[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: Arrgh! My new internet won't play nice with AC!

Akal-Saris Posts: 937 Registered: Oct 11, '01 Extended Info (if available) Real Post Cnt: 934 User ID: 455,135	Subject: Arrgh! My new internet won't play nice with AC!
	Hello fellow TD players! The good news is that I've just started using my only wireless connection through Comcast instead of mooching off of my old neighbors' open connection. The bad news is that I can connect to AC without any problems, but when I try to log into AC, my character remains a purple swirly figure for 2-3 minutes, then I DC from the game. Has anyone else had this problem or any suggestions to fix it? The reason I posted this on the server board is also to let my fellows in WS' allegiance and my other friends know about my disappearance until I can get this sorted out :P -----signature----- (none)

	I have read about this problem when looking into a different one, if you delete some of the AC registry files it should work. Lemme look through my msg history here... -----signature----- Vassal of Ling Mei, follower of Enak Recovering AC-aholic Gimps rock. Buff bots suck. DT, Darkfall: Araanidim, Sokurah EVE: Case Reiderer

	Not quite the same problem, but: "April 15th, 2010 - Link Q: All of a sudden when I launch AC, both vials fill up, and then acclient crashes. This is happening on both of my computers? A: It sounds like you might have a corrupted dat file. Your .dat files are in your AC folder. One thing you can do to avoid a complete reinstall is to delete one file and re-patch to see if that fixes the issue. I'd try to do this with these files first. client_cell_1.dat client_highres.dat client_internal.dat client_local_English.dat client_portal.dat Sev~ Severlin Producer" I know I have read about your problem before though. Should be able to find and answer somewhere -----signature----- Vassal of Ling Mei, follower of Enak Recovering AC-aholic Gimps rock. Buff bots suck.

	Thanks Daernwyn - I tried it but had the same issue, except that less of my character info loaded than previous attempts. The second reason that I think it is related to my connection is because I play on two different computers, and both had the problem simultaneously. -----signature----- (none)

	It maybe the modem itself, or worse something going on at the isp. I know I never had luck running AC on those modems that combine wireless routing and or digital phone into one device, some people may have different results but I didn't. Your neighbor have the same isp but a different modem? If so that would strongly point to the culprit. -----signature----- signature coming soon.

	I think comcast is the only provider in our area, so same provider. Oddly enough, my neighbor and I are both using a Belkin router, but mine is likely a different model. It's the previous tenant's router, which was very tricky to set up and rather...fussy..., so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if that is where the problem lies. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm stuck with it for the time being. Hrmph. -----signature----- (none)
