for good. If it would happen rarely and due to other circumstances with the net connection itself it would be excusable that this happens, but it really seems to be a problem with the server software, after all.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Thats what I was saying also.
Up until now I thought it might have been a problem only with my servers. I have now reported it in the beta group to the devs.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Dominions in text mode on windows is completely invisible. "Broken pipe" is a message I only get on Mac. When I get that message, the Mac closes the server for no apparent reason.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Dominions in Windows writes its output to .txt files since it can't divide between a message log and an error log on the screen.
Your mac problem doesn't have anything to do with the things described in this thread, I think.
