It's not the OS "tonygreeen", it's my network =/ I'm going to be living here for a few years, so there's no use wasting more time.

It's pretty much game over for me. The network managers @ my college responded to my ticket and said that there is nothing they can do: "There as so many things that could be wrong…the programming of the game, java, catalyst AI, video card…. You can get in touch with them and tell them we are not blocking your ports. We do not give out static IP’s for students either. I’m sorry I cannot do anything more to help you." Oh well, it's been fun. You can mark the thread resolved, the conflict is out of my control and most likely out of your control too.

I have just tried wurm on a MacOS laptop. I used the same configuration at first, then after an unsuccessful GV load up (login went fine, but buggy graphics), I enabled the "Use nanoTime timer" and the graphics issue was fixed. Therefore the only difference is that I have that option checked for the mac. Here are my findings: MacOS laptop: GV - Logged in successfully and loaded successfully after enabling "Use nanoTime timer". (GV works on PC too) Wild- Connection hanged up like the PC. Didn't prompt for retry, just keep saying "Connecting to server" "." ".." "..." Test- Connection hanged up, unlike what happened on the PC. Didn't prompt for retry, just kept saying "Connecting to server" Windows vista 64-bit laptop: GV- Logged in successfully and loaded successfully Wild- Connection hanged up. Didn't prompt for retry, just kept saying "Connecting to server" "." ".." "..." Test- After about 30 seconds, I get the following message: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine Based on the data, the connection problem seems to be a network communication problem between the server and my network.

Tried, no effect. Remember, I can login to GV server with no problems (not even slight lag). My settings shouldn't too heavily influence it unless the server has some problem with the packets I'm sending out or something. The server either won't give me that little "Login successful" packet (this should appear in my console log after the 2nd "Disabling Nangles" event), or I can't receive it (compatibility issues perhaps?). I don't know why it would work for GV and not wild. This means technically my character is loaded into the server, but I am not given control because I'm not authenticated on my end. I tried connecting on an old expired account located on wild server, and amazingly it gives me the "you need to pay" information instead of freezing up. Kind of ironic. Also some data I forgot to provide: I have attempted to use both 32-bit javaws (located in sysWOW64) and 64-bit javaws (located in system 32). Neither fix the problem, and seem to be relatively the same. The console log you see above is that of my launching the game based on 64-bit javaws (internet explorer based). I use a shortcut: C:\Windows\System32\javaws.exe -Xnosplash "C:\Games\Wurm Online\wurmclient_unstable.jnlp" It is specifically targeted at the correct javaws.exe version for testing (the -Xnosplash part is required for me, otherwise I get that annoying "splash: recv failed" error) *Before you ask, I have attempted using the normal "stable" client. Same problem.

I'm moving this thread here (I had made an earlier one 2-3 weeks ago which wasn't solved) to provide all info in one post on the proper section. People in my village can see me login in their event tab, and can even PM me/see me in local. However, I get stuck on "Connecting to server...", with the ... changing to . .. then ... over and over again. No matter how long I wait, it will continue to do this. I can login to GV AND PLAY on my alt "Aristo" with absolutely no problems, the problem occurs when I try to login to the wild server (on Theo) or test server (on any character). ~When I try to logon to the test server, it actually tells me software on my host machine stopped the connection. So basically for each different server (wild, GV, test) I have a different response. GV = connects fine. Wild = connection freezes indefinately. Test = connection halted and I'm prompted to retry. My wild server character is "Theo" I can successfully ping the wild/freedom servers with 0 packet loss (as I learned when speaking with the GMs). I have disabled all security on my PC and still no luck. The command "telnet 216.139.211.199 3724" (no quotes) also worked without any problems (in my command prompt or cmd) EVENT LOG: Logging started 2010-10-11 [14:46:13] You will now fight aggressively. Therefore, I am connecting to the server. I'm in local and can be talked to, I just can't do anything because I'm stuck on the loadscreen.

