Title: Error when running application
Post by: Obscurity on April 25, 2006, 02:59:09 am
When I start the game and the app loads, about 5 minutes later I'll get an error that says "You shouldn't see this server message" and the game kills itself. Does anyone know what this is from and how to fix it, or is there another thread that describes the answer to this that I didn't see? Thanks.

Heya :) Usually this happens because of a bad connection - you're basically getting dropped because your connection to the server isn't stable, and this most commonly happens if one is using a wireless adapter.

Sometimes the server itself just dies and spasms in all sorts of interesting ways, and then you take into consideration that our server is in Singapore and we're a lot further away, so bumps can happen in between networks.

If you're using a firewall or router, do make sure that you have UDP port 7777 enabled for the server Laanx - it may help.

Oh thanks, I didn't know that I needed that port open on my router. I'll set it up. Thanks.
