Failed To Connect?


Slovenka

Recommended Posts

I've played the game for over a month and tonight I've been getting the Failed to connect message. Could it be that the server is down or is it something with my computer. Also I have a friend who was never able to connect to the server at all. Any ideas how to fix this? Help would be muchly appreciated!

disable any firewalls and try it. if it still dont go, server might be down or the adress is wrong (unlikely unless the version is really old or youve changed it)

Still not working. It started last night when I tried to play with my brother. We have a home network and created an account on his computer. The server connected us both but then soon enough it stopped working and neither of us could connect back.

 

I've checked my firewall settings, Ufo is listed as an allowed exception so I don't think the problem lies there. It's happened to me once or twice before that I could not connect but that was just real short. Now it's not been working for the past 12 hours and I tried plenty times. :(

Hmmmm so many days... You are loosin peoples...

This can't be helped unfortunately. The hosting for ufo2000 server was provided for free and we can't demand anything. The source of the problem is being investigated now, I don't know any details but the current downtime was not planned. Maybe someone can start a backup server for the time being.

I have started again a server on 82.211.39.133:2000

Maybe someone could point ufo2000.xcomufo.com to 82.211.39.133 so people can connect to default server

Or if any developper wants to setup the server himself, I can give access.

 

good stuff!

 

nice to see a member of the community take some affirmative action to help out!

I have few available FreeBSD servers where can Ufo2000 stable run... Is somewhere any guide how install and configure ufo2k server? What all need for it?

Just do a make server in the sources and run ufo2000-srv. You need sqlite3 libraries. But the 82.211.39.133:2000 server mentioned on the home page is working, so there's no need to start another one. Also for the reason that everybody is immediately disconnecting this one, when there is no other player :( That's the simple way to make sure that one can meet no players :(

 

bye

I can't access that 82.211....

Am I the only one?

 

 

I've put a post regarding an irc channel we have set up on quakenet.org here

http://www.xcomufo.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry166214

 

I also have active server IP's posted there including one I've been trying to keep up for a while now.

Also since you can find other players there you can run your own servers easily if need be.

 

fair warning , we idle a lot in there to :D

Well, we are getting on our last legs server-wise.. This is our last one, it would help if we had some more backups, or at best, get out main server up.

Just thought that needed to be addressed, thanks.

 

that's kind of the purpose of the irc channel. Somewhere players can go that will (virtually) always be accessible and up. From there people can agree to play a game and run their own server or use one of the servers listed in the channel topic.

uh, 82.211.39.133:2000 works aswell

 

 

thanks for letting me know.

i've had it marked as offline in the irc channel as players were reporting it down.

 

Sorry Popek but i notify to you that your server 154.20.171.226:2000 was unavailable for the entire day! It's not good because these are backup server and the comunity is suffering a lot by this bad situation. OMFG So i think you must sign as offline for the moment but please let us know what's happened.

 

So ppl as usually my server is up and ready... have a good playing time! :D
