Complete newbie, in a world of confusion
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 11:03 pm
So, I bit the bullet and subscribed, and now I am supposed to be able to make a world?
I can run "world.exe" and get "universe connection active". Clicking on gateways gives a list but the refresh status does nothing.
I try the members area of the game to connect to my "world", and get "could not connect to this world, the server did not respond to join messages.
Tried many variations in server config, for example, tried both my screen name for civilization and for the forums, neither worked.
Tried my static ip, my router ip, my external ip, nothing works. Tried port forwarding for my PC ip address, still nothing works.
Using BT homehub 3 and less than half my brain, someone please help me get this thing up and running before I pull the rest of my hair out.
