[Rbstr]

[Corrosion]

I can't get a list of servers.

[Fragmatic]

I can't get a list of servers.

:'( me neither :(

[I Hate Pants]

Thank god im not the only one.

[Corrosion]

Apperantly (from the official boards), you have to wait 10-15 mins for the server list.

[I Hate Pants]

Is that for everyone because there is a problem? Or do you have to wait that long for the server list to refresh when you log on?

[Squeeky]

I thought i was the only one who couldnt get a server list.

10-15 minutes? *mutters*

[EarlyDawn]

Reboots my PC every time.

[Squeeky]

This shit is bullshit, 15 minutes i waited for the servers to load and nothing happens. Fucking gay.

[martyr]

ah, this is awesome! i connected to a server in PA and played for about three hours.

forget planetside, i can deal with only 32

[I Hate Pants]

how did you get it to work for you?

[Baneblade]

Very Carefully...

[Corrosion]

This shit is bullshit, 15 minutes i waited for the servers to load and nothing happens. Fucking gay.
I waited 25 and no list.

[Corrosion]

After 30 mins of waiting for the list I get Error code 502

[I Hate Pants]

appparently the master servers are down

[JetRaiden]

OMFG THERE GOES MY WEEEKEND. man is my gf gonna be pissed. :D

I heard Soldner will intially have only 32, then itll be 128 in an early patch or something.

[Indecisive]

Holy fuck. If martyr is abandoning planetside for this it must be god like.

[321]

forget planetside

:banplz:

Oh and does it have vehicles? :lol:

[Corrosion]

yes

[Indecisive]

Too bad they are having Ubisoft-esq problems with their servers.

[JetRaiden]

WTS I CANT EVEN PLAY IT YET!!! :mad:

wait I cant even connect at the main multiplayer login. wtf someone help me!!!

[I Hate Pants]

Alot of people are having problems connecting.

[Indecisive]

Like. A lot. As in. Like. Everyone.

[Everay]

i cant even get it to start, so it gets to be deleted.

[Sputty]

..Anyone know how to customize dedicated LANs? I have no idea how to. If anyone could help, it would be very much appreciated.

[Neon Apocalypse]

fuck this game i couldnt connect

[FraudulentBob]

uhm, i got connected once, as my name.. then clicked refresh list, and it bumped me back to the log-in, where I sit now..

[lightfire]

yo guys there is a slight problem TO MANY and i mean WAY to many people are downloading the demo and login on to the servers its like what happened to the STAR WAR'S galaxy servers that got owned by 60.00000 people signing up at the same time same with the SOldner demo so just try this game tomorro or realy late tonnight it will be all better hopefuly

[Rayder]

It's that, and the fact that it has the worst interface ever.

[FraudulentBob]

fuck everyone else, i want to play, now.

[JetRaiden]

:rolleyes: Im really pissed Ive been looking forward to this game for a while. :mad:

[Mr1337Duck]

I go on and it says "Soldner" then it crashes to desktop.

[martyr]

actually, i lied.

[BUGGER]

Its beta.


N u all are lucky asses.....with your.......highspeed internet.......bah, real men (not nerds) use 56k dialup!

[jedi]

I managed to log in and start refreshing servers... but when I connected to one it would sit there with
*...
*...
*...
*...
*...
*...
*...
then it would timeout

[Rayder]

Try again in two hours... maybe the servers won't be as taxed (btw... WHO THE FUCK DECIDED THE GAME NEEDED SO MANY CRAPPY TREES!?).

[FlakMan]

Post your Soldner

[Squeeky]

Post your Soldner

http://www.planetsideimages.com/uploads/soldner.gif


:rofl:

[Sputty]

fuck everyone else, i want to play, now.
Yeah! That'll work!

[Vitter]

I got into the game, got the server lists to come up, and then tried entering the game.

It does this "..." thing for a while, then i connect to the server. Then it starts saying

Challenging Server (1)
Challenging Server (2)

I went and had sex, came back, and it was on 363 with no freaking hope of ending. I'll try again later tonight.

[I Hate Pants]

This is my guy! I wanted him to look like he's from a militia. Trying to avoid the whole army look. I hope in the full version you can give them shorts.

[FraudulentBob]

Got in a server, eating my words.. its awesome, now if we could have better graphics and MORE servers.

[Octavian]

EDIT: wtf? Only 32 palyers?????? What happened to 128???

You do realise it is a beta? They aren't going to include all the features, in the full game it would be cruel not to include 128.

[FlakMan]

Man I can't even make an account

Beta Demo 4-6-04 Information
Allow me to introduce myself, I am the producer of Soldner at Encore in The united States.

I've noticed that many people on the forums want to hear something from the people who are working on the game and although this is not "official", I feel it is my duty to try to explain some of the events that occurred today.

First, I want to say thank you to all of you who have expressed an enormous amount of interest in the game. I truly believe that Soldner is the best multiplayer gaming experience in the world.

As you all know, the demo was released by me today around 10 AM.

The exe was picked up by many websites off our server to give to everyone.

When the sites downloaded the file, an extra 540 bytes or so of data were written by the script to the end of the file. Normally this does not cause a problem, but in this case, the demo actually checks itself in regards to the file size and if it is not exact, it won't run.

This was fixed within 30 minutes and the exe went out to all of the sites and was reposted.

