Gandalf...thanks for the offer, but don't want to inconvenience you that way. Knowing this game takes a half hour to host helps put things in perspective.

keep at it, even with the annoyance of trying 6 times it still only took like 5 minutes.

I use the shortcut on the web directory
double click
see "waiting for info"
ctrl-alt-delete, task manager
don't do anything other than right click, close the dom tab
wait a sec
click end task
wait a few secs
click don't send
close task manager
repeat
takes maybe a minute or so on my comp

The first 6 times I also had firefox, outlook up and closed them for the time it worked. I really think it was coincidental, but you never know.

Ctrl+alt+del is boring, I added "--window" in my shorcut. When it hang I just close(X) the window.

Here is my shortcut line :
"C:\Program Files\dominions3\dom3.exe" --ipadr game.dom3minions.com --port 9876 --tcpclient --window

Heehee. Its not inconvenience. Im totally lazy. Thats why I had pre exec and post exec added to the server commands. The post exec for this game has a section that sends the stat file to a list of email addresses. Its all automated. If I cant automate something, it doesnt tend to get done more than once.

HAHAHA....I followed jutetrea's method and it hung once then it logged on.

Problem is this computer is approaching ancient..circa 2003 and very slow. It takes about 4 full minutes to cold load Dom3. And getting out of the hung game takes more like 2 or 3 full minutes per occurance.

I hate anything windowed.. but then again I guess I could just hit alt-enter(?) right?

alright, you win. windowed is way easier

OK I cleared off a DoS attack. Let me know if that helps

jutetrea · #**157** May 7th, 2007, 01:03 AM

Traveling for the next 2 nights so turns will be slow. I should still get them done as long, just won't be till late EST.

Gandalf Parker · #**158** May 7th, 2007, 10:33 AM

So is anyone still having the connection problem?

jimkehn · #**159** May 7th, 2007, 10:48 AM

I did last nite, Gandalf. It took the third try using your .lnk icon on my desktop. Haven't tried it this morning, yet. But I did it last nite after you posted the DoS attack message.

For those great nations who know the meaning of this the word has been agreed upon and the following message has been whispered across the land:

"The Shadow March has begun."

Take actions accordingly.

From --The Prophecies of Mictlan-- :

"And accordingly, so was a shadow sent forth. And the shadow did battle with another shadow, under cover of darkness. And there were great gnashings of teeth, and crunchings of bone, and rippings and tearings of wriggly fleshy bits. In the end, one shadow stood over the other. But behold! The spirit of the fallen shadow was not vanquished, only banished to its home."

Mictlan will return to the land of Lanka one day, and the shadow prince will be destroyed for good.
