Mmm'kay.  I've just got a few things to do around the house, and then I'll be able to host (or join, if anyone else wants to host).  I'm expecting probably between 9:00 and 9:30pm eastern will be when I'm ready.
EDIT @ 10pm:  Ok, is anyone going to be playing tonight?  I'll check in here and there and start up a game if anyone wants.

[Mars]

Go ahead, I'll join as soon as you post (practically)

[CP5670]

Are you guys still playing? I couldn't see anything on the tracker. Also, are you using the latest version?

[Mars]

I'm still waiting 

You want to try hosting CP, I  don't have a good track record for being able to

[CP5670]

Okay, but my games tend to act flaky when more than one person joins. We'll see how it goes.

[edit] great...the new build is crashing when I start up a game. I bet it has something to do with the pilot files again. I'll make a new one.

[Mars]

Post if you ever get it up

[CP5670]

Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to get this working tonight. It's exactly the same problem that I was getting a few months ago and that basically took a game reinstall to fix, which I don't really have time for right now.

*Shrugs*

Tomarrow night good for everyone?

[watsisname]

Agh, I'm very sorry guys.  I again had to take care of family affairs (please don't ask, it's a personal matter) and couldn't get back online to let you all know.
Tomorrow (later today, rather), I'm going to be very busy with said family affairs, but I'll try my best to be able to play later in the night.  I'll make a post if I can find the time to play/host.

Know how it goes, family owns all, and stuff happens. Something tells me we would have had some issues anyway. Good luck with 'said family affair'

Which version?

[CP5670]

It is 1.6.125 I think, need to make sure of it though.

Sorry to hear it watisname, hope you get it resolved soon. I'm going to be tied up myself for the next few days, so maybe we should try for Friday night or some time during the weekend.

[watsisname]

Well, since it went very well, I'll go ahead and share that my family just had an intervention for my brother, who is going to go to a specialized rehabilitation center for alcohol and drug abuse.  My family has been having a huge amount of stress from this for the past few years, but it appears that it's finally getting resolved.

Anyway, I'm rather exhausted, both physically and mentally, from these events... so I'd much rather play again on the weekend if you all are okay with that.  I'm very hopeful that there wont be any issues then.

Again, I apologize for leaving you all waiting last night.  I might not know any of you personally, but I still hate to inconvenience anyone like that.

The biggest inconvinience was having to push control - R every couple of minutes i.e. nothing. Congrats about your brother

In case you have been playing via tracker: I have found and fixed another bug in UDP/IP comm that only occurs if playing via tracker and only affects clients. I will also try to make a long time test with offering a game as host and see whether d2x-xl will crash during that test.

[watsisname]

Good to hear that another bug is fixed, and if you want any of us to join your test then let us know.
I'm not sure if this is helpful info or not, but I've found that I'm usually able to host continuously until my laptop overheats, which is typically a couple of hours.  Ulala has been able to host games for over 4 hours straight without too much trouble as well (at least in the past).

As for our next game, I'm pretty sure that tonight will work (shouldn't be any issues this time), so if anyone wants to play just say what time you're free.  Sometime after 9pm EST should be fine with me.

[CP5670]

Tonight should be fine for me, assuming I can get this crash issue worked out. I'll just reinstall the game again later today.

[watsisname]

Kewl, I'll start it up in about an hour.  Shall we use the newest version? (1.6.129)

[Mars]

Yep

[Music1an]

Kewl, I'll start it up in about an hour.

so, about 10pm EST?
