Ok so does illarion work with win xp? My friend is trying to play shes gettin the black screen and the CLosing Connection: The network connection is currently too slow! Check back later! Another reason might be, that you are flooding the Server with commands (with macros for examle). , i told her what to do, dont start from desktop shortcut, etc etc shes tried redownloading, everything, nothigns working. Any suggestions?

And no she isnt behind a firewall or lan.

She is behind 3.3k modem?

'You did not unzip all the files into the Illarion Folder. Make sure that especially the *.tbl files are there'

Perhaps it's with her machine`?
What kind of computer has she got?

Just to let you know, I have WIN XP and I can play, it must be a problem with the comupter, or installation, or something to do with her internet options, I have no idea as my brother has the technical know how on this kind of thing.

Ok well shes on cable not 33.3 modem lol and all the files are unzipped into one folder. machine shes runnin is a e machine, i think its somehting on her mahcine or internet properties. thanks for the help

Sounds exactly like my computer, and mine runs fine...

ok astral that was helpful lol anyways further info, when she trys to log in illarion it doesnt work as i said and it creates an error file caleld newmudd.err also the file newmudd.err reads:Graphic not found!: nothing
Graphic not found!: stufen


Now im htinkin her e machine monitor doesnt support the req graphic /colors settings or res. I dunno..

It would be, of course nice to have opinion of the people who have designed the game-system *cough cough*

sounds like they are not running the game from within the illarion folder.

Sounds like they copied teh .exe to the desktop and are runnign that instead.

Have them go into the illarion folder and then run illarion.exe

And if nothing else works have them rapidly shake the monitor whilst shouting sladerous insults about how the computer doesnt work . . . sure it's not the monitors fault and nor will it fix it, but it sure will relieve some stress.

if she has a firewall, that might be stoping it from accesing the internet.
Try tuning the fw off for a bit and try it.

If your computer doesn't work, you should use pokemon stickers to torture it. My old computer was full of them, it really works! No kiddin!

Halllo

dont use windows XP

btw win xp has an built-in firewall

you can use the compatibility mode for illarion (win 9x will work fine)
if u have a shortcut u can select this mode via the shortcut properties (you can create a shortcut within your illarion directory)

Bye
Read ya

I have the built-in firewall turned on, and I don't have to run it in compatibility mode, so I doubt it's that.

But perhaps she should try Captain-sir's suggestion, for It is the only one we've had.

This is a normal error message and should appear to every Illarion player.

ok i just want to say that i am also useing xp and it works perfectly unless the server is down or something and the only problem i have had at all while useng xp is that the people my char meets and the names he ends up knowing arnt there next time but it was easy to fix that......but yeah i a more then certain it works perfectly with xp cause it does with me and i am sure many other people use xp aswell.
