can't connect to zoric 6

[andrewcool]

For some reason for like two days i can't connect to zoric 6 .

[bobalobmitchell]

I was on about 15 mins ago (11.25am) but i lost connection, my chars left outside and now that i cant get back on, i`ll probably die

It seems to have gotten bad after this new 1.30

cannot connect to zoric as well.. sometimes it's up for 1-2 minutes, but almost unplayable as it disconnects very soon again

i got the island back from hedgehog last thursday. it seems that since then it's been unaccessible by the regular tractor client. just shows as -- on it, not even checking. it works perfectly fine on the galaxy client though, weather via quick play or flying to it in the galaxy

last night though it might have been inaccessible because for some reason windows 2k went into locked mode. no clue if that affected the island though, since programs still get to run.

nm. back down again.
seems a hard drive just went bad

[andrewcool]

Still can't connect .

[zaroba]

any perticular errors at all?

If your client is crashing halfway threw the map download. then goto the instilation folder and in the maps folder, delete zoric.map and zoric.imp

[andrewcool]

when i go on the atractor client, it shows that zoric is still offline .

try deleting Data\atractorservers.lst from your Clients folder. Zoric was moved to a temporary server a while ago, and its possible your client is still looking for it at its old address. (It should automatically get an address update from the chat server - but its possible you aint got a connection the chat server either..) Deleting that file will reset the addresses to default.
Other option is to connect to Zoric using the galaxy, which uses different addressing techniques when you land on planets.

might have to use the galaxy and Quick Play to join zoric now. seems alot can't connect to zoric with the reg client since i got it back from hedge a week ago.
on my client, it always shows a -, not neven a checking..
have deleted serverlist, gateway list, other list files several times. have gone into the gateway/server list via f1-file menu, and refresh/get list update several times, and done it on zoric. but it doesen't seem to fix it.

Hmmm, i regularly connect to it with the a-tractor 1.29 client. I have and can also use galaxy, but out of habit tend to use the a-tractor client since I only (until tonight) had gal 1.27 and got annoyed with going back to the "old" controls like del to confirm. I haven't had any unusual problems since it moved back to zars. Just FYI, using gal still seems like a reasonable solution to me

[andrewcool]

i did what mit did and it worked .

[DDS]

uh i cant get in it now..

[andrewcool]

for some reason i can't get in now, is zoric offline?

[scrag]

well it went dwn for me on both galaxy and trac about 3 hours ago anit been showing up on lists a ready to connect for past 3 hours

[scrag]

zar if u on zoric and i anit dead freeze me plz

[zaroba]

its been up nearly all day, no clue why it wont let anybody conenct.
only thing that happened is that the power flickered in the morning causeing the comp ot reboot.

-edit-
it should work fine now
seems that when the power went out for those 2 secs, isp was able to sneak in an IP change. just updated it on the islands so they should be connectable now.

[Marshall]

Still no connection....

[Draco]

ilast time i connected it was about 5am this morning, then when i came on at around 2pm, i wasn't able to connect, and haven't since, and its 7pm here, so thats pretty bad!

[zaroba]

let the ip update on your client.
if your useing the regular client, hit F1 at the server list screen
same for the galaxy quick play list