From this I believe the problem is one of these two things: 1) I can't connect because my college network is limiting bandwidth ~The problem with this is...well I can play on GV with absolutely no problems. Why would my college network limit wild and not GV? It just seems improbable. I already submitted a ticket and they responded that they weren't blocking any IPs or ports associated with the wild/freedom servers. 2) Wurm's wild server software is somehow bugged, and are failing to submit vital packets to me for some reason. ~Notice in the console log after the second "disabling nangles" event, I fail to get the next event, which is "Login successful". This says something to me: there is a problem between wild server's communication and the login server, which is effecting me. I don't know why this would be so, because no one else seems to be having these problems. Again, I use 64-bit vista and believe that might have a hand in it, but I just don't know. Security software I use (tried disabling/uninstalling all software, didn't help. I have all of these programs on my computer back home, where wurm actually worked 2-3 months ago): COMODO Internet Security Pro (free version) avast! Antivirus (includes webshield/etc) Spybot Search and Destroy (System immunization and protection software) Hope this data helps.

More beautiful thoughts have never been expressed by any other (large flightless bird).

Having the exact same problem ever since the latest update which fixed embarking issues. Didn't report it because I was lazy, but yeah its annoying =p I /dev'd it and they said its probably a new bug due to the update

PHOTOSHOP! grats tho =p

Should be made luminescent (and by that i mean some bright color) Or perhaps there should be like 12 lights in the sky and only 1 of them marks the chest

5 people? Me Maximus Violet Nadroj Horton Where were you guys then? 21 days it was on the test server, not nearly long enough for everything that was added. Try not to pull that please. And I think that some of the things are ready for live, like the locate spells, however a lot of things aren't, most of the enchants and new attack spells haven't been tested thoroughly. I was on for quite sometime, I ran into 3 people. Mortal, Nosyt, and some random dude who I had no idea who they were, and I was on a lot. Rolf probably felt like it wasn't getting tested enough on test, so he moved it to live for more "testers". He can see who logs in and how long they're there, I'm sure. Some spells are over powered, some under powered, it happens. Even big companies like Valve have balance and bug issues. Was anyone playing tf2 this weekend? lol. Nothings going to be perfect. I do feel things will get balanced over time. They aren't exactly terrible right now; just difficulty might be a little high for enchants which may be intended, it might not. A bat patch and a bad gift make people angry. This isn't the time for a major overhaul

+1 Removing religion now only to add it back later won't do a thing if there aren't going to be more people to test it on the test client and it's also true that you can never find all bugs there. Just live with it that the religion fix is in. Read the title of the thread. People are quitting over this, I really don't need your "like it or leave" type posting here right now, because you and 5 others have said it enough. This thread is about preventing wurm from dieing by losing half its numbers.

It was a game overhaul. Stuff like that can take 6 months, NOT the 21 days it was on test.

There are some people who like the religon fix, there just not making a billion posts around it which make it appear the majority dislike it. I would agree with toning down the difficulty to cast, similar to before, but some of the new spells i think are pretty cool. Maybe instead of posting the religon fix sucks, outline exactly what it is you think sucks, and what you think is good. Thats already been done a few times Gavin. The patch needs to be recalled and it needs to be TESTED on the TEST SERVER, rolf needs to listen to the entire community and not just the select few -"like it or leave"- posters that agree with him, and that way people won't leave the game...

Come on rolf...everyone will calm the hell down if you just recall this religion patch, make a thread about it and take SUGGESTIONS on what to do with religion. I enjoy playing this game, but I enjoy playing this game with OTHERS...which isn't going to be possible with everyone leaving. You don't have to kill your dreams, the community just isn't ready for this patch - and the patch itself needs community input

For the sake of the game...just rollback the patch, code in some different christmas gift (from suggestions given) and allow everyone to re-gift, and allow wurm to return to its former glorious self...
