[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.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: OT: Hi everyone, trying to get back into AC!

	Hi all Long time no see I've been trying to get back into AC but no luck System is: Vista 32bit, running AVG, AdAware, Spybot and basic vista firewall, hooked up to a wireless router provided by Be*. I'm having problems connecting to AC to update the client. First time I had to completely uninstall AVG and disable the firewall. That only got me as far as the blue vial page where the update progress vial would not fill and ended up with a "connection to server failed" error. I've read that AC supposedly works with AVG but for me this doesn't seem to be the case. I've tried opening ports on the router from 8050 to 9020 but tbh I'm not sure if I've done it correctly as the router is a pos. I've just tried getting into AC again after uninstalling then reinstalling both AC and AVG but I can not update the client page where it shows the worlds Any ideas how to fix this? Many thanks!

	I had this issue and fixed it by downloading the vista hotfix as posted in the ac.turbine tech forums and I can play with Vista & AVG no problem -----signature----- (none)

	I had the same problems did everything the ac forum boards said to do. Anyways i ended up uninstalling mcafee, and installing avg that worked once then wouldnt after that. I then tried Avira, and now i can patch and get on i would try downloading it. Sucks though idont like the fact i have to use crappy virus software just to play AC... They really need to come up with a solution. -----signature----- Go Lvl 230 Battle Mage

	Nothing wrong with "free" virus software like AVG, Avira, and Avast. McAfee is nothing but bloatware. I personally use Avast and it works great. -----signature----- Zenaph of Leafcull Player since January 14, 2000
