PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Hello,long time fan of renegadeX,but I am encountering a problem with connecting to any multiplayer server,I have also updated with the launcher so I am at version 4009 the newest one,but when I use either the launcher,or the in game launcher,it does absoulutely nothing,I had no problems at all getting on servers with Beta3.So that's it in a nutshell,and BTW the single player scirmish works just fine,and thanks for all your hard work you have done on this it is really turning into something great,heres my log.Thanks Launch.log Edited May 11, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Can you hit the launch game button on the launcher to load the game main menu & hit multiplayer. Do you see the server list? If not would point towards a firewall issue. Other than that will have to wait for someone who is more familiar with the log output as to me i cant really see anythinig that screams "THIS IS WRONG".

PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 HI Goku,yes I can see all the servers,but there is no ping ,and thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hm not sure. The log isent really telling unfortunatly. Did you maybe install B4 in the B3 folder ? If yes pls try installing it into a new, clean, folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hey RypeL no I made sure to delete all the old folders before installing Beta4,can you guys give me some idea about how to fix this at all?this has never happen to me before.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB0NG Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It takes a long time to join a server running the new Balance mutator for the first time. How long did you let it sit after you clicked connect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Oh about 3 minutes,or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 After you click connect is there a timer bar,or loading screen?because I am not seeing it do anything except stay on the menu screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well if you try joining the EKT server id leave it for 2-5mins n see if it connects. Or is it giving you a timeout error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 ok,I will try that,and I'll get back with you on it later.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nope, that didn't work,I waited over 5min with both the ingame launcher,and the launcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Do you need to have a static IP address,do I need to port foward the router,could that be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 62.210.91.79:7777 Thats the IP/port for EKT Hope you get this sorted dude. (Could also try turning off your firewall to test?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB0NG Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Are you able to connect to any servers or just not matrix and ekt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi Goku,thanks for caring,I think I know what the culprit could be,but I won't be able to test until tonight I think my dynamic IP adress needs to be reset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleDeath2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 OK I have reset my modem,and firewall,and nothing,you know I am going to try another reinstall,and am going to download from another link,maybe,just maybe it's the download from that link?

PaleDeath2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 OK,I am downloading now one question,do I need to run the launcher first to update the game before I run the renegadeX.exe?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Alright some great news it's working now after the third install,but now I face a new problem,everytime I connect to a server I get a connection lost error.

Goku Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 [0059.39] Init: WinSock: Socket queue 32768 / 32768[0259.40] NetComeGo: Close TcpNetDriver_0 TcpipConnection_0 62.210.91.79:7777 05/12/15 18:22:26 [0259.44] Log: Pending connect to '62.210.91.79/RenX-FrontEndMap?Name=DethRider-66?Team=255' failed; Your connection to the host has been lost. Looks like its a connection issue your end. You could see if you can ping the server as the one you are trying to connect to is mine lol - could try winmtr to see if there is packet loss anywhere. http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr/ (put in the server ip or dns gameserver.elitekamikazeteam.com) Also can you join other servers? Maybe try one of the ones that just says Renegade X servers as they will be unlikely to be running the new mods to fix cheating etc etc (might be that ) Failing that i cant see anything that shouts out to me on the log, Hopefully RypeL will spot this again and give some words of wisdom! All the best! Goks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Well i dont have a degree on connection problems ^^ Pls ask me something about the game logic instead ;-) Well the UDK log output (as often) is pretty quiet about the reasons of problems so i couldnt find something usefull in the log either besides the part Goku already pointed out: "[0259.44] Log: Pending connect to '62.210.91.79/RenX-FrontEndMap?Name=DethRider-66?Team=255' failed; Your connection to the host has been lost." Googling the error message (Your connection to the host has been lost) a bit it seems to happen in other UDK games aswell to some players and it might have something todo with ports beeing blocked for you but didnt find definitive awnsers to it yet. I would continue googling it till you find an awnser to it for other UDK/UE3 games like Chivalry,Red Orchestra etc. The chance that somewhere a solution has been posted in the forums of some of these games i think should be high.

PaleDeath2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hello,no luck,shut down my antivirus,and firewall,and am still getting connection lost,I am not trying to critisize anyone here,so please don't take this as offensive,but I never had any problems in the past with any of your earlier betas,and the only thng I could find about connection lost with the UDK 3 engine,is on your end something to do with cooked packs,or something like that,I could try to unblock my ports,I don't really know how to do this,but I'll manage to give it a go,also I am good at figureing out problems on computers,but not when it comes to networking,and ports that kind of stuff.So on the main menu if I select the IP option where do I find the info to put in the boxes?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RypeL Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 "the only thng I could find about connection lost with the UDK 3 engine,is on your end something to do with cooked packs,or something like that" Im not sure what you mean by that. I guess you could mean: a) The only serach result you got was related to RenX. In that case you were doring it wrong. I maybe shouldnt have mentioned UDK as most games on this engine dont use UDK and use the full UE3 engine instead (wich we cant as the full UE3 isent full). But still people wont really write "I have problem X on UDK/UE3 Game Y". They will not mention the engine name. They will only name the problem and the name of the game. So when i just searched for "Your connection to the host has been lost" multiple results came up from multiple UDK/UE3 titles. Even if i search for "Your connection to the host has been lost UDK" i get most of those results or b) You found those other results and went through them and then found something about it maybe beeing linked to cooked packages. But you DID NOT post a link so you found something but then dont link us to it which is not really helpfull. "So on the main menu if I select the IP option where do I find the info to put in the boxes?" When you open the launcher and click a server its IP is displayed in the right hand server info screen. Input that into the IP option. Theres also an "join IP" option in the top right of the launcher. Anyway, just another guess if you have Steam running: Are you running Steam in offline mode ? If yes pls try in online mode. Else pls shut down Steam completely before starting the game and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleDeath2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 OK,I appologize for not adding a link for the UDK\UE3 problem,I will a little later on today,is there anything else I could try maybe it's my router,I don't know,I give up.I throw my hands in the air.Thanks for the help so far.

RoundShades Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 About checking ports. It is different for every router, look up yours on Google. 1) But you either type in 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 in your URL where you type websites at. 2) You will get your router mainpage, starting with user/pass request. Enter "admin" and "password" or look up your router's defaults. 3) You go to router "security" or "firewall" or the such. Look for "port forwarding" or "port triggering". 4) Look up on google what "Unreal 3" uses as ports. Enter the port, such as 43udp or 5454tcp, and your device's IP in your network such as 192.168.1.15 (your router should have a list of connected devices, look for YouName_PC) 5) Save settings or apply settings to your router. Try the server connect again Best of luck, let us know if we can continue trying to help, or join one of the EkT/Tmx Teamspeaks, or IRC at "irc.TheMatrixRen.NET" for faster answers anytime of the day.

HaTe Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Are you able to connect to the server at all? Perhaps you can supply us with your username and a tmx or ekt mod can view some irc logs to see if you connected and then lost it or if it just didn't let you connect at all.
