I have this problem too, my ODBC entries are good, but i still have this problem.BDE is installed.

 

[chrissdegrece]

If BDE is installed then your ODBC entries are not OK.

 

[makavelil]

So i dont know how to fix this...When im checking ODBC`s testing ends sucessfully...

my 7770 cfg look like this:

[main]
title=A3ASD 7770

Try to remove & re-install bde

 

[onyourrisk]

check that your ODBC must have A3ASD as your 7770 cfg is configured with it

 

[makavelil]

BS is not problem that froze and unfroze means it cant connect login server so try to find out IP and ports are correct in login agent and client or not .

 

[chrissdegrece]

[chrissdegrece]

Thats the Server, what "Client" do you use?

How will you play?

Also, have you noticed that the server you have setup is Epi3?

 

[onyourrisk]

TTa3 has renamed some item files as well as some other ull files so its better you use some other client

 

[makavelil]

Im using ARA3 Part 3 client
