As the header tells you i have no idea WHY the error is heppeneing. Iv opened all the ports, both on the router AND my firewall. Then, just to be on the safeish side, i tunrd the firewall off. But i still cant connect with the game. Theire are NO obvious resons, and its not my computer (whitch can run TAspring in single player fine) nore is it my internet connection (cause im posting RIGHT NOW). I have no idea what the problem is! can anyonehelp?

That's because something is preventing the host from showing his port properly. ISPs have been known to block ranges of ports, and this could be one of the issues. Find a port that works for you to host on and make sure your ports are open, is all I have to say.

I added a feature in the latest version that lets you click "Test" when trying to set up a battleroom. The server tries to connect to you on the port you specified and will tell you whether or not it succeeded. This should greatly reduce confusion in the future.

My friend had this exact problem. Try updating your video drivers.

To elaborate, whenever a game was started with a script, it would crash as soon as the game "started". This included single player games with scripts, obviously, and multiplayer games as well, since they quietly use scripts. If he loaded up the game without a script (single player no-script) he was able to play (not do anything) just fine.

Well actualy for the last dosen hours iv been playing with one of my frinds, hooking up with the direct to IP adress you get when you open the .exe and no the client. Its been a blast! (and i dont know how i could sneak a Krogoth into his base, but i did!). The game can lode, the game can play. Its the conncetion that is wrong. But i will up date my drivers, just in case.

Firewalls and routers.

Need I say anymore

i guess i can add here without starting a new thread.

Im basically having the same problem and a very frustrating day trying to play this game. I turned off my firewall and have no router, and my isp doesnt block ports, so much for that assumption.

In 8+ hours ive successfully played 2 games, and have updated my video card drivers after the last game when i failed to join another 10.
If I host a game, the other players crash after loading. If i try to join a game, 98% of the time the game will crash right back to the battleroom, and some annoyed players will come back out and ask what happened. The 2 games i played were so much fun that Im not willing to give up but Im getting close. Help, thanks.

please be more specific with crash, if the game counts down and then closes, try telling them to all download this and put it in their spring directory:

http://liam.ziest.com/retry.bat

then all you have to do is double click on it. (the file contains "spring script.txt" and nothing else)
the problem i have is this: my computer runs like a dead dog with no legs, so while it's loading units, people try to connect and don't get a response, all this does is allow them to retry. this could be fixed by letting the host run first, then when he's loaded, he click start and everyone else loads, or making spring retry the connection more than once.

Is that ├é┬½crashes├é┬╗ or just counting down until it jumps out of the game?

Try this. Do not press "Return" when game is loaded so it will not start yet. All who didn't made it (you to them or them to you as a server), try joining by IP, instead of through the BattleRoom (i supose you are trying through the BattleRoom!?)

I get the same problem as well it almost always crashes just after loading everything. I say almost because i have played a few games where everything has been just fine. I see the map for a split second and see a message such as "connecting to server -11" and then it quit to the desktop... I've got the latest version of everything that i can think of.

I'm just at a loss of what to do next.

Well Alantie my fire wall is down and my ports are open. ALso to be excuciatingly specific..... I wait as the game lodes. It lodes. A i can see the terrain and the other names of the players. Its usualy like this

Namelessfacelesssexlessplayerwhodosentexist
Namelessfacelesssexlessplayerwhodosentexist
Namelessfacelesssexlessplayerwhodosentexist
Zoombie

Land rush him. He will either have to convert he's strategy into a land based one (risking beeing crushed) or he will get slowed down and allow you precious time to take control of the map and eventually sufocate him. (I'm taking in consideration you play a map that's not too big)

The key word against all those who rush into aircrafts, is pressure!
(Well, actually it was in the old TA. Now i can't be too sure but...)

I have the exact same problem, but I've been unable to resolve it. I've done pretty much the same that Zoombie has, with the exception of the LAN and the actual playing online.

Spring RTS Engine
