Arckons Next 24Civ Pitboss game; details and discussion here

[Junuxx]

You can load the mod at startup by starting the game with the following parameter:

Civ4Warlords.exe mod= Earth24

Take care about the space character after the "="

@Arckon: Please put this information to the first post since it might concerns everybody of you guys

Another option, by the way, is to use a mod chooser, like this one:

Logged in, did orders, ended turn and logged out. Logged in twice more and although it took a heart-stopping 3-4 secs for the leaderchoice screen to come up, it did - no problem.

 

[JMaltman]

Exact same as Johnhs.

And I can actually exit out quite quickly - TO THE MAIN MENU, and then to the desktop from there.

 

[Junuxx]

No problems this time. Logged in three times just to be sure. Oh, and I renamed the French to something more appropriate to my location, did I already say that?

 

[plattfuss]

Looks like it's me. I again got the no leader screen.

Arckon, can you do me a last favor and restart once more and let me be the first to enter the game? I will make a fresh install of Warlords and the mod + set my router on DMZ. If that doesnt work I am out. It's really strange because I am able to play the other pb game with no probs + I just logged in 2 online / simultaneous games.

But today with the difference that I can connect without problems after you got the error. The other times you destroyed the game.. now it survived.

This means you can try to reconnect without waiting for the server to getting restarted. Make a fresh install and notify us if it works.

 

[plattfuss]

Well, I think it may actually have something to do with the sequence of logging in.

 

[Bernout1]

I just did my turn and re-logged in without any problems.

[Johnhs]

I can also still log in OK.

Plattfuss, you have AT LEAST till Sat to sort out the problem. I don't think u should give up so soon.

 

[Arckon]

OK, the Aztecs are the only civ left, am I right?

Usually people jump on the Aztecs; whats wrong with them?

lol

I dont want to give up too early but I dont know what else I can try. I am not a computer expert so I can only try things and see if it helped. Maybe somebody with a bit more know how can do that more sophisticated then trial and error. What is the reason not to get a civ selection screen without civs on it? The connection must be there, but obviously not the right data?

 

[Yaotlatoani]

Everything was great at my end as well, with 6 hours left. I just hope everyone else finishes their first turn to avoid restarting again.

 

[g_storrow]

I get same same error I always get when I tried to log on this morning, even after I reinstalled the mod. I am hopefully getting a new laptop today or tomorrow so will try it with that. If not will try with my different machine.

Reinstalling the mod only will not suffice. You have to make a clean installation of the whole game, Vanilla and Warlords.

For some inconceivable reason I am able to login although I havent changed anything. Just in case I have queued my moves for the next 10 turns ...

 

[Bernout1]

Are we still starting over on Saturday?

Also, what's the CivStats registration p/w?

Yep, starting brand new on Saturday morning.

The password is your civ's name.

Good news, though. And with a whole day to spare as well.

Besides the available Aztecs (who has a really nice starting set-up, btw), I see on Civstats there are 4 unclaimed Civs? Have they just not registered with Civstats or aren't they interested in the game anymore?

 

[Junuxx]

I haven't registered on Civstats yet. Should I?

 

[Junuxx]

k, I have now.
