Title: Servers
Post by: desoshade on June 26, 2008, 10:55:46 pm
Hi.  I just signed up for ps.  Thought I would give it a go.  Can't seem to connect to the server tho.  When opening the client, server status is "failed".  Can't really complain because it's free and open source, but my first time playing the game, would be nice if I could get online.   ::)  I guess that's the one fun thing about paying for service.  Is that you can whine, complain, rant, rave and well, that's fun!   \\o//  But anyway, how often does the server go out?  How long is it down usually?  I read that you were donated a new server recently.  3ghz x2.  Um.  I don't think it's working.  :)

It goes down fairly frequently most of the time it is back up right away but sometimes is down for hours.

I'd like to play the game soon.  It's nice to find an open source rpg.  Totally free.  So many rps make you pay to get more features or after a trial period.  That's a waste of time.  :thumbdown:

Check that website for server status. It appears to be up.

Do you have a firewall? Check port 7777 udp/tcp is allowed.

Speaking of the frequent downtime, does anyone know if it's an issue of hardware/operating system instability, or if it's the ps server app? Just feeding my curiosity

Generally it is the ps server software.

I'm pretty sure it's not being blocked by anything  ::|

So I have no idea what's going on.


:edit: I tried re-installing it, and I still have the same problem.

It's not blocked by my firewall, so... What could be wrong?

just to be sure, what's the version number it says at the top of the program?
Title: Re: Servers
Post by: BrokenTheory337 on June 28, 2008, 07:02:27 pm
0.4.00

That's the right one, isn't it?
Title: Re: Servers
Post by: neko kyouran on June 28, 2008, 07:07:49 pm
yep thats the one.  you said you were using vista in another thread right?

is vista's firewall blocking it?  what is your connection ot he internet like?  pc to modem to your isp, or something like pc to a router, to your modem to isp, or pc to router to uni's network to isp?
Title: Re: Servers
Post by: BrokenTheory337 on June 28, 2008, 08:18:06 pm
I think the firewall isn't blocking it, but I can't be positive because I have no idea how to check that (me=not familiar with vista)

I'm also not sure about the connection, as I'm not the one who pays attention to that. I think it's PC to router, ect.

The server says there are two people online, is the server up or is it just being weird?

as long as the server is in testing the players will not be allowed on. when the server is ready for players you will again be able to connect.

   I played PS a couple times about 15 times but nearing the end of June and start of July I have been experiencing the server, Fragnetics, failing. I check the website and find at least more than 50 online users. Are those devs? Can someone help me? I use Vista and I have the 4.0 version and I just keep seeing a failed. Its very annoying seeing more than 50 online users and I can't log.

run the updater or download a new client, the client has been updated to .4.01

Hello. this same problem is being discussed in another thread - I am getting the same problem - from what people say, the server is not very stable right now, coming up for a few minutes and then crashing again. I hope it is fixed soon.

I like to thank Caarrie for giving me the tip I did not know it was 4.01 because I use Vista which is annoying to use. Thanks

Ok, Not quite sure i'm doing this correctly, but I can't find the "post" button, sor sorry if this is not a anwser.

question: the server keeps dropping me after only 3 or 4 minutes, so I am unable to create a caracter. Is there a problem with the server or is it my connection

Post by: scrag_10 on July 04, 2008, 01:15:50 am
I am finally able to connect to the server too, and that is as far as I can get, clicking on the custom or quick buttons gets me no where.
