Hi. =) One of my problems is that I can only stay in the gamespy main chat room for about 20 seconds, and then civ crashes to the desktop. This shows up in a log file (looks like you get a new one for each session) as:
[1437.056] DBG: Resetting the portal! (m_bConnectComplete=false)
[1444.847] DBG: Resetting the portal! (m_bConnectComplete=false)
[1445.097] WRN: Disconnecting from entire Peer Network!
Any thoughts? I can join a game (if I'm really fast about it), but have only been able to play for a few turns before I get a message box saying that all of the other players have been disconnected, and if I want to wait for them, etc. Now - I assume that this means that -I- lost connection to them, but I suppose it could be that the host just quits? In game, I talked to people and they also had problems playing and staying connected in the main chat room. What's going on here? Is it just GameSpy?
My worst problem was when I tried to join a game, and then it came back and said that the game was full. Okay, fair enough - I had tried to join and then the game filled up first. But - hold on! Spock kept on talking and the message box wouldn't close and I couldn't click on anything. And in fact, I couldn't Ctrl-Alt-Del, or -anything- . Eventually I realized that although I was getting the sound from civ and could only see a non-functional civ screen, that my commands were actually working on my desktop. With a few keystrokes I was able to turn off the computer. Okay, no hard feelings, right? Except that the first 4 boots my computer hung on detecting the IDE drives (ouch), and couldn't even get into the bios. Well, on the 5th hard boot, everything was fine.
:idea: :rolleyes: :cool: :doitnow!: :confused: :cute: :evilgrin:
Now, I'm not blaming that last bit on Civ - but I would like to be able to play more than a few turns... I guess I'll keep trying...
Also, I thought I would be really smart and simply load gamespy and find a game and launch civ that way. Only - Civ IV isn't available through the main GS program (yet?) :(
