Multi Player problem
on: April 24, 2005, 04:12:13 pm
On FS multi whenever I click a game it says "You cannot join because the game is not in an appropriate state" (Or something like that).  When I tried doing a direct IP game, I couldn't see the other person's game, yet they could see any of mine that I created, but they got the "Not in an appropriate state" error.


We checked and double checked our  IPs, and we tried using corresponding builds but nothing worked.  We have all Media VPs installed except I don't have MV_cell.  I was trying to do multi with Karajorma so chances are that its nothing obvious.

Shouldn't have to for an IP game Cobra.

Cobra, that's spam.  Don't spam the SCP or any of its subforums, or FS Modding.

I'm a moderator? Cool. :p

Could someone willing to try the multi PM me and tell me to start a new game?

New to me, have you ever been able to play?

Sounds like at least one of you has a firewall in the way.

Can you play with Retail?

I am the last person to suggest "turning it off" but he may need to open some ports.

FS Multi (the same builds) has always worked before yesterday, and I haven't installed any other firewalls.  Can anyone else play?

This may have something to do with my disabling of ingame joining stuff except with the command line parameter, I had trouble with that section of code once before, the logic flow statements are somewhat confusing. ;)

Try to find the build when I disabled it (search for the command line parameter), and see if it started with that one. I'll try to take a look at all the multi code I changed later today, when I've got time, and see if there's any obvious problems.

I was at a lan party back in march and I had this same problem. Me and my mate were both using same builds. We tried a few different ones, but we had no luck. This was with firewalls disabled.

I tried turning my firewall off for a minute just to check but nope. That's not the problem.

I'll suggest trying retail (or finding a third person to try) next time I'm online at the same time as Kie.

We tried turning ingame joining on, then joining when it was playing, but it didn't work.
