SP2
means service pack 2.

Windows xp released a service pack, That helped adress a lot of issues with xp.
(SP1)
This wasnt the best theyd ever done so after a while the released SP 2.
After updating there pc's with these service packs Many people suffered problems.
So have been advizing people not to use them.

But Jochi is right.
You should make sure you do have SP2 installed,
It seems to be fine now any way.
Dosent seem to cause errors or CTD's like it used to.

To get SP2
You just need to run windows update.

It's best to update everything you can.

All my xp updates are fully installed,
And theres no problems with them any more.

Windows updates and SP2 done... Will soon give shogun a couple of more tries, using any tips that have been shared all the same time. Any more things I can try?

Learned something today that might be important.

Created Shogun v1.12 and was able to log on.

Added Warlord v1.02 in same folder (my error), and was able to log on.

Set up Warlord in it's own folder, with diffrent key, and same name. And could not log on!

Changed name, and was able to log on.

While playing today, Arcade had to log on using Arcade18 because he had been droped, and could not log again on using the "same name".

Drisos, have you tried diffrent names (probably have but though I'd suggest)?

You will still have to try to log about three times (I do), but you will get in eventully if all else is right.

Thats Interesting.

Were all the wralord files installed in to the same directory as shogun origional?

...
I mean

was shogun.exe and shogunW.exe In the same folder?
(or whatever the respective exe names are)

If they were that implys there may be a File in the oriogional stw game folder that allows easier acsess to the server.
(I know that the origional shogun doesent suffer log in probs.)

I will probably have gone to see what aditional files there are with the origional STW by the time you read this, but please reply

This could be the fakeserver error we all know.
Sometimes when logging out of the lobby or being dropped
by the server, your login is still seen in the lobby but you're
logged out. You can't login again because your name/nick is still
logged in.

What happened was, I tried to load Warlord in the same folder, as if it were an expansion (requiring the host game). As soon as I started the process, I knew I had made a mistake. But time was short for Sundays S.O.S. 7PM GMT meeting, so I let it ride, allowing all duplicate files to be overwritten. The key and connection information were blank in the overwrite, so remained the same as they had been with Shogun, and I was able to log on, no problem. The install never ask me for a key, and the internet information was already there when I went to log in.

Later, when I went to re-install the game properly, the install ask me for a key, and the connection info was blank when I went to log in. This time used the Warlord key for the install (had to), and also for the connection info. That with the name and password I had used earlier, I could no longer log on.

I believe if I would have used the same information for the connection that I had use before (Shogun key for connection only), I would have been able to log on. But because there was a different key, the server would not let me.

I changed my name to go with the new key, and loged on...

I have not had a chance to try using the Shogun key (for connection info only) and my origional name, but will this evening.
