Hi,

I just found your website after thinking SFC2 was dead!! a few years ago I played this game every day, it's so great!!

I am trying to join in on your latest Dynaverse campaign but I keep getting told the directory servers are not found and that a firewall has been detected.

I have port forwarded all inbound and outbound to my IP address on 2300-2400 and 47624 so that should be fine right??

As instructed here http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163375173.0.html

I did a fresh install of SFC OP

Patched with 'SFCOP_Patch_2500-2552.exe'

Installed 'sfb_op_04.exe'

Finally ran 'AOTK3_FINAL.msi' and I had to copy and paste all the stuff from this out of D:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates and into C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates

But it doesn't seem to be working???

Do I need to run the ' sfc2_directory_server_updater.exe' ???? Prefer not to install it if I then am told I shouldn't have

All help greatly appreciated!! thanks

and flew exactly the same mission in the same hex and it crashed again?

It's a hydran heavy cruiser that in the game has a graphic that looks like a glowing orange star thing is that right?

EDIT: and a 3rd time, different hex, same ship again ... I have worked out what the glowing star is, it's the invisible ship with my probe stuck ontop of it :rolleyes:

Any ideas ?

EDIT2: and a 4th, this time no probes and basicly it always crashes just after the enemy fires at me the frist time.... alway seems to be a hydran ship too, and I can't see it.

I am guessing there is problem with my models or something?? But I thought it didn't matter what I saw ... Spent the last 24 hours getting this setup and I am so close and now I am stuck, any ideas please ???

I am running Windows XP Pro SP2

Do you run the game in compatibility mode for 98se ?

Just uninstalled it and am trying a default directory install, had to get rid of 1Gb Hibernation file to make space for it but its worth it for SFC

EDIT: thanks for the reply

The sfb OP 04 I have is exactly 47,518,314 bytes is that right ?? I downloaded it from a fileplanet link somewher ein the forums as the dynaverse.net one is a really slow donwload and unfortunately the whole website appeared to go down for hours last night when I had 1mb left to download...

ok, I think I see the problem now.

I downloaded and installed this:

http://www.dynaverse.net/downloads.php?id=51&game=SFC2%20OP#download

What is it?? I thought it was what I was supposed to get as it is in the Dynaverse.net download section, but I am guessing whatever it is doesn't contain the models for OP4, so I am now downloading this:

http://www.sky-flyer.org/sfc/opplus_40_models.exe

Do I need to install both for OP4 or something?? An info greatly appreciated thanks

I run op without madels would that be a problem?

I've been trying to get on this server all day but can't seem to do it. Log in buttonis black and keeps saying I have a firewall or I'm not conected. Loaded all the files over a brand new load but no go.

No, OP+ without models is fine. I chose to install that version and it works fine.
