Title: Entering the game server
Post by: constmar on July 09, 2006, 10:51:57 am
 :sweatdrop: When I try to enter the game server I get the message "Game server isn't avalible" and I would like to know why.
I downloaded the game last week and I tryed since then every day but it never worked.
Please help me because I heard that the game is nice from my friends.

Welcome!

You may need to read the part of sticky post: -> Firewalls, routers, and proxies (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21401.msg253394#msg253394). Check settings of your personal firewall (if You have installed any) and/or settings of your router. If You haven't control over those settings, ask your administrator or ISP to allow traffic according to the description linked above. Use (http://hydlaa.com/smf/Themes/PlaneShift/images/english/search.gif) (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?action=search) to find topics about similar problems on these forums, they may help.

Good luck :)

Thank you for replying so quickly.
I checked my firewall ( I am using Norton internet security 2005 ) and the game is allowed. I tryed turning off my firewall and antivirus and it still has the same problem.
Do you know anything else that i could do?  :( :'(

What kind of internet connection have You ? Have You any hardware router/firewall between the computer and internet ?

EDIT:
Ah. One of recent posts reminded me something. Make sure You have downloaded last version of Planeshift, which is 0.3.015.

Be sure not to run the updater! Just install and play :}

 \\o// Thank you that was the problem. I started the game that way and it worked.
It was my mistake. Sorry!
