Ghak! No servers? Anywhere??
« on: January 14, 2006, 04:48:14 am »
I JUST got the game, and I ran the server connector thingamawhatsit. Unfortunately, I haven\'t been able to get on. My firewall allows the program (McAfee) and I have an untra-cool ultra-fast connection (Verizon Broadband with MSN). Windows 98 Plus, and a GIGANTIC hard drive. (Yeah, that\'s right. This thing can hold MORE than a GIG!!) and my computer can play Battlefield 1942. It\'s choppy, but I can still play.

So you do have UDP port 7777 enabled for server Laanx? *edited to add* Have you also read the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING thread?

1): No, don\'t know what that means. I\'m a nerd, but that doesn\'t make me smart.
2): Yeah, read it.

Well, currently the server is down for a rebuild, as the large red type tells you at the very top of the forum, so it\'s not accessible to anyone but the dev team ;)

In the meantime, google for your firewall/router model (if you do have one) and look up how to forward ports. There are just too many variations out there for anyone here to give you detailed step-by-step instructions.

Sorry. Either that red text wasn\'t up when I posted this or I didn\'t see it (or I\'m just stupid, which is probably the case).

Nah, don\'t think it was up there at the time :) There is a stickied \"Server Status\" thread however, in the \"Server Status/Annoucements\" forum section, that will show you how to check the server status on your own at any time.

If the server is down for any length of time I try to put that Red annoucement there.  It was down for a big longer than I had thought so I put it up there.  Server should be back up now, but might be a bit unstable over the weekend.

Didnt Notice Red Text...
« Reply #7 on: January 14, 2006, 05:44:00 am »
I didnt notice the red text either I just spent like 2 hours trying to open port 7777 and i came here FINALLY and red your guys posts...... I dont think my router or fire wall will cause problems. I Downloaded this game today and setup my character sheet and everything and it seemded to login correctly and loaded the level. if I got that far does that mean i dont have a firewall/router problem?

If you managed to log in, there are no problems ;) With that particular bit, anyway. Welcome to PlaneShift!

THanks for the welcome Karyuu. I think the server is back down again... and when i tryed to walk around it slid rather than the character moving its legs and walking. Is that normal?

Hm, the server seems to be up right now - at least at the time of my posting. Though as Acraig mentioned, it could be unstable for a while. As for the sliding - happens sometimes but it\'s never permanent - try stopping your character, then resuming movement once more. Sometimes typing \'/unstick\' into the chat window could work (without the apostraphes, of course), and if worse comes to worse, try relogging. Unless this is a new bug that is affecting everyone, in which case... eep :>

Curious. *runs in-game to test* Well, I\'m walking :> What character model are you using, out of curiousity, and have you updated the game since installing?
