I have the same problem. It locks up and starts eating all available CPU when I try to start it.

I've had that problem before with an ealier version. Disable the friend list sorting, that might help.

okay, I've found a bug with the latest AltaClient:
Upon exiting from server (after finding out that the choosing side/race/color is borked, and deciding to go back to the regular lobby client), when I try to close, AltaClient becomes completely unresponsive, and my CPU usage shoots up to ~100%. Trying to End Task has no effect, so I have to use the more lethal End Process to get AltaClient to go away.

i don not have a "Alta.ini"

the last thing is see is the splash screen of your client. after that only the entry in the taskbar. but i cannot open a window.
when i do rightklick -> close i heare "see you soon" but the task is still running and has to be killed.

friendlist sorting ? what is that ? i don not have a friends list @ the lobby client...
just the thing on the right side which is standard i think.

i had that problem when all server were down .. it was struck in the connect to next host loop
you can connect using regular client, i guess yes ..
you hear the "welcome" ?

what you can try is run my client and ask someone to check if you're online (or check yourself using regular client, but you'll need 2 accounts)

I tried it a few minutzes ago -> still no windows/connect.

Yes i can connect with the standard client. on both computers...

altaric wrote: you hear the "welcome" ?

never heard the welcome. only "see you soon"

did that allready a few times but only the standard client can connect. yours does not (tested with two computers and two accounts)

onlything that happens is that the client eats the whole cputime...

seems like something is wrong .. hard to tell what tho ...
maybe i can try adding debug messages but i don't have time for it now ..
in 2-3 weeks maybe don't know for sure

btw, you installed it exactly in the same dir as the original ?
the exes must be in the same dir

hmmm a log would be cool.... step for step every thing that happens directly in the log...

i think the best way is to uninstall and reinstall TASpring before make a new try....

altaric · Post by **altaric** » 29 May 2006, 13:51

sometimes it refuses to show,
you can try this :

http://membres.lycos.fr/altaric2/bounce_controler.html

here the procedure :
get the controler
run the client
run the controler
in the drop down box, find n:TASclient 0.24 Altamod ...
hit show

if nothing happends, check the boxes and send me the values (or a screenshot)

great ..
now i have a better idea of what's wrong .. but no clues where it comes from .. i'll investigate

at least there's a "fix" for it :)

The lack of the "reload map list" button is really annoying.
Could you pop it back in? (currently, I have to restart the clinet in order to play the new downloaded map)

altaric · Post by **altaric** » 31 May 2006, 19:54

V1.4 (tired of long version number :) )

changed :
ppl can't vote more than once now
unhidden reload map list button
posibly fixed not showing bug

about the request for searching map list when typing, i started implementing it the tested and noticed it was already done :s works only on first char tho

I like your lobby client a lot,
but when i host a game with it i check the rank sum list to balance the
game.
Everyone is ready and the game is balanced so i hit the start button,
then my ally number changes to 2 automaticly and the game starts.
ingame i see that it is 6vs4 know...
i restart and it happends again.
Maybe i have done something stupid or this is a really big bug.
Can someone explain this to me?

Same CPU problem here on the TA_Spring_Server_01.
I cannot run it anymore that way.
this is since 0.24 is needed. the standard client runs normal.
