Westwood online disconnected

[pr0 dun3r]

when im trying to connect to XWIS i get this^^ message..

what does it mean/how to solve it?

btw ebfd v1.09 bought ages ago.. with orginal serial..

[erjin999]

When does it say that ? When you try to go online or once you have logged in to the server or what ?

More info would be helpful, thanks.

[pr0 dun3r]

mostly in the moment of logging..

sometimes it seems like its logged,  list of servers comes up (with no server), then after pressing "refresh" the message pop up.

thanks for the answer, though this game is dead already.. hoped to play online first time (not first time in multiplayer)

*EDIT*

after reading your other posts ive found the reason - im not registered on the server -.- so i have to wait till (or if) registration server will come up..  or not?

[erjin999]

WAs about to say...yes...seems like it isnt actually accepting your details on the server.

is XWIS still up and running? I thought everybody is on ra's server...

[erjin999]

It is still up and running, but hardly used by emp players. It tends to have less connection issues then RAs.

in fact i cant connect to any server.. im just not registered..

second thing is that i cant even connect by VPN (ex. hamachi) i see my friend on.. but we get timed out each time when trying..

[erjin999]

Well on both XWIS and RAs servers, you neednt register as such, just log in with a new set of login details <username> and <password>. There are some restrictions on the password (should not be too weak and must be 8 chars long, I think) but thats all. So long as no one already has your nick, and I dont think they will have, you should be ok.

Also worth noting is that there are only about 3 nicks per serial allowed, so while you state you have the original serial, if you had allowed others to login with 3 or more nicks, you wouldnt be able to login.

Hope that makes sense.

Yes i have orginal serial, as i said before.. also my pass is 9 characters long (and strong), but still something seems not to work. I'm 100% sure i didnt give my serial to anyone, but is that possible that it was forgotten somehow?

second thing.. how can i check serial im playing on? i've searched all over registry but all i found was location of the game. I'm asking that cause i have also "illegal copy" cutted out of all movies and SIC.. (thats why i bought orginal :P) all instalation there was automatical, without entering serial.. i'm just curious

[erjin999]

Could be the problem. Did you uninstall the old illegal version before installing this one ?

Check here, but I think it is encrypted..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWestwoodEmperor]

Try uninstalling, then delete all the related reg keys ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWestwood]) it then reinstalling it.

[pr0 dun3r]

nope it isnt the problem

its not encrypted

and full reinstall didnt work either

:(

[erjin999]

It certainly isnt meant to be your serial in normal format, its either encoded or encrypted.

Dont know what to say then. Try contacting Mr RA ?

I think it is serial problem.. i've installeted this game on my copy with friend's serial and.. everything went right. Installing his copy on his pc with my serial didnt work, so it must be fault of serial.

[erjin999]

Interesting. The only way it could be a serial problem, that I can think of, on RA's server...is if there are currently more then 3 nicks assigned to that serial number in its database. So if someone created 3 nicks in the last, what, year and a half since the DB was reset (guesstimate) then it would explain it.

Then the question is who has had your serial in the last year and a half ?  (RA would be better able to tell us exactly when the server DB was reset, although I know it was done at least once after the server went "live").

Just play with your friends serial ? Or use a nick name created with his serial ?

[pr0 dun3r]

yes.. i do play on his serial ;)

im 100% sure i did not give it to anyone.. i did not use it for ages.. and last time used was time when i didnt have internet connection..

well.. problem solved anyway ;)

now im hoping that i could connect with friend by hamachi.. dont know if it will work on same serial?

um.. thanks for your time.. ;)

I cant see why it will not work on Tamagotchi if it works on RA's or XWIS...

Good luck !
