New & raw web based Dominion II game server

Esben one of the games at your server (Faerun folly) seems to have a problem.
When I connect it crashes my system, other players reported the same.
Could you please see what is going on?

Thanks

Mose is unlikely to to be able to diagnose this, as it's probably a client-side problem unless everyone is getting it.

How many people are affected (I'm not, BTW)? Does it happen with every connection, or just intermittently?

Faerun Folly

I've just restarted the game, because it had started to hang on the "Waiting for game info" box. Restarting seems to have cleared the problem, but Ermor (Catquiet) and Pangaea (djtool) will have to upload their orders again (restarting clears any orders received for the current turn).

stopping and restarting a game usually fixes those connection problems, IME.

Just restart it, or try connection mulitple times. It's related to the overloaded VM and subtle bug in the game. Johan has tried to find the error, but unsuccesfull --- we couldn't reproduce it

I had a game (Pandemonium) get hosed when one player quit without going anonymous. So, I've recreated the game (Pandemonium2) and it looks like we're good to go.

For Pandemonium, I've stopped the game and disowned it. Is this the proper action for releasing the slot on the server? Also (and this is probably not important) there is a message on the Pandemonium saying more than 23 games are running and therefore this game has not been started. Any reason to think that Pandemonium2 will not be allowed to start?

Hopefully you're setting a master password this time, as that (player quitting without going AI) is one of the main things it's good for.

Once you created Pandemonium2, there was 23 game in open or running status, so the original one couldn't be started as it would go over 23. In other words - P2 should be startable.

Actually, I did that the first time around, but I didn't see any way to use that. How do I force a player off?

Good news - thanks for the reply.
