Huge problem, check this out and see if you got a cure.
« on: November 30, 2003, 01:35:28 pm »
Okay, I spend like a really long time downloading all the parts. (Dial up :P) After all the downloading and installing and what not, I FINALLY get into the game.

I start creating a charecter for the first time, and after getting to the \"Custom Creation\" screen or whatever, it just closes for no reason. After loading the game up again it (appears) to go fine. After I create a char it says \"You are linkdead. Please check the forums for possible reasons to fix!\" And I checked the forums.. said all this stuff about taking off Firewalls and something about changing something. First I changed the whatever it said needed to change (can\'t remember :P) and that didn\'t work. The problem is the firewall. I can\'t take it off because of a huge virus, MSBlaster. If I take off the firewall, within a few minutes a dialog comes up saying I have one minute before shutdown, and it counts down. Creepy ;P. Oh, and one time I did take down the firewall and quickly tried to log on (i just created a whole nother charector real quick) and the dialog came up. I didn\'t have a firewall, but it STILL wouldn\'t let me connect? Hmm. help please -_-
comp info :

Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600)

System Manufacturer: Compaq Presario 061

Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2 CPUs)

Memory: 504 MB

Page file: 214 MB used, 1016 MB available

Direct X Version: Direct X 9.0

Hope that helps..
I tried all this at around 5-5:30 AM on November 30th.

Please help, I spent FOREVER downloading, and it looks like an AWESOME game.

you\'re right, it looks really awsome :)

If you go on to the ntl website http://www.ntlworld.com they should have information on how to rid your self of this virus. It was all over the news a while ago. It shows you step by step.

After you have god rid of it you should be able to disable your firewall and play plane shift.

by the way, what do you type in the connection box where it says:

server: blah blah
login: kieba
new
confirm:  


what do i put in those last two spaces (new and confirm) ?  

i hope what i have said helps you :)

and in confirm just put the same word again.
