Help / Re: Crahes joining server

« on: September 13, 2009, 05:33:12 PM »

It's not on a wireless network, just lan connected to internet.
The ports are forwarded to my sons computer OK because other people from outside can join.
When I click join server it's at that point I get the windows error, although occasionally it will display the loading screen then I get the error.

Earlier I tried running a dedicated server, but neither of us could join, we both had the same problem I have.

Looking at that it looks like it's something on my network that is stopping it running?

I have Mcafee. I've tried turning off the firewall on both PC's nothing?

Also on the server log it shows my IP as the external internet one, not my local LAN IP.
Could it be that we are both showing the same External IP as we are both using the same internet connection and thats freaking the game out?

It doesn't matter how many people are on it still crashes.
I don't think its a 'laggy' problem on the list it comes up with the lowest ping, which in theory would be right because i'm on the same network as his PC.

Help / Crahes joining server

« on: September 13, 2009, 08:36:06 AM »

My son has started a blockland server and I'm trying to join it, but every time I do I get a windows error just as it starts to load (Blockland.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close)
I can join other servers OK and other people can Join his server.
We both have our own Blockland keys and I'm using Windows XP and I have a fresh copy, no add-ons or anything like that apart from RTB

I have run a trace and I've attached the console log.

Any help appreciated

As interesting as this 'port debate' is, it's not helping me much, I cant even get 2 PC's working :)
Any more suggestions on my problem?

Yeah, I am using Query LAN and I can see the server no problems.
Also when I set up an internet game, I can use Query Internet and I can see my server in the list.

The reason I opened those ports is because that's what it says in the help box that pops up when you first try to make an internet game.
I've also just disabled the firewall on both PC's too and that made no difference.

**Tingalz** yes both PC's have separate IP's in the same IP range.

Help / LAN game

« on: August 19, 2009, 04:11:04 PM »

I have 2 PC's on the network both running individual genuine licensed copies of Blockland.
I am trying to get them to work across the network to play a LAN game but am having no luck!!
When I try to run as a LAN game the PC that is trying to connect gets the message "The server has dropped the connection" and a message appears on the host screen saying "[player] has left the game"
looking at the log, it looks like the player was kicked because the server thinks it's an internet client, trying to connect to a LAN game
So I tried running it as an internet game. Same thing happens but this time i get the message "blockland ID could not be verified"
I've tried hosting on both PC's and the same thing happens.

I've tried all the usual suggestions on the forum like changing my blockland name or re-entering my blockland key. I even set up port forwarding on my router (port 28000 - 28032).
Also I can connect to internet games no problem on both PC's

Any ideas?