If you were few of the lucky ones who were able to get the file between 10 and Noon, you logged into the servers and played. I know a lot of people were able to play because I was playing along with them.

By 1 PM the traffic had become so heavy on the JoWooD home page, the soldner page and the forums that it began to bog down the portal the game relies on to disperse information to all users.

Add to that, the huge response from you users, creating new accounts, new servers, etc. the portal was unable to keep up with the number of requests and was not giving out the information people needed to play:

1) The server lists were not displaying because the portal could not give out the information in a timely manner
2) Servers were disconnecting from the portals because they were not receiveing feedback from the portal.
3) Users were unable to log into servers because the portal was not updating their information quick enough to allow entry into the games.

This caused:
Waiting for authorization and Pre Connect waiting messages.

Many people, SCI (our official server partner) and including myself, were attempting to get servers up and running, but were unable to connect to the portal.

As of this minitue - I am remotely connecting to our server, still trying to get it up and running.

I apologize for this, I want to play the game with you all too!

All I can ask is to be patient to allow the developers to fix the portal for you and get this up and running as soon as possible.

[Neon Apocalypse]

damn crackas

[l3lizz4rd]

Portal problems? Nilla please.

I wanna play.

[Squeeky]

Nilla plz!

[Glaynor]

I can't get into the damn servers. Every time it justs says - challenging (1), etc. Anybody get in yet?

[FlakMan]

Read Gohan's post, doesn't look like any of us will be playing for a while

[Indecisive]

Database is under maintenance, we will be back in few minutes!

Hopefully they are fixing it.

[Rbstr]

I got in to a german server but i laged so fucking bad i quit but when i tried for a different server i CTDed

[Glaynor]

I'm still having problems getting on. I do everything that it says to. I load up the game, enter the stuff in the browser and go back into the game. The intro screen never changes.

Am I supposed to log in my character before or after I enter those commands in the browser? You guys got me stoked to play this game and now its not working :(

[Derfud]

I palyed for a while, great fun, and no lag best of all :D

EDIT:

ALSO, http://www.koreus.com/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=21

[Jennyboo]

Lots of bugs but i guess thats what you get with beta ... looks decent grapic wise .. hehe :lol: although when i was watch Hamma try it out he ran his jeep into a buliding and the buliding exploded :rofl: i think that a bit over done .. :D :rofl::rofl:

[Rbstr]

Well I've giving up on that POS demo, Spend an hour trying to get in a server crahs upteen times, and then finaly get in one and it so laggy can't even tell whats going on? Its worse than any planetside build i've ever been in.

Hopefully they will fix it soon

[JetRaiden]

someone PM me on how to get on the servers.

[Derfud]

Err, see my post...

[JetRaiden]

sorry I was too lazy to scroll up or look at a different page. had a long day at LAX practice.

[ViperGTS]

There are to many damn wepons in this game.... :lol:

[Rbstr]

the portal is up you don't have to use that, unlees you can acctualy connect with that thing

[scarpas]

32 players?

with maps that big this is going to be a big game of hide and seek with guns

as was johari awile ago

[I Hate Pants]

I still can't connect

I get this synch: authorization[10] and then the 2 bars below stop moving and nothing happens. DUBLU TEE EFF?

[JetRaiden]

I got in. awesomeness. I can only connect 1/4 times, but its really fun. in 3rd person view it looks like a uber version of SOCOM 2: US Navy SEALS.

[Sputty]

Connecting is hard.

BTW, I thought there was supposed to be an M1A2 in Soldner?

[I Hate Pants]

So what yourt telling me is that I have to find the right servers to connect to?

[JetRaiden]

yea just keep finding servers and youll get in one eventually.

[Rbstr]

yeah it takes a while.... but whenever i connect i get lag so bad i can't play

[Rayder]

Connecting is hard.

BTW, I thought there was supposed to be an M1A2 in Soldner?
They aren't showing everything... I think.

[Heavygain]

www.filefront.com is a real good site, its basicly fileplanet with a smaller mass so it means faster unsubsribed downloads.

[Indecisive]

Just for good measure.

*stabs soldner's dev's for overlooking crap like this*

[NoSurrender]

the nforce 3250 01 server works and only locks up ocassionaly. This game can be good but, i wouldnt release for atleast a couple of months mebe even a year.

[Hamma]

Someone make a thread when its actually possible to join a server.

[Khronos]

i was just playing, downloaded my file overnight and it works great :doh:

i dont really know waht to do but i killed about 5 people so that made me happy.

http://www.gamershell.com/download_5513.shtml

[Cyanide]

This is by far the worst demo I've ever seen in my life. This is not the kind of thing you release to the public. I don't care if it is beta. I've been reading the official forums and it seems like the only posts on there are from people who are getting socket errors when they try to connect to the master server or are having to wait 20 minutes to get a server list. It would appear that they only expected about 10 people to download this demo, and they got several thousand. I also heard it said that the closed beta test was very small, like Tribes2's beta, and we all know what a piece of shit tribes2 was when it came out.

It's too bad. This could be an awsome game. Too bad it's being produced by a bunch of idiots.

[arctik]

It should be good in final product but that may take a while to produce, someone said maybe another YEAR to correct everything and make it atleast equal its potential. But even if this game doesn't do it the idea is awsome and I think it will push gaming to a new level. Who ever came up with this gets props from me.
