Problem connecting to network games.

Post by nir_hp »

Hello there.

Strange problem I have, when I host games there are no problems, everything works perfectly.

But if I want to play a game which someone else hosts, most of the times I get to the game screen, I see the map, I see the players names list, but my name is red (while others are yellow and green), and I can't do anything, even if I wait.
Seldom, it does connect and works fine (I'm able to play a game).

I would like to note that the "creating sky" stage of the running process takes more time then I think it should.

Yeah that happens to me on a few hosts. As far as I know it's either their firewall blocking you, or you're not loading fast enough. How long does it take you to load?

And in 75b2 loading lua doesn't get it's own message; it's actually doing that for a good part of when it says 'creating sky'.
