Logging into the foyer under Windows XP

[Drisos]

I did some tests again:

- Windows Firewall disabled
- Norton Firewall disabled (only 5 mins don't worry)
- Not behind a router, connection trough usb cable in my modem
- The 'ShogunW.exe' file's Compatibility mode is set to win98/winME
- OS: Windows XP Home Edition
- Shogun is installed on a NTFS drive
- I have installed choice. I have no batfiles to try it on.

Hmmm can anyone mail me a batfile? doesn't matter what, for instance just the shogun server picking file. then I can try it and see if choice is working, if not I will reinstall.

I have tried logging in for several times, with and without entering a cd-key, ticking the box about existing internet connection and using the enter trick various times.

There two more options it seems - get it on a fat32 drive (but it works on ntfs for duck) or reinstall choice.

did you put choice in system32 folder?
Id like to see if that works.
And if your on msn il mail send u the stats swaper

Edit.

You can actualy make your own bat file..
If you :

make a new text document.
open it.

Then
type the word :
Pause

so thats the only text in the file,

Then go to file at the top left corner
say save as...

You will see 3 boxes you can type in.

File name:
Save As type
And
Encoding:

In the File name feild (should be the 1st text feild)Enter
Batfile.bat
now change the Save as type feild(Should be the second text feild)
to "All files"

and hit save

you will have made a bat file.
and if it stays open when you run it.
choice.com is installed ok

You mean a notepad file?

I guess yes, as it is working. It has the batfile-icon now and when I open it it was clear to be a batfile, it remained open for about 8 seconds til I closed it.

... this means choice is installed correctly as well.. running out of options.

it hardly can have anything to do with the other things that changed when my computer changed. - I mean, the graphix card is ok for shogun as it works perfectly with sp etc
it's not a firewall or router, I have choice, compatibility mode is set to 98.. what now?

[Just A Girl]

you can try turning off indexing and compression.

To do that.

you can go find your c: drive
Right click it
Select properties

You will see a pie chart of your disk space

At the bottom of this window ar 2 check boxes un tick them. so they are empty.

You can turn them back on later if you chose to.

Done that. I failed to get in about 25 times

But firewall was on and I was behind a router. There is of course a chance there are two causes for this and I should try using all methods at the same time...

[Just A Girl]

well i dont want to tell you how to format your drive to a fat32 Yet.
If others can log on using ntfs maby they know why,

Try restarting 1st incase not all the things youve tried have been implimented properly yet.

[Drisos]

it's kinda weird, when I have no router no firewalls same hard drive as duck installed that program same os.. in short all the same, it doesn't work for me... what can it be?

perhaps you guys can make such lists but with more details, other things that don't seem to have anything to do with shogun mp. (remember shogun didn't start because of a webcam with methos.. perhaps there's something like that blocking me from mp... in that case I would have to ask others who can't login and see what we have in common and disable it.)

I have another idea, I can install shogun original and see if I can get into the fakeserver with that. that would make sure it has nothing to do with the game itself or it's settings.
