So I've tried to put up a server, but couldn't get much further than gray ocean. It shows up on the server list, and I can join my own server and walk around, but everyone else apparently just gets a gray world.

I'm not sure if it matters but yeah, I tried not playing in my own server, people still get gray worlds. I can usually see lots of clients joining and leaving.

I have forwarded both TCP and UDP 32887. Not sure if TCP is necessary.

Now here it gets weird: I can't check if 32887 is forwarded via canyouseeme.org. It tells me the connection times out.

I have other ports, both above and below 32887, both TCP and UDP, that I have forwarded for other purposes. canyouseeme.org correctly shows the forwarded TCP ports as open, and gives a time out error for UDP ports.

Apparently you can't check UDP with sites like these anyway, you need to communicate with the actual server. Though then again, if my server appears on the list, I guess the port is open?

By the way, if I forward just 32887 TCP, canyouseeme.org still doesn't say it's open. What the hell? I dunno lol.

This appears to be a major problem, since half the servers are empty right now and probably for this reason. Another quarter have some players, but you get a gray world, probably for the same reason.

So what's with the gray world thing? Is it a configuration problem? Is it because the server bandwidth (master or individual) is saturated? Is it because of latency/lag?

Hey guys, this might sound noobish but I've tried before and I can't find where my screenshots save. Do I need an application? Or is it hidden somewhere deep in my hard drive? If you could help me out that'd be great!

I get this EVERY TIME I connect to the server
like
EVERY TIME
seriously what

just updated drivers and everything

So I go to this website, and follow the link from the (now down) home page. I then hit download and save on the link. Then a Norton Antivirus hint appears at the bottom of the page. It essentially says that there is a medium threat for the item I just downloaded, and when I looked even further, it says that it took the liberty upon itself to automatically remove the item i just downloaded. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. Is there some way to tell norton to fuck off so I can play this game without having to uninstall my virus protection? Any help is appreciated

Also, I've already read the guide and it didn't help very much with my problem

Its says to forword port... but i dont know what that means someone please help me.

Title should say enough, but clarification:

I get to the Downloading Map screen and the progress bar fills very quickly, but a couple of seconds after it fills, the game just exits without an error message.

I need help,

I cant join any servers when ever I do it says "Server Timeout:version mismatch or map transfer fail "

I changed the browser, and the display is 32bit, so is there an another solution to this problem becuase I really want to play,

I've never had this problem before. so someone please help.

Cheers,

Gentlemen, this is a tutorial on how to set up a server without using Master Server verification.

Step #1

Download the following file: http://www.2shared.com/file/uVJJDlg3/AoSNoMaster.html (the file is from http://mango12.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12425), and doesn't have any viruses in it. Scan it on virustotal if you want to be a douche.

Password to the file is "lol9000", without quotes.

Step #2

Place AoSNoMaster.exe into your Ace of Spades directory.
Once the file is in the directory double click it, and a window should pop up saying "Patch Complete!" (or something similar...)

Step #3

Run the server.exe and test it, I assure you it works!

!!!!MAKE SURE YOU'VE PORTFORWARDED ON PORT 32887!!!!

Step #4

To connect to your server, create a text file and insert the following into it:

client.exe xaos://16777343

Save it as "anything.bat", then run it, it should connect to your server

Step #5

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Step #6

PROFIT!

Hi,

Can someone help me,

when i go on the website to join the game servers,

there are no servers at the moment, it just says testing beta or something.

is that for everyone or is it just me.!!

PLease help!!!!!

Whenever I leave a server (due to a glitch or to come back later) I always get the "server is full or misconfigured" error when I try to join it again. This even occurs on my server, where I can see that people are still joining and playing.

How do I fix this?
