<div class="IPBDescription">*Sigh*</div> It started last night.

1.0ghz
Geforce 2
Windows XP
393 Ram

I was running NS perfectly until last night, when suddenely when I try to connect to servers it says my WON Authentication is successful, and connection is accepted and then... nothing. No error message, no computer lockup, just nothing. It never actually connects.

I would greatly appreciate help in this matter. I've tried reinstalling NS, Uninstalling and THEN reinstalling etc etc. Its just not working :-\

All Seeing Eye isn't working, and connecting through console isn't working either, nor is going through the list inside the game :-\

Once again, I would greatly appreciate help, the sooner, the better <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Thanks in advance.

Oh and if you want, you can contact me through any means in my profile, or just post here, thanks in advanced again!

    You said ASE doesn't work. You mean, it doesn't scan at all (so you cant get server list) or does it scan really slowly?

    I would say that the reason is your internet connection. Sometimes i have some connection problems too. My status is online, but Internet Explorer doesn't load anything, ASE scans VERY slowly, etc...
    And of course i can't join in any server then. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No No, I get the lists and everything and then it says servers are full even when they're not. But its not just ASE, I can't connect through console or anything. I have DSL, my connection is fine (I'm downloading quite fast still), so I think its like something either with the router or the game.

    Any advice would be great, and thank you, I do appreciate your response, even if it wasn't what I was looking for ;-)

    Can you post the contents of your woncomm.lst file here? It's just a text file in your HL directory that specifies your WON auth servers, and might have a clue as to what's going on.

    Hmmm.. woncomm file is fine. As a quick test, can you try and connect to a HL DM server, or to some other mod you currently run, like TFC, DOD, CS, etc. just so we can isoltae it to being an NS issue or an HL issue? Post back here, I'm tracking the topic now.

    CS seems to work fine.

    Now, using the in-game selection, I'm getting "HL CD Key in use" errors. (This is probably just because I get WON authed, but don't disconnect...since I don't even connect to a server to get disconnected. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)
    Do you know how long the timeout is?

    Are you always trying to connect to the same NS server, or a variety of them? Vadakill is usually someone's fave list server <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yes, different ones. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ugh, its still happening.

    It will say connection accepted and NOTHING happens, no computer freeze just nothing happens *Sighs*

    This is really getting on my nerves, NS worked fine until two nights ago, and my life is like ruined, I have a friday off from work and nothing to do, not even play ns (Hope guilt trip gets more people to try to help me :-p)
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Hmmm, and you uninstalled NS, then reinstalled it. Can you post your config.cfg file here? When you're in the console and it just stops, what happens if you type 'retry'?

    CD Key in use? Ehhh, that's not good. There is no 'timeout', it's in use by someone else. Did you lend out your PC, CD's, etc. to a friend, or were you at a LAn party recently?

    Everything SEEMS to be set now, though I'm having problems AGAIN with getting on Vadas because of Model consistency's :-p, forgot how I fixed that last time, but it seemed like the router was to blame, we're borrowing one right now, hopefully until the faulty one is fixed.

    :Edit: By the way, Thanks. Its good to know that while your not getting money from any of this, your still taking your time to help.

    For that, I would seriously like to contribute money to NS in some fashion... Is there any way I could do so?

    Thanks again.

    You are welcome, and I'm glad it ironed itself out, as that was going to be hell to diagnose.

    And yes you can contribute (although it doesn't go to me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> ) :

    Shall take a look at that, will have to convince my parents to let me use their credit card (of course paying them back) as I only just turned 18 on March 17th :-p
