rockrat Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Sorry to be such a noob, but I'm still trying to figure out if the server is down or if there's something wrong on my end, because I haven't been able to get into the game [b]at all[/b] yet and since 11am EST yesterday I have been getting 'cannot connect to server' and 'coudn't connect to global server' messages whenever I run the client. It's annoying because it's on the login screen and megan still talks and all that jazz. I just want to play EnB for the first time in nine years!! haha So once again, sorry everyone for spamming/being such a noob/cluttering the tech forum with my dumb questions.... Quote
C Del[IS] Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Does the launcher report that the server is online? It should say either "OFFLINE" or "ONLINE-###" in the "Server" group, below the "Host" box. In the launcher, there is a drop-down box entitled "Local IP". If there is more than one entry in that drop-down box, trying connecting once with each entry. Quote

I've also tried disabling all my firewalls and antivirus softwares and it still won't connect. I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong but I just wish I knew what that was... Also; is there a specific program I need to use to run the client? Because when I run 'client' it reads "Coudn't connect to server. Try again later." and when I run "Launch" it reads "Connection to global server failed." Either way when I click Ok it closes to desktop. I'm running client as administrator but when I run Launch as administrator the command prompt kinda pops up for half a second and closes but if I just double click it it runs the client. But then again on the Net-7 launcher it says "Please select a server and hit play" ...so am I supposed to run the client directly through the Net-7 launcher? if so, how?

rockrat Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Posted January 16, 2012 And one more thing... I've seen some people saying it's some characters or classes they've created that's causing issues. Before the last time I reinstalled the client and launcher I was able to create my characters but once I tried to start it would get stuck on the starmap loading screen and after about 15 minutes boot me back to the login screen. Could you maybe just delete all my toons? I haven't gotten to play a lick with any of them so it wouldn't hurt... Rockrat Endorphius Octopavius Thanks for your response so far. Quote

rockrat Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Update: I'm stuck with "Incompatible version of Net7proxy" now.. I've already deleted mine and my launcher and downloaded one a dev posted here on a similar thread. I forced updates and all that stuff and I've tried it with my firewalls off. Any more suggestions?

Tienbau Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 try the sunrise patch here: [url="http://patch.net-7.org/Net7/sunrise_patch.zip"]http://patch.net-7.org/Net7/sunrise_patch.zip[/url] Just unzip over the top of your client files. This often unsticks a client. Quote
rockrat Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 Nothing I'm kind of ignorant when it comes to computers... so when you say unzip over the top of client files.... where exactly? Thanks Quote
rockrat Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 Is there no way to just send a DL link for the right version of the proxy? Quote
rockrat Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Posted January 17, 2012 UPDATE Ok so I kept reinstalling/forcing updates, rebooting, all that voodoo and I think I got it all worked out... now if the server would just come back up... LOL Quote
mrlightman Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 Ok where do i find out if the servers up or when it will be up? Quote
TooTall Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 When it 'will' be up I am not sure. To see if it is up there is a neat little program called EnB Notifier. You can find it on the Net-7 site under downloads. Sign in first, look in the downloads section and it is the fourth one down. Just run it after you get it, it sits in your tool bar tray and checks the server once a minute to see if it is up, down or starting. Man do i love that thing! It is always running for me even when I am playing, it is invaluable. It will also tell you if you are using a bit too much bandwidth and give you a false alarm if you are pushing your max limit. The game will still play even though the Icon is Red (down).. Quote
mrlightman Posted January 17, 2012 Report Posted January 17, 2012 i had no idea that was what it was for thanks man Quote
