If its worked for u before, id suggest goin back to the default setup.

Ya could do that by deleting the entire game folder and reinstalling, or to save you redownloading everything, try deleting the file Clients\Data\Main.opt.
If that doesnt do any good, try deleting Clients\tractor.cfx too (you'll have to re-enter your username and password).

If it still dont work, and deleting the entire game folder and re-installing doesnt help either.. then it can only really be something else in your system thats changed, and perhaps a re-install of directX or your vid-card drivers might help. (Tho i think the first bits should sort you out).

I'm having the same problem as Scrag, so i deleted main.opt and tractor.cfx and i got a new error.....

Connection refused
Galaxy connection refused - Either the galaxy already has a record of a connection from your computer, or there is a conflict with your login details.
To rectify this, shut down any other instances of the game you have running and try to connect again. If this problem persists, please post on the game support forums.


I do what i am told.

I also tried a clean uninstall and a new install of the Gal client and still get the message.

~Jinx

PS: this only happens when i try to quick connect to zoric via the Galaxy client.
