Spectral Paladin Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 You don't need to restart pc. You have to use ctrl+alt+del and close emperor.exe, dune.exe and game.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNWOUNDS Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 i agree with you spicy... it is like a trap... i usually just sit in lobby if i want to surf web or i ask a friend to host instead so i can surf the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff2429 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 If it happens to you once don't try to enter again... Page them and ask if they are there so you can enter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 How about they dont do it ? I myself do it for only a few seconds, just to check out the whos online page, or see if anyone has replied to my msn msgs to join me on emp...But to minimise and bugger off ? Sheesh. Its not too hard to close the host and surf. Its unreasonable to expect people to know that a host is away, and yes, login again using CTR+ALT+DEL and dont join that host, make a new one or something, it is do able, but its a pain having to do that.Having said that, RAs server doesnt lock nicks, so its not the same issue it used to be on XWIS/WOL...

RA1024 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I think I can make it so the server sends back a "kick" response if the host is minimized and doesn't send back a response to the join in a timely manner. Just remind me of this and I'll look into it when I have a chance to do some more work on the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remind me of this and I'll look into it when I have a chance to do some more work on the server.ok, here is your reminder. Ra, you said something about kicking someone if the did something. Thanks. :PYou are talking about kicking the host, yeah ? So that others cannot join it and get stuck as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I think he means kicking the player who tries to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well then others will join and get stuck and peeved too.Would be nifty if we could have the host get a "diconnected" when he came back to the game. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 How will one get stuck if he's kicked while trying to join the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 One wont get stuck if he is kicked, its other who join that will get stuck, or kicked. Its better to remove the person causing the problem once, rather then remove everyone once they have been affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 If a host is minimized everyone who tries to join gets kicked. Noone gets stuck. It's the same as if the players didn't try to join the minimized host in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Nooo, its not the same. If no one joined the game, you wouldnt have 10's of people having to log back in.Unless he means kicked out of the host, not the game, which is what I take it to mean.Either way I think it would be good to close hosts where they dont send a reply to a join in a timely manner. It would save those players having to wait for a timeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Paladin Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I can't speak for ra but I 'm 99% he means kicked out of the host. Yea closing the host would be the best idea but I 'm not sure if it's possible. The server can probably close the host (no longer display it in the lobby) but the host's comp itself won't know that.Anyway, I 'll stop guessing and let ra say what he means to do.

erjin999 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well, it can simply disconnect him, and the game would know, as it would timeout, which has happened to a few of us onXWIS when it had its funny days.But yeah, lets stop guessing and let the Messiah of Arrakis speak for himself.
