Spirial Zone 1.9 Error

Post by Romulan »

I recent switched my ISP, and in doing so I have been able to connect to all BZFlag servers EXEPT Spirialzone. What happens is when I try to connect I can't get past "press right mouse or press i to star". It seems as if the command is not being excepted. What is happening?

I sometimes get that and just rejoin, and usually I'm in. If not, I come back at a later time.

I tried that, but the same thing happens everytime.... even after a restart.
No people are recognized on the server list, I can't join yet I'm able to control the radar. When I send a message the server "unexpectadly disconnects".

I think your ISP is banned at Secretplace, contact SportChick and she may be able to help you.

Toughshooter's right. I had the exact same problem, and had to talk to SportChick to get my name whitelisted because my ISP was banned.

The server logs say that you are rejected almost immediately after you connect.

Do you not get any kind of message telling you why you are being rejected? I don't see a ban that would appear to affect you, unless there is a bug in one of the hostbans.

Please let me know what message you get when you try to connect.

I don't see any messages of any kind at all. The screen is semi-froze with "press right mouse or i to start" blinking. No one but myself is detected in the score lists and I cannot join. And no, I don't believe this is an error in the BZFlag program for I can disconnect from the server and connect to other servers when I get the problem. So I can only assume that there might be a bug in the hostbans or there is some problem I am unaware of with my ISP.
