I just joined!

 

[TheNoob]

It's just me and Spirictum in the actual game right now

 

[DKVM]

Do you want me to join?

 

[CaterpillarKing]

We're doing this NOW?

 

[Spirictum]

So it works. There is a single spot left on STPitboss Network. I would like to fill it for us to see if I can create a second network with the ones left and connect these guys to the same game

 

[Spirictum]

We're doing this NOW?

No, we are testing, you should try to join now too

 

[GreekAnalyzer]

I'm trying but Hamachi downloads in an .exe file. So I'm using a program to convert it into a Mac .app File. It's taking awhile so I may or may not join. And that's if it works.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

I'm gonna try to join now

 

[Spirictum]

try to see if there is a hamachi for mac or someway around

 

[DKVM]

TheNoob, your firewall configuration is apparently preventing me from rejoining.

 

[TheNoob]

Apparently people can't get in because of my firewall

Spirictum and I are trying to work on fixing it

 

[GreekAnalyzer]

Got it. Tried to get in but it's full. Also can we get on like an IM service of some sort?

 

[Spirictum]

Well it seems The Noob is prohibiting Baseballpie to join. So here is what everyone must do on their Firewall (if not done yet):

There exists an Exceptions List.

Search for Windows Firewall on your pc.

When found in the left menu go to Advanced Settings.

Then you'll be at the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security. Here you'll find in the left menu a field called Inbound Rules. If you click it a list of exceptions will appear in the middle of the screen.

Now search for Civ4 Beyond the Sword. I have 4 instances of that (I have no idea why). If you don't find it, here is how you activate it:

In the right there is an option called New Rule, click on it

Then it'll pop a new window with the procedure of adding an exception. First choose Program

Then find your BtS .exe

Then say you want it to Allow Connection

Next you say you want it for everyone that uses your pc

And finally you give it a name

@TheNoob tell me if this is your case. If you already have it then we will need to look further

 

[Spirictum]

So I'm now creating STPitboss2 network, same pass, go there Greek and others*

EDIT:* By others I mean who didn't join STPitboss original

 

[GreekAnalyzer]

My firewall isn't the problem it's just that the server is full.

 

[TheNoob]

BtS is on the exception list four times with green checks near them

 

[Spirictum]

GreekAnalyzer, TheNoob, Caterpillar King, Baseball Pie, DKVM and me are already able to play the game! So who else is left?

 

[Moai_Spammer]

i dont think steam civ 4 has pitboss anymore

 

[TheNoob]

Moai how dare you not have pitboss!

 

[Spirictum]

honestly, download it through torrent. to the hell with copyright things, you have the game you may download it.

or try to revert back to a steam version that has direct ip
