server connect "issues"

Post by Doppelgamer »

actually, i haven't had any problems with this since i updated to 2.0.2 and registered, but many servers used to crash when i tried to connect. Sometimes it would say "server connect timeout" and freeze or crash. Other times it would say something about "getsockname ()" and "cannot get TCP port?" (and then crash). Because I'm not having this problem anymore, I'm not going to put this on the sourceforge site. I was just curious if anyone else had noticed this.

can't connect to server bzflag.secretplace.us

Post by tancshooter »

heelo everybody,

I have runing 2.0.2 and everything is working well, just 1 thing doesn't work:
I can't connect to server bzflag.secretplace.us:5255
When trying to connect, I get the message the game is downloading, I receive the screen "press .. to start". Pressing, pressing ... nothing happen ...

My login-name and passwd has no special character and I can login to any other server

Have somebody any idea what's wrong ?

I used to get this... Might be a 2.0.0 bug...
