Pit Boss Avalon game thread

[lplayer]

OK The last thing I troed resolved the situation. I restored my router settings from a backup and all worked well. So something / someone changed a router setting that prevented it from passing the port 2056 UDP to 192.168.1.100. Anyway the restore seems to have fixed, and so we may continue....

Well that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem for me. I still can't connect as of right now.

 

[JMaltman]

Me too.

Right after I connected to another PTBS game.

 

[Mutineer]

I was trying to log in and can not connect to host.

 

[Dandridge]

While trying firstst time today to connect it didn't work, but after a couple of minutes I could connect without problems. Strange. This has happened sometimes before in this game, too.

 

[HitAnyKey]

I actually got in first try this morning, finally. I've made sure to queue up next turn's move as well, just in case I have trouble over the next day.

 

[Mutineer]

hmm... I was able to connect 5 hour later. Have no idea why such instability.

 

[JMaltman]

I'll try again tonight - lucky I queued up quite a few turns...

 

[azzaman333]

About 2-4 hours ago (cant remember exactly) I couldnt get in.

EDIT: Cant get in now either.

 

[Mutineer]

I would suggest to Host to use connection maintance programm.

I suspect connection from outside droping and it is not registred with host.

This programm solve simular problem in OOB second game.

 

[lplayer]

OK I will find and install a 'maintain connection; program- but therouter log does not show any disconnection. As you see the Uploader has no problem uploading- its just the incomming that has problems. I will try anything to resolve as this game is starting to become interesting.

On another subject. Is it deemed 'fair' to communicate outside the game. ie If I hav eno contactact with a player in within Civ, are excannges of maps and other info (eg via email) deemed acceptable?

 

[Mutineer]

In my opinion I think it is unfair and agains spirit of the game.
One can not trade maps befor paper or trade parts of maps in game, so such actions probubly should be pronhibited.

 

[Mutineer]

No one can connect this turn, I tryed 10 times in different times.

 

[azzaman333]

I havent played a turn for the last week.

 

[lplayer]

Sorry, but the server was left unattended for a few days and went dead about mid day today. I have therefore reloaded Sundays game (ie we lost 24 hours) as so many of us could not get in.

I will continue to host this game but can not resolve the technical problems, so if anyone has a better chance of hosting then I wiould be willing to foster Avalon out. If not then I will continue as best as I can.

Is it BT? Is it Linksys? Is it me? Possibly all three!

I have had many problems getting my Civ IV game to work. It freezes after about 2 minutes of play. Nothing has changed on my computer, so I dont know what the problem could be. It only is a problem for Civ IV. I can play Warlords fine. I tried reinstalling, changing settings and even taking apart the computer with no positive results. Unfortunately, I am going to have to withdraw from this game. Please find a replacement player for me.

First come first served! I suggest that Taok supplies you with his login so that you may take on immiediately.

 

[HitAnyKey]

easiest way would be for you to just boot Taok to AI. This way agemo can log in making up his own password.

 

[agemo]

I have sent an email to Taok for the ip and password
