Hello,
I have all the servers running, have triple checked them a thousand times, been spending all today and yesterday trying to get things functional but nothing seems to work.
I have the problem of being stuck at that first entry image when
running the game.
It has been mentioned, but the responses have been along the lines of either 'do some searching =_=' or 'yay I fixed it now don't worry'.
There doesn't seem to be any real responses returned that actually explain how this is fixed. The only references I've found are firewalls and ports, which are the first answer to everything.
However I have disabled my firewall and opened all the necessary ports.
The main issue trying to solve this problem is that the client can run even when the servers aren't running so it's near impossible to actually work out when it's even recognizing your server?
I've tried running those new launchers, but every version crashes for different reasons, even though no one else here seems to have those issues occur. So that isn't an option.
I'm running win7 x86, and no I'm not a computer idiot
(my work is with computers).
I was hoping I might be able to have some clarification in areas
of running the server which don't seem to be anywhere else and
which hopefully could lead me to a solution if no one has a specific solution.
-------
For "connect.txt",
are you suppose to simply have your I.P., without brackets or anything before hand identifying it as an I.P.?
For example [Public IP: "0.0.0.0"]
-------
Regarding the "MASTER_SERVER_IP" in the server.ini files,
does that work if your hosting on your own computer, to have "localhost"?
I've tried many variants, and having your own I.P. address as
specified in the tutorial "Public_IP/Master_server_ip = your ip",
causes the window to exit immediately after opening.
-------
Regarding the setup of "ODBCAD",
though the tutorial explains that you can put any name you want
for it, "Name: whatever you want", is that what your actually
meant to be specifying in the server.ini area -
"ODBC = "SQL Server"?
Should the name be the same?
Are you meant to be specifying your SQL server version?
I noticed elsewhere someone had along the lines of
"SQL Native Server 10.0" for their OBDC.
-------
Some help with this would be extremely appreciated as I'm loosing
my mind trying to find solutions to these when people either
respond by mentioning that it's been answered elsewhere or people
just having "edit: fixed ", without explaining how.
