Stw Mp

**Togakure** · 10-17-2004, 01:01

Ok folks, wanting to play today rather than wait until tomorrow, Methos has downloaded and installed Fakeserver succesfully. I am sitting in his foyer right now, and all looks as it ever did on the official server.

However, for some reason he cannot get in! Can the fakeserver host access and play using the same computer that is running the fakeserver? He can see me sitting in the foyer via his fakeserver control panel, but can't log in himself.

Does anyone know offhand what he needs to do so he can log in and we can get to some head-collecting? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: Meth is running Windows XP with Roadrunner cable service. Putting his own IP in the Internet config file dumped him to the desktop. Changing it to localhost resulted in him hanging at "connecting ...," eventually resulting in a "failed to connect." I have since sent him choice.com which has been copied into ../system and ../system32. No change resulted. Again, help is much appreciated.

Problem solved.

The oh so pervasive numeric transposition, hehe. Now for some headz!

Hello,

The server is running now and will remain doing so for another 8 hours or so.

I don't have a problem with running it more often, but this has a downside:

it's of very little use to run it all week when only one person uses it per hour, a narrow window helps to concentrate the users. It will run other days when people agree on a time.

The host can enter his own server, even when he's playing on the same machine. It's possible that he has to use a different IP though (for example because of a router). That can be found with winipcfg.exe on 98, and typing IPconfig in XP console.

Hi all.

Still having problems with the Fakeserver. :o(

Today I had six attempts to loggon....each time got to...Logging On...page.
Then I had an instant.... logged on.
Was in the foyer with 7Bear7 Yogi and Redwolf joined later.
Neither Yogi nor myself could host a game that could be seen. (although I was in Game Foyer) each time I hosted but Yogi couldn't join and vice versa. I had the ports open to allow me to host.
When Redwolf hosted a test game I could see it but was ...unable to join... this game.
Logged out and relogged after another 6 attempts got back in. Patience heh

Now since I logged out of stw I have been unable to get back in. Just reaches the ...Loggin On ...page each time.
It is now16.30 BST will try again after I have eaten.

......Jochi

Just been in, and played a test game with Toda(great fantasy about names in Mizu uh? :P)
Server working, and game visible and played it, but get an unhappy problem with disconnection from the foyer, me and him at the same time. I had to restart game to solved it, but it happens again.

BTW Jochi, that issue with the logging happened to me as well, solved just relogging using another family name. :)

Thanks for the information Tosa. I'll pass it along, and tuck it away in my notes as well just in case I decide to run a server sometime in the future. Fun games to all :).

Edit: took out system quote because it was messed up by my editing.

Hi, I'm interested in playing STW MP. I think it's too late for me to play today now, but I'll try next week. However, I don't think I can remember my username/password/family name. What should I do? Should I just enter anything and it'll be accepted, or do I need to register a new account? (Where should I do that?)

Been trying to play STW MP for months but only now have a decent connection and PC, only to find out EA don't serve anymore.

I'm glad Tosa has kindly provided us with a server instead.

Hello HicRic. I'm not sure if you can still register and create character IDs now that the official server is down. Hopefully you will remember your ID and password when you get to the login screen.

If not, and you cannot register a new character ID, here's a last resort: if all you need is one to use, and assuming it is possible to use any that has been previously registered, you're welcome to use one of my spares (I have at least 20). The only down side is, you won't be able to choose your name or family, and I will know your password. I will not use the ID once turned over to you. From that point on it would be yours.

Contact me via MSN Messenger (or e-mail) if you choose to exercise this option. I am 47RoninToga, funkymonk002@hotmail.com.
