Logging into the foyer under Windows XP

I had no problems on XP either.

BTW, your not copying the old directx 8 are you?

[Drisos]

Yes Tomi have done exactly that. Something must be different on our computers.. we need to find that and eliminate the change at mine.

Kansuke, what do you mean with the directX comment? I installed 8.0 from the shogun WE cd. is that ok?

[Kansuke]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Thats it. XP uses a newer version ie directx 9, so u need to update this, uninstall STW/WE install it again without directx 8.

STW/WE works fine with directx 9.

If it's not a directx issue, like Kansuke suggests, we may have to think
about your modem/router issue again.
I looked into the manual for your Acer Speedtouch 580 and found out that,
similar to my router, you have two choices to connect:
1. Store the information (Online-Name and password) needed to connect to the internet in the router
2. Don't save any info in the router but use it as a dial-up modem.

Option 1 means you're (or rather your router) always online. When you open
your browser it connects instantly.
Option 2 means you create a dial-up-connection in Windows. This means
you're only online when this connection has been manually started.
Also, all other features of the router like firewall etc. are then disabled because it acts like a modem.

The idea behind this is that Shogun is that old that it may not work correctly with routers. I intend to check this out myself some time in the future because I guess this could solve my hosting problems.

My bad, I thought he couldn't get stw/we running, oops.

His problem is that he can't connect to the lobby.
You could be right about directx nonetheless. In directx there's also
directplay whic is used for MP.
I was also thinking about the other problem (hosting) that drisos and I still have.

[Drisos]

Where can I find directX 9.0?

ehmmm, any suggestions left?

It obviously isn't working, neither on stw original. configuration is correct. I have choice. I have XP SP2. I have tried it without a router. I have tried without firewall.

No succes.

The last thing to try seems to be changing a partition into fat32. Plz tell me how, someone...

I will also be heading for other places where people might know how to fix this kind of problems.

it would truly be a very BIG disappointment in my life, if I can't get stw to run. Shogun mp is my greatest hobby, you see.

Drisos,

if you have Rome you can install it from the CD,
otherwise simply go here
and download it.
Concerning fat32 you can, if you have a spare partition, simply
go to "Computeradministration" and per right-click format a drive
into a fat32 drive.
Iirc you don't have an empty spare partition.
To explain how to create one, that is how to partition your drive
is quite complicated, but I'll see if I can find a Howto.
Don't despair.
