Error connecting to world

Post by KlausT »

When starting the client i can see the "Your World" in the menu
I get the message "Error connecting to world - unable to launch".
I can't figure out what's wrong.

The server is running
I have forwarded a port in the router
I have edited the reroute.txt and the ServerConfig.txt
I can see the planet (Terminus) in space with a ping of 78ms and I can land on it

Any ideas?

In the world server options/general options, make sure the location of your client is correct.

The fact you can land on it from space indicates your basic setup is ok... prolly just the game not finding the right path with the "automatic" connection via Your World, i'd say.

I'd also guess the little world icon in the world server doesn't work for you either?

Ok, it's not a path problem then. But you could try installing the world in the same location as the client, if it isn't already there...

Maybe it's a path problem after all. I have installed everything in D:\TheUniversal, not the default path.
I will reinstall it soon and see if it only works with the default path.

I have deleted everything and reinstalled.
Still the same problem.
Is anyone using Vista? Maybe that's the problem.
