Re: 24 hours..
That's the part I've often had it stuck on as well. Running the game in windowed mode makes it less serious when it dies, you can just open another window. If you End Process from Alt-Ctrl-Delete on the first one it will go away eventually.
Um, hello everyone by the way. I'll be back on my way now...

Re: 24 hours..
Like many of you, I have experienced the game locking up during the 'Getting Game Info' stage. However, I run the game in windowed mode, so it has never caused any serious problem. I can easily terminate the game process, re-open the game, and reconnect to the server (the second time is always fine).
That said, I just did my turn and didn't notice any problem at all.

Re: 24 hours..
This issue is not a huge deal, as long as I am able to squeeze my turns in before the deadline. The only thing that really annoys me about it is the fact that when my game hangs up like that, it is a PITA to try to exit out, it takes it a few minutes to close out on my computer, and sometimes I have to listen to a tiny piece of the song loop, so I have to shut my sound off.

Re: 24 hours..
OK this might be at my end. Some traceroutes are showing me some very strange numbers. Not exactly at my end but up the line of my providor (sbcglobal.net)
Thinks like this usually shake out after awhile

Thanks for looking into the problem, Gandalf.

Have I thanked you lately for the servors, Gandalf?  |

Re: 24 hours..
Are you guys using the IP or game.dom3minions.com? Just wondering if its a routing issue the DNS dodges. I've been using the shortcut from the web dir and have had no problems.
(other than the game crashing if i use the -fawcd tag, which I had to remove)

Re: 24 hours..
I have been using the game.dom3minions.com shortcut. I have not had significant problems, but the game did hang up for me on a couple turns (when the turn clock was switched to 72 hrs). Now that Gandalf has moved back to the 24 hr turn clock, the problem has been resolved from my reference point.
