Not sure. Was working fine then at restart it went down. We are having some storms in the area so who knows what happened in the night. If it flickered on and off quickly? Who knows?

OK, FYI The Fix:

I copied the account.cfg file from a 2 day old copy and wrote over the existing one. It worked.

flhook says cannot connect to list server. Any ideas?

At restart today DSAM shows player accounts and they show in the folders BUT no one who logs into the server can see their accounts, I tried renaming the db file and reloading but still nothing. Any ideas?

Thanks.

How can I increase from 5 to 10 characters per player account?

OK, thanks. I went back to xp but I plan to continue testing this out. Thanks for the help.

Nope. Directx 9 did nothing.

OK. I checked and I have directx 11 on the server. Still cannot find info on directplay.

OK, added the udp to firewall and no dice. I ran updates but don’t see DirectPlay or legacy features anywhere. Still looking.

I had tcp in win xp and it ran fine. I’ll try adding the udp after I’m done with updates. I did see a 2302 udp in netstat but nothing coming in. Thanks for the help. I’ll try it and let you know.

Hmmm, I think I installed business instead of Home. Think that might be the issue>

OK, I don’t see legacy features or directplay. in the add features section. Looking for more info on google

No. Looking for it now. Just install it or do I need to modify anything?

Hello, all. I’ve been running fine with an XP server. But recently Disco made some changes to FLHook 3 and had issues w/ the xp and hook. Issues are fixed now but in the interim I set up the server on a machine running windows 2008 r2.

I used the same numbers in tcp/ip under ipv4 that I had for the XP machine. I unchecked IPV6 and even disabled it under regedit using HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\TCPIP6\Parameters\Disabledcomponents w/ a value of ffffffff

I added the ports to outbound rules under TCP in the firewall individually and did a netstat -an w/ the game running. I cannot see the ports in the list and I cannot see the server in the server list.

Anyone know what I’m missing? I’d hate to go back to XP.

Thanks.

OK. TWC said my IP was being redirected and under DDOS. They said it’ll take 15 days at most for new IP. Whover has the attack under way might run out of $$ if they are paying. I tried the anti ddos from Wodka and no good. I’m running xps3 if that matters. Anyway, I’m geting dyn dns so noone can see the actual ip of the server while logging in,. Maybe that will help.

I cannot connect to it even in LAN. The settings were fine until I banned a player who bragged about his coding skills. TWC said the IP was being redirected and they fixed the redirect but I’m still not able to get past the flhook failure.

Yes. Unistalled the game and reinstalled, I’m going to check TWC and see if there’s incoming traffic. My router isn’t showing anything but I might be looking at it wrong.
