Already losing connection...
« on: January 20, 2006, 07:59:03 pm »
well, title is self explanatory.

ive lost 1100 prestige already, everytime after a fight ive lost connection afterwards, solo or drafted, trying to do an action or waiting on my sorry butt for my prestige :(

any idea WHY this is happening? i have NO firewall running right now, running on my motherboards chipset's integrated lan, i COULD switch to the Gb lan but its finicky sometimes and id have to tell everyone in the 9th the TS IP changed lol

Thanks :(

Sounds like you are running a teamspeak server on the same connection you are playing from? Teamspeak servers are nasty bandwidth hogs and it may be interfering with your game connection. Are you behind a router? Is the MTU set? (if so, reset it to the default)

Try putting the KCW shiplist and fighterlist into the \MetaAssets folder to see if that helps.

Also ensure that you fully disable any anti-virus software while playing. (The norton privacy filter program is known to interfere and must be uninstalled entirely).

Ah, if no one is on it, then it should not interfere.. its use only gets nasty when there is more than a few on it.

Operations were moved to THOR (Xenocorp's Server) at noon eastern time today.   Try it now, different physical server so if it was an internet problem, this might have helped.

This problem will probably persist until you disable your AntiVirus and firewall programs. You can just run a full AV scan after you're finished playing each evening. Pretty sure you won't find anything. Its browsing the web that brings viruses, not playing OP. ;)

Also if you are running anything that resembles Kazaa or other P2P programs, for the love of god turn it off, better yet uninstall it and forget it ever existed.

Regarding Helkern... are you running a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 server? If not, then you do not need to worry about it.

I think you are running a cable connection and have no router if I remember correctly.  I have AntiVirus running with OP.  It makes no difference for me.  I also used to be able to run OP with software firewall enabled.  Be that as it may, I'd check to make sure that you are not running TS on one of the ports that OP needs.

If need be Omega, turn off the TeamSpeak system. For the duration of KCW we'll probably be on the Dynaverse.net server anyways, and I'd rather have a friend flying than a TS system up that is dormant for the time being :)

already tried that ryker, had no affect what so ever... :( this is driving me insane, i can flip hexes and everything, all the server side results are kept, but my stuff just doesnt <_< no damage incurred, my ship can be destroyed and i just get it back, none of my resources are expended... all this leads to a very pissed off klingon <_< lol

A few things:

Have you edited your shortcut to the game to point to StarFleetOP.exe and added the correct "Start In" parameter?

Are you flying solo missions or being drafted?

Try the atttached NWMissionConfig.scr (unzip and place in \Assets\Scripts)

Also, make sure there are no apostrophes in your character name. (think DOS filenames, upper and lowercase letters, numbers and the underscore character, thats it.)

I suspect you may be missing the attached file (not actually a mission, but required client side for NW scripts to work). Unzip it and place the .scr file in \Assets\Scripts.

If you have the shiplist switcher, you could go to Gamespy and try and get in a 3 v 3 and see how that holds.  If you can run a 3 v 3 on gamespy, let us know, that is a clue..
