Title: Fragnetics Failed
Post by: Inquit on March 08, 2008, 03:59:57 pm
I would very much like to play this game but have been unable to so far.
Every time I try to load the game the message "Fragnetics Failed" appears in the "Servers" box. If I try to continue, the message "The server isn't available!" appears. The updater works perfectly and when I go to the website I can see that the server is running.
I currently live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Is this the problem, and if so, when can we expect international coverage?

No part of the world is blocked form accessing the server as far as I know.

Take a look at the tech help guide and follow the steps for making sure your router/firewall is set up correctly.  http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21401.msg253394#msg253394

Also, do keep in mind that due to a brand new release, and that the game is in developement, that server instability, will be an issue, so you could simply be accessing the server during a down period.

If you check here, along the left side of the page, http://laanx.fragnetics.com/ if the report times are within seconds of the server time, and refreshing the page ever few seconds also updates the report times/server times, then the server is online, and if you are set up correctly, you should be able to log in.

Thanks, Neko Kyouran. I appreciate the quick response.

I've always considered myself "tech-savvy". This is certainly a sharp blow to the ego.  :-[

Do you have version 0.4 of the client, not 0.3.x.x?

Of course as stated in numerous places on the forum this is a game in development and it could just be that the server has crashed, so please be patient and wait. if there is any news it will be posted in  the Server Status section of the forum

Getting "server failed" message tonight but others seem to be playing according to this (http://www.ligh.de/psolbl/GuildBuddyList.php?guild=Your+Guild+Name+Here) list.  Shows about 130 people online at this time.  http://laanx.fragnetics.com is showing online and similar "Total online". 

This just a fluke or is it happening to anyone else.  Runnin' xp.

Occasionally when a DB qyuery has to be run the server lags giving a Failed message when trying to join generally if you wait a few minutes the query will finish or the server will restart
