Illarion.org

When i try to log into Illarion the screen goes black with only the pointer like usual, but stays like that for about five minutes then my computer freezes. Every time i try to log in. Any suggestions?

The server may have been down. That's when that happens to me.

No, happens every time i try to log on, even when it says the server is up.

Maybe you put the Illarion.exe on your desktop and not together in the folder with the other Illarion files?
Another problem may be a router (or any firewall), check if you have one.

No firewall and Illarion is in original folder.

Some information about your system are helpful. What is your OP system? and how is the configuration from your machine? Maybe you need some newer drivers for your graphic card?

OS is windows 98 , and i know it isnt my graphics card because Illarion worked fine one time before this happened.

Or maybe even an older graphics driver? I remember at one time when I had 98se installed I had to roll back my driver everytime I wanted to play illa, then update when I wanted to play counter strike. Older drivers especially drivers that come with windows tend to be more stable.

i have the graphics card that came with my computer and the drivers from windows 98

reinstall illaroin. maybe this will work..... hmm..you say you have no firewall... maybe you catch a virus? check them and install a firewall and an viruschecker.

You may just have to reboot your computer, unless you've already done so.
Check to make sure the Illarion files are in the right place.

Oh, also, don't go by what the front page says about the server. It always says it's up, even when it's not. ~.

I uninstalled illarion, downloaded it again, then reloaded it. Still same thing happening.

Can you give some info about the computer you're using?
If you're not sure how to get this information, go to Start, Run and enter: dxdiag - press enter and wait for a moment.

I still think it was the server. During his last post saying it happened again, I know for a fact the server was down. I was watching it with a hawkeye.

Try right now.

tried when you told me to and just now. Still same thing

You wrote you have the drivers fromyour graphic card from Win 98. Visit the website from the manufacturer from this card and download the newest driver. Maybe you need a newer version of directx? load down the latest release from the microsoft server.... is your machine working well? maybe you have some collisions with the interrupts..... or the drivers are not correct installed.....

havent released any more drivers...this is gfx card that came stock with my crappy PC. and i download latest directx, still no show. PC is working fine though.

I am getting the same problems aswell.,

OS- Windows XP home edition. Have SP2 installed atm.

DX- directX 9.0c

Video card-S3 Graphics inc. Savage4, main driver is s3sav4.dll, version 5.12.0001.8012

Soundcard-VIA audio, main driver is ac97via.sys, version 5.10.0000.3622

internet- Connected with DSL. Currently running through a Linksys router and am using the firewall equiped with windows.

Get rid of SP2. Trust me.

I am having the same problem, some times after a few minutes have elapsed there will be a cannot connect message... I waited a few hours and tried again, with the same thing happening.

OS- Windows XP
DX- DirectX 9.0c
Videocard- Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
Soundcard- Realtek AC97 Audio
Internet- COX cable hooked up through a wireless LAN. I use no firewall (Thank you Firefox )

Well, the server is currently down. That may be part of the problem.

I also looked at site stats to see who is online, and it says I am... Server crash possibly?

Yep.

Ah... I see... So there is a problem with the server... Ah well... Thanks for the help.
