LoL my server was in your video :p

Anyway.

Reinstall AOS and try using the version that is being spread around the forum.

You can join a server here: http://ace-spades.com/forums/topic.php?id=404

Can you give me a link to the version thats being spread because i couldnt find it :( Thanks

The game is now back open and you can host the normal one :)

I tryed that link you gave me to website and i couldn't join still. I tryed typing it into web browser and it just serched it instead of doing anything.

You're using Chrome. Maybe Chrome doesn't check the aos-protocol correctly. Try joining a server with internet explorer.
Another idea would be: Read this post and download the reg-file. I don't know how Chrome handles mime-protocols but maybe it will recognize it. Otherwise download Firefox.

I Downloaded your Mine_aos, but it had an error after i clicked it. I decided to run it with cilent and it said Server Full or misconfigured. Then I decided to put a shortcut of a server on my desktop and i clicked it but is said the Protocal aos dose not have a registered program. :(

Oh and if you also can help me with my other prob in the Bug Section :D

Edit: For my vista, Just the main problem i need to fix is prob getting it to connect to the client. (Clicking on it wont work so that must be the issue)

you have to use internet explorer or firefox, google chrome wont launch the game on any windows OS

I Downloaded your Mine_aos, but it had an error after i clicked it.

What error did you get? Pls make a screenshot of it.

But really - as suggested earlier: Try Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Ive tryed internet explorer AND firefox and same thing :(

What error did you get? Pls make a screenshot of it.

domzori: chrome works fine in w7 and xp for me... please check your information

The Error was:
C:\Users\HP\Desktop\Mine_aos.reg
The Archive is either in unknown format or damaged.

What am i suppose to open it with, cause i tried Winrar and Java

regedit

Oh lol...so even your ".reg"-extension is screwed?
It's not an archive. It's just a textfile with the following content:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aos]
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:Ace of Spades Protocol"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aos\DefaultIcon]
@="client.exe,1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aos\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aos\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\aos\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Ace of Spades\\client.exe\" \"%1\""

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you doubleclick on it, it should create (and overwrite) those keys to the registry.

Try the following:
- click on Start and type into the search field: %systemroot%
- an Explorer window shows up
- now navigate to "regedit.exe", rightclick it and open it as administrator
- click on "File" on the top left and "Import" and locate the "mime_aos.reg" file and press "Open"
- Now close Internet Explorer and try again to play AoS by clicking on one of the servers. If it still doesn't work: Restart your computer and try again.

Btw: Which version of Internet Explorer are you using? You're fine if you're using version 9. If not, download and install it (using Windows Update or external sources via Google).
And may I ask why your file is named "Mine_aos.reg"? My uploaded file is called "mime_aos.reg". It doesn't actually matter but maybe your download got corrupted. Download it again here.

I tryed regedit and it didnt work, Error Said: Cannot Import C:\Users\HP\Desktop\mime_aos.reg: Error Accessing the registry

(Btw that was a spelling error, it actually said mime)
Also I downloaded Internet Explorer 9 and when i clicked one, it just sent me to a page (webpage expired) :( Help Plz

Don't bump please. Does not make help come any faster :)

Hm...this is strange. I suspect the Windows account you're using has insufficient privileges to make changes to the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" branch of the registry. Are you sure you're using an administrator account?

If not, log off your current account and log on to your administrator account. Then first try this:
- Uninstall the game.
- Reinstall it by rightclicking it and using "Open as administrator".
- It should work now.

If it still doesn't work:
- Under your administrator account, try the "mime_aos.reg"-file again.

If it still doesn't work:
- Use this tutorial to enable the hidden built-in administrator account.
- Then try the "mime_aos.reg"-file again.
- Don't forget to disable the account again.

Now pls tell me it works. :S

(I guess the main problem was that you didn't install the game with rightclicking it and "Open as administrator" in the first place, or did you? That's why the game could not register the aos-mime, so the browsers don't recognize it.)

maybe ben needs to look at the installer and either not allow you to install without admin privileges or use an HKEY_CURRENT_USER fallback registration for mime types!??!

I Was Thinking Maby i need to path Aceofspades to the internet?

Okay I tryed your thing Green Beret, And
1. There is no option to run the install with Administrator, until you get to the install button which automaticly dose for you.
2. I think im already on my administrator account because I have had only one account for the longest time, and that when i tryed to make the hidden on it said 5 errors had occured and didnt make the account.

I dont know how to do make a path, unless it dosent work
