Er...no Decahwn...Alfred is not the only person who cannot see you in space. I'm sure this is a bug of some sort because it never happened in the past.

Btw...caps lock.

I can't see you either in space deca...
And I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my connection.

yeah i get all sorts of invisble people in space. when i switched wireless routers thats when i could see certain people like deca. perhaps its an IP adress conflict or perhaps its something to do with the wireless router.

Found (and fixed) a couple of nasty bugs in the peer-to-peer connection stuff - this should hopefully make things a lot better now (0.51.8 )
There is still one bit of the connection process that can be affected by packetloss.. but it should be pretty rare. (and will be fixed properly for 0.51.9)

Note that all connected players will need to be on 0.51.8 - anyone with the old client still might not show up. Note also that there are always going to be some occasions (particular configurations of firewall or LAN setup), which just won't allow the peer-to-peer connections needed to view ppl in space - but again, these should be quite rare.

Yep, me too.

That's probably because 0.51.9 isn't out yet and i think it's not totally fixed during that update too. The avatar's can't be displayed for me and i get error's because of this when trying.

How are you verifying they're in the same system as you? Is it people on your chat channel(s)?
Are any of the people you can't see connected locally to you (i.e. on the same LAN ) ?

Sometimes I see somebody talking to another person wich I can't see at all, I can't see their ships and what they write and so that person talking appears to be talking alone and sometimes I just ask: Who the hell are you talking to?

Then they say a name, wich I can't see on the player list.

Also, relogging most of the time makes them appears but on a few rare occasions, even that doesn't help (Deca comes to mind).

Confirmed presence of invisible people by asking someone else who was in system at the time(morbydvisns).Most recent people that are invisible to me are Kirons12 and xxxRalmsxx.Re-logging does not seem to help at all.

Today i sew this bug in all its beauty. Two computers in the same LAN could not see each other though the distance between them was less than 2 meters.
I am shocked. This mistake make faction interaction absolutely impossible!

Mit, i ask you very much to correct a bug quicker...

Oops... Duplicated replay. And i can't delete one of this two...

I can give a more exact information about configuratiom of 2 computers, which can't see each other in space:

Alex Lapsar:
Pentium 4 2.6 GHz, 512 RAM, Radeon 9200 SE, net rtl8139, WinXP-E licensed,
firewall Kerio with rule: "source 192.168.10.165, destination internet,
service any, action permit, NAT for outgoing interface".
Firewall showed, that application Theuniversal.ex use UDP port 2558

Max Brown:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 2Gb RAM, Radeon 9250, emulated Windows 2000, USB highspeed CDMA modem AnyData, firewall AtGuard switched off.
When firewall was switched on, it showed, that application Theuniversal.ex use UDP port 1124

In both cases, TheUniversal client 0.51.9

Maybe, the problem is that the ports haven't match?

And two another computers, which haven't see each other, was 2 office computers, something like Pentium-4 2 GHz, connected to Internet via corporate network with configuration, which i don't know.
