Topic: Problem with net play

Hello!

I'm trying to play Teewars on WinXP Pro and I have an issue when I try to join a net game.
The list of servers works but when i join, i get stuck on the screen showing "Connecting to <server ip>". Neither disabling the firewall nor setting up my modem worked, and all of my others games work fine. If you have any idea or suggestion, i'm all ears ^^

Thanks in advance.

Re: Problem with net play

some thoughts

try checking your ping.

what kind of connection do you have?

check your anti-virus software (some times that stuff gets in the way)

use linux big_smile

Re: Problem with net play

Well I checked and the fact is:

My ping is good enough (50ms latency, no lags)
I have a classic ADSL connection 4mbs down, 400kbs up
And I haven't installed any anti-virus.

Looks like I'll have to go Linux xD

Re: Problem with net play

in that case we will have to act fast before bill gate catches us big_smile

quick go in to your garage and dust off an old pc or mac (Pentium 3 or equivalent should work)

make sure it has a nvidia graphics card

burn a copy of the xubuntu distro to a cd

plug the computer in to your net work and boot it up using the cd

install xubuntu

install the nvidia driver

and then install teewars (use the window$ pc to look up how-tos for any questions you have)

and finally read the final line of this post

(you don't have to take these instructions seriously) ( big_smile big_smile WARNING LOL OVERLOAD big_smile big_smile )

Re: Problem with net play

Hehe, maybe it's the type of firewall/ antivirus? PS: Yes, use linux.

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.
