[Ege]

My friend and I tried to play the game on the internet.. At first try we connetced to each other and began playing. But a few minutes later my friend's game crashed.. Is it anything about music change.??
We thougth that and turn off the music... However last night our coms didn't find each other's ip so we couldn't star the game.. Was there problem on the server??

Let's move you to the people who would know.

OK, first a general note There are no game servers, one player is the host (ie acts as the server) and the other players are clients (whose games are connected to the hosts game).

Secondly, a few questions

1) Are you playing over Internet or over LAN?

2) If playing over the Internet, is either you or your friend in a University or some such network? Also, did you connect through Valkyrie-net or directly through IP? If direct IP, are you sure the IP's were correct on the second attempt?

3) Do either of you have a router or firewall?

4) What sort of connection do you have?

5) Did you turn off all other programs running in the background (instant message programs, Windows auto-updater, anti-virus-software, e-mail, etc etc)? All these can and eventually at some point *will* crash your game...

I am Ege 's friend.
1)Internet
2)Valkyrie-net
3)Firewall
4)Dial-up 56 kbps
5)Except anti-virus we closed everything

Looks like there shouldn't be any problems then if the firewalls have the correct ports open. Have you tried again playing?

 

[unmerged(29951)]

We tried a lot but we didn't play...

 

[Swuul]

So did you have the correct ports open on the firewalls? Altough as you got once into playing, I'd suspect the problem is more likely some programs running in the background eating up resources and/or bandwith.

But we closed everything... :wacko:

 

[Swuul]

But we closed everything... :wacko:

Well, how about the firewall?

 

[unmerged(29951)]

I understood ...Thank you for your answers.. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

 

[Swuul]

Thank you for your answers..

Np. So, did you make it work then?

 

[unmerged(29951)]

We didn't try but I understood why it didn't worked... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
