Cool. Then I'll just have to watch the logs for the next few days to see if there's still something from with the notification system

I've a problem, I cannot start a game because I cannot remove the check on Disallow Client to Start ...

It gives this error:

Sorry, I didn't get that right. Use your back buttom to try again.

The errors that occured was:

No game named For_whom_the_bell_tolls_doesn't exist. This shouldn't happen, unless the post is spooked.

I can't connect since about 4 hours to Pandemonium2 port 2296

I have only ~150 minutes left to do my turn .

You may well have already tried this (if so, forgive me for redundancy), but many of us find that both mosehansen and Sheap's server occasionally lock up our Dom2 clients. This happens to some people more than others, but the usual precedure is to go into task manager, kill Dom2, try again. One player reported having done this 25 times in a row before finally getting through (I've never had to do this more than 4 times, and even that many is quite rare).

Have you tried this 10+ times in a row?

Copying from someone else's post, I've found the following command line parameters very helpful in bringing up Pandemonium:

dom2-2.12.exe --tcpclient --ipadr mosehansen.dk --port 2296-m

where dom2-2.12.exe is the 2.12 Version of dom2.exe.

now it works with the first try .

But i tried it about 10 times in a row today afternoon .
I really rarely have this happening though only once every 2-3 weeks or so

Thnx for the tip anyways Thufir

It's because of the accursed ?-mark. I could fix it, but it is some work. I hoped you would heed my warning and simply migrate the game... but now I have renamed everything in the tables, so now it should work. Sorry for the inconvenience...

It starts the countdown and after nagots, and stops.
And I've to restart it ...
Esben can you start it for me please?

The karan_dry map apparantly isn't on my system, and I couldn't find the map anywhere with a quick search. Either select another map, or upload the a correct Version of karan_dry:

Make a zip file, containiing
karan_dry.map
karan_dry.tga

The tga file MUST be named the same as the map file.

Look at the bright side --- now nearly everything that could go wrong has gone wrong :-(

[Thufir]

Several of us playing on my Pandemonium2 are having increasing difficulty connecting to this game, while not other games on mosehansen. Would restarting the game be likely to have any positive effect on this?

Also, we have one player who has the habit of staying connected for 24+ hr stretches. Could this be a contributing factor?

[Cainehill]

I anticipate that could contribute, definately. Each process tends to only have a certain number of sockets open / available, depending both on the host machine's settings and the code implementation. Someone keeping a socket (or stream) tied up continuously is not a good or smart thing.
