Dragonheart Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Again me I wrote the same post already in the general forum...but nobody could help me. I have a serious problem to play TCIP games as i get always I/O errors. The facts I can connect with my opponent, both can also chat but as soon as one is sending his turn i get I/O error and the other one the message connection terminated. When i try to move a unit i have the same problem.The odd thing is when i host and try to sent the turn every other options but to finish game are greyed out as usual but.."I CAN STILL CHAT WITH MY OPPONENT". So fact is i dont have a problem establishing connection but to send or receive the data file. What did i change since the last time it worked fine? - i made a new setup of my computer - i loaded the same programms on my computer which i had before - i uploaded upgrades for my WINDOWS 98 - i use now 2004 version of Norton Systemworks (instead of 2002version) (This is a Symatec Product which includes Firewall, Internetproduction and other usefull items) - i downloaded the latest direkt X from microsoft Solutions i tried so far - i reinstalled SC with 1.07g patch - i forwarded port 6530 (Terif read this in another tread) - i disabled the firewall...meanwhile i removed it completely from my PC - i tried also with another player - i checked my internet connection which is ok (i can visit all sites and my mailprogramm is working as well) - i can even sent and receive files via ICQ But always the same problem Any idea?

Hubert Cater Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hi Dragonheart, Sorry to hear about the trouble, Ok looks like you can connect and chat so I don't think it is a problem with your firewalls specifically etc., since you mention that it only happens after you make a move or send a turn, sounds like it might actually be a problem with your TCPIP directory (found in your SC installation folder). Could be the case that it is read-only for some reason and not allowing you to save the TCPIP 'autosave' turn. Either way I would check to see if it is 'read-only' or you could try deleting the TCPIP folder and see if that helps. The game will automatically recreate the folder as needed. Let me know if this helps, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonheart Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Tku for your response ..i will try this in the evening... i found another thing in the manual which could be the reason. Direkt X can cause a problem when one have an old Windows 98 version....as the DCOM programm is missing .....for that purpose i downloaded DCOM 1.3....so more or less it´s D-Day for SC this evening 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka of Carthage Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Ok looks like you can connect and chat so I don't think it is a problem with your firewalls specifically etc., since you mention that it only happens after you make a move or send a turn, sounds like it might actually be a problem with your TCPIP directory (found in your SC installation folder). That was the part that confused me... since if it was a firewall problem, the other items should not have worked. Gonna have to remember the thing about the TCPIP directory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
