504MrWolf Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 My 1.1 wont connect to ANY servers AT ALL PERIOD it did and now it doesnt !! I need a ED Dev to look in to this weirdness as they have done something to 1.1 and i cant fix it, i edited the network.LUA script to lengthen my connection timeout time which worked the 1st time i did it and after a 1.1 re-install it now wont connect to any servers. This is not good as i only play online i have no interest in playing the Campaigns. I looks connected but it isnt............how, what,when huh ? Im a dedicated Lockon player and supporter and i run a well visited Lockon site i even got to review the 1.1 Beta and i didnt have any probs but the final version is broke for me and alot of other players, my good friend SilentEagle (top movie make and VT-Birds pilot) cant get it to work. So does anyone know anything about this problem, do i need to buy more RAM because the Lockon Specs dont say i need a GIG+ RAM to play it ! My household budget cant stretch anymore on this project :( Im going outta my mind please help.

Slammin Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 There was a thread detailing how to adjust some timeout values. From what I remember, both client and server may need to be adjusted when some clients have less than 1gig ram.

GGTharos Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 MrWolf, I suggest looking very closely at everything affecting your network setup in windows ... your LOMAC may well be getting blocked by something, somewhere ... however, it may also be prudent to just reinstall the game as well.

504MrWolf Posted April 17, 2005 Author Posted April 17, 2005 i will try a re-install again but this willbe the 3rd this week ! I dont run anything other than Xfire in the background when playing Lockon but i have a 3mbit cable connection so i find it hard to believe it needs all of that ! The server had the LUA edit also as it is mandertory 504 practice now. www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
SilentEagle Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 YUP I had to use a different port to play online...which means i can't connect to anyone's server who didn't set it up specifically for me!

Tracker Posted April 18, 2005 Posted April 18, 2005 Curios trouble. The servers you are joining are hosting 1.1 I hope. Your symptons sound like 1.1 trying to join 1.02 or vice versa. Perhaps there are some lingering pieces that is making your install appear to be 1.02? Some firewalls will permantly block a port automatically. You may have to check the Firewall entries and make sure it hasn't blocked 10308 or Lockon.exe, and if it has switch it to "Allowed" rather than "Blocked" :rolleyes: When all else fails, Eject then read the manual. Oh, and a good wingman helps.
504MrWolf Posted April 18, 2005 Author Posted April 18, 2005 ive done a fresh format and and installed 1.1 on a different HDD so im sure there isnt any 1.0.2 files, also the 504 are a bunch of fairly inteligent bunch of guys and know the difference between 1.1 and 1.0.2 :D So yes it was definatly a 1.1 server i was connecting to (504Blades to be exact) Been out all day watching A-10's at RAF Lakenheath with the flu so if i feel like it i will have a crack at 1.1 in a while. www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
