Game: Outriders (started)

Not fixed me. 0 for five tries. Hangs instantly, won't retrieve turn file.

Okay, this is a really weird workaround, but try this.

1. Double click on your icon to connect, assuming you have the IP address and port loaded into the command line.

2. Click quickly, but not super fast, on the screen area.

For some reason, this allows me to get past the point where it stalls out and freezes at the "loading game" info screen.

Really, really, weird. I have no connection icon, I am using the in-game interface where one field prompts for the IP, confirms, then opens a second field asking for port number, and confirms. On my third try, after reading your advice, I clicked 'OK' once, not twice, clicked on the screen, and got through! WTF???

[Jazzepi]

I have no idea why this works. I just have a psychotic need to constantly click when I have a mouse in my hand, and I discovered it on accident.

not sure what the deal is with this one. It happens to me occasionally too, and not on other games, but usually after 1 bad try I get in. I can't really tell what the problem is: dom3 is the essence of a black box.

I AI'd Jomon cuz they were about to have a second stale turn.

Jazzepi notified me on the strange server behaviour.

I have a vague recollection of a similar event, but I can't remember what was causing it or if it was solved.

Have you tried restarting the server?

Gandalf might know something. He tends to remember (and generate) strange behaviours.
