Yah, funny u mention that b/c I at 1 point got that same message out of the 10-20 attempts I made, lol. Although I should add that under my Clan Account I was able to get to the "Character Select" screen. But when I saw that I quickly went back to my own personal account to try again but, of course, nothing. That figurez, Since then I keep getting that; Nothing, lol. Though I am noticing that the player count keepz changing up and down so mayb if we keep trying we might b able to b 1 of the lucky 1's, lol. But yah, ur probably right Neuromancer, they just might b doing that. I hope so, I cant wait till the new MOD is done & everybody is on without any problemz. Thanx for ur response anywayz Neuromancer...!

The test server is running completely seperately so there should be two entries on the server list; the main server and the test server.

Please make sure the list loads and you select the server which doesn't have "test" in it's description.  This should not be causing any issues but please let me know if you see only the test server and not the main server after giving the list a moment to load both.

Hmm, does seem that there's some form of crossover.  Talking to Luke who's hosting test server at the moment.  Hopefully be resolved shortly.

Ok so this is awesum that the new MOD has finally been released and available for us "Voidians" to download, but, hehe, from my understanding the new MOD (V9) is currently out of "Test Phase" (or wutever u wanna call it) and is now "Good to go" for all to dowload, install, then play. well ive done all that & ive been trying to connect but to no avail. everything appearz to b fine that I can see except that ive been trying for over an hour & a half nearly 2 and I havent seen a single go on (mind u im getting this figure from the player count on the homepage). Anywho Im just excited to get in-game & play so see every1 out there when we can I suppose, lol,  :D

Latrzzz,

Kevin

Logged right on with no problems today. Of course I changed some settings to allow data access across domains before trying to log on , so I don't really know if that helped.

WickedX1, there were problems with FLServer having crashed and FLAC not restarting it.  These were resolved so there shouldn't be any further issues.  There are a couple of issues that are causing the server to crash periodically but Luke is looking to resolve these.

At present the mod is under "Open Testing" release so there are likely to be bugs but we will look to resolve these over the course of 1 - 2 weeks (depending on size and number) and have full release by Friday 15th October.  If there's any change to this timescale there will be an announcement to that effect.

Server is very unstable last couple of days, so I guess you were out of luck when trying to conect because it often denies connection :-<

Hi WickedX1,

It appears the server was crashing during this period so it's still possible it's related to the crashes, not to your computer or installation.

Please let me know how the server appears when you try to connect, for example does it show on the list with players or no players, give ping, what stage do you get to, can you view your list of characters or not connect at all, etc.

Thanks,

-Alpha
