MP Game - RewriteHistory - 18civ EARTH map historical start position

As far as I can tell problem must be with the ISP. I will call today to see what they can do. I live in a rural area and I have heard that someone has recently moved to our area who works from home and uses the internet VERY heavily to send very large files or something. It could be this fellow is hogging the limited bandwith we get out here.

Given my previous experience with ISPs I think the best solution would be for someone else to take over hosting. Please. It wouldn't be difficult to do. Game is on hold until then.

My experience is that getting hold of hosts is very difficult as anyone who would be willing to host games are already doing so and there are way too few games as it is so if you can't host odds are this game is as good as dead.

 

[Pexicus]

I'm the only one who managed to connect?

I'll try again today as soon as I get home, I'll test also the other hamachi network.

No banana. Now I'm getting timeout too, can't connect to game no matter which one hamachi net I use.

Ah well...

About the hosting part; I have plans to set up a permanent pitboss on my home linux box, but that'll be later during summer. No help to solve the current situation, I'm afraid.

Oyzar, don't be such a pessimist!

Zen are you sure is a ISP problem? Check firewall settings or anything that could be...

 

[Indiansmoke]

This is propably not isp problem, as already mentioned check firewall, router, open ports etc. Also reboot the hosting machine it could help.

 

[Ulfang]

It all happened on the back of the previous ISP problem. Could the save been screwing things up or doesn't it work like that (as I'm not exactly very technically minded when it comes to servers lol)

Well I have done all these things and it hasn't helped. But I will keep fiddling with it until I get some results.

If you can't work your way out of it I can host it. When you feel that you are at a dead end e-mail the last save file to whiplashATwiDOTrrDOTcom.

 

[Provolution]

Good initiative Whiplash, please keep us all posted.

 

[zenspiderz]

You are a life saver or at least a game saver.

I have done everything i can and with no result. so I have sent email to you with save file and game details. Thanks.

If fact everyone 3 cheers for whiplash!

Does this have anything to do with Hamachi? I just noticed that I am unable to join/find either network listed.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

I'll load the game and have the server up this evening. I'm GMT-5.

I won't be using Hamachi. The IP will be posted once the server is up.

 

[Hercules90]

Yes a big thanks whiplash_CDC for doing this.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

The game is up.

IP is 24.209.166.152

Note: If you kill the host you may kill the game.

 

[Ulfang]

Thanks Whiplash. I'll assume it's the same password to enter the game...

No rule: No declaring war on Whiplash for two turns ... sounds fair lol

Zen is now targettable

Out of interest what was the benefit of Hamachi again? I know there was one but I've forgotten....??

If 2 players without their firewalls/routers configured correctly try to join the game at the same time, the game may hang at "connecting to peer".

Hamachi avoids that.

 

[Ulfang]

Ahhh so can we still use Hamachi or does it need to be configured via the host to work?

 

[Pexicus]

Very subtle hint!

Happened to me just moments ago. Unable to connect peer Adrian.
