Invisible Swarm 2: Ended. Hail YC!

[Cainehill]

I've got Jotunheim uploaded.

(Remember folks: IP is 68.190.44.112, port 2000.)

[jeffr]

i've uploaded Pangaea.

[Jarkko]

I *still* can't get a connection to the serve

[CUnknown]

Does anyone have any ideas on why Jarkko can't connect? I'd hate to start without him. I'm not doing anything wrong, am I?

I think I will probably start the game tomorrow, reasoning that if people don't want to connect, they will probably go AI anyway soon enough. But, this thing with Jarkko is concerning me.

[Cainehill]

Given that everyone else can connect, odds are that it's something on his end - firewall / router settings or whatnot. It occasionally happens....

Or it might be the "usual" connection error, where someone can get in with enough tries, or by starting a second attempt while the first is hung - hard to say, since Jarkko hasn't said what exactly happens when he tries.

Depending on his operating system, he could either enter cut and paste this into the command line (linux) or set up a short cut with these properties and try:

"C:\Program Files\dominions2\dom2.exe" --tcpclient --ipadr 68.190.44.112 --port 2000

Cutting and pasting will more or less eliminate chances of there being something wrong with his shortcut / command, editing the "C:\Program..." bit above if he's on linux or installed somewhere else.

Note also that only 5 pretenders are uploaded out of 8(?) players. Looks like Bale Blackmoon (Marignon), Legacyspy (Man) aren't uploaded, as of course Jarkko's Arcoscephale isn't.

[Jarkko]

Well, I do know about ports etc and I haven't had problems connecting to other servers. Will have to test again once I get home today...

[CUnknown]

The following factions are taken:

me: Ryleh
Yellow Cactus: Atlantis
Bale Blackmoon: Marignon
Cainehill: Jotunheim
jeffr: Pangea
anatoli11: Vanheim
Jarkko: Arcoscephale, since he has at least tried to log on

All other positions are open on a first-come first-serve basis to a maximum of 10 players. The IP is: 68.190.44.112, port 2000.

Let's get this show on the road!

Ill upload soon

[Jarkko]

Well, whaddaya know. I come home from work, try the connection with a doomed feeling, and I finally get connected My Pretender uploaded.
