New & raw web based Dominion II game server

[jimbo]

I am trying to connect to port 2254 to take my turn in the HowTheGodsKill game (Mictlan) and when I connect (successfully) I get to the waiting for data screen - forever.

I was able to kill the Dominions task and then take my turn normally in the game on port 2252 (Low Magic). But when I went back to try at port 2254 got the same result - hang.

I was having this trouble too, but found I could get back in on 2254 after killing the first attempt.

I am not sure what causes this, except that I first encountered it around the patch to v.2.11 and when the server began pushes >400Mb swap.

For me and some others, just killing it when the waiting for data screen hangs and then immediately trying again works --- sometimes you have to try more than once. The highest reported number is 4 trys.

Cohen was unsuccessful with this. For him, restarting the game solved it, at least for a while.

Just to make it plain: The server just running normally. I'm guessing that there is a bug in the dominion game that causes it to crash/hang when the server is slow to respond, or maybe send the data in two TCP/IP packages. But without the code, who can really tell?

So Jimbo=Gamealot=Mictlan (HowtheGodsKill)?

I was wondering what your handle on this board was...

A game I created on mosehansen (Cradle of Uncivilization) has an anonymous nation I've been trying to boot before starting the game. (The result of someone uploading two pretenders.)

Using the "Kick all anonymous players" option isn't kicking the player off (5 attempts now). Nor is it restarting the game as it says it will, though this is perhaps a result of the game not being started yet (it's still in an open state).

The nation (Jotunheim) is also the only one that doesn't display an md5 value, which makes me wonder if there's something ... screwy with the nation / pretender?

Anyways - anyone know if it's safe for me to start the game, _then_ trying kicking Jotunheim? Or using the master password to remove it?

Thanks.

Did you try stopping the game, kicking the anonymous players, and then restarting the game and seeing if the player appears in the server list?

The fact that he has no md5sum anymore suggests that he has been DELETED!
