Flip Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 There is a "Local IP:" list box on the launcher, if you have more then one IP address listed in there, try the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendtoall Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 for some reason i now get a net 7 proxy error saying incompatible version?? lol where can i download or upgrade to 2.42 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janwarrior Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Look at the attached picture... Under "Launcher" in the upper left corner, if you click on that, you get up a sub-menu. Click "Reset Launcher", and OK on the question, that should update.

Janwarrior Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 You are sure that you ran the update as Admin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendtoall Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 yes it ran as admin i get to the log in screen now but the connecting to server icon seems to stay and i cannot type username and pw atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janwarrior Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Do you have more than one screen? If so - make certain that screen one is set as main screen! I namely had that problem while running screen two as main screen, then trying to log in at screen one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendtoall Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 yes i have 2 screens for some reason 1 is to right and 2 is to left everything runs on 2 by default and has done for several years.. including the game. i swapped them over to try your theory and nothing worked at all i got the game up opened it and couldnt click nothing to close it down so have reverted to normal* am just puzzled as to how i can get this working again on a clean install :) i may do another one and follow every instruction meticulously again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janwarrior Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Try to check then: - Can you enter user name/password on screen 1? - Ditto on screen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 you have to specify a different local IP for each client that you're connecting with. If the server detects you trying to log in twice with the same account, it will kick you. That out of the way, not sure what's going on with the above. Not sure i'm clear on the steps to replicate what you are seeing. Is this after a second client is launched or is it that you cannot launch the game at all? Have you registered on net-7.org as well and linked your game account? If those things are true it seems more genuinely a client or install issue if you did in fact run the installer and everything with admin, as a few files have to be replaced which are in protected areas of the OS when UAC is running, which is by default on all newer gen Windows Installations.

Friendtoall Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 its weird i have installed re installed numerous times and i get different errors each time but have installed every time with ADMIN rights. just annoyed the first installation was corrupted missing playing the game lol think i might fully remove all software and try again on a different drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 If you've UAC enabled (and most do, by default) then you have to choose to run installer as admin because it modifies some files during the process that it otherwise cannot, even though your account is the computer administrator. They have a layered user mode where the 'normal' user token can't do anything administrative without requesting it from the kernel, prompting the user so you know it's executing with heightened permissions and could wreak havoc, etc. When you run our launcher, run it as admin as well, so that it can download and update the files to connect the original game client to our server effort which will allow you to log in once you have an account here linked with an account on www.net-7.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 To clarify and emphasise Kyp's point ('cos this comes up a *LOT* in my office as well): Just having your account be a member of the local "Administrators" group on your PC isn't enough. You need to right-click on the installation (and configuration) executables/shortcuts, and select "Run As Administrator". This "Elevates" the process you are running to grant it full administrative access. Anything less won't cut the mustard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurdent [CDEV] Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'll expand on this : Even adding administrator to a shortcut will NOT necessarily allow admin access to sequential triggered executables. Example : If I'm running the launcher as admin (LaunchNet7.exe), it does not grant the same level permission to the proxy (net7proxy.exe) or the game client (client.exe). You have to individually add those permissions at the file in it's own directory, as well as change their compatibility settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karu [WDL] Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'll expand on this : Even adding administrator to a shortcut will NOT necessarily allow admin access to sequential triggered executables.

You have to individually add those permissions at the file in it's own directory, as well as change their compatibility settings. There is two ways to verify if what you say is correct: 1) If you open task manager and add 'UAC Virtualization' column to it, then you see that when LaunchNet7.exe is started as admin, every process started from launcher after that (e&bconfig, proxy, client) inherits the column value. 2) LauncherNet7 has 'Tool -> E&BConfig' options, so you can use E&BConfig to determine which registry entry is written when LauncherNet7 is running as admin or as normal user and e&bconfig.exe does not have any box ticked (ie, winxp compat or admin). You can then use e&bconfig.exe without launcher to verify. However, running LauncherNet7 as user and having admin box ticked for e&bconfig.exe does run e&bconfig.exe as admin.
