Drakan dedicated multiplayer server running
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2013 10:35 pm
I have started a multiplayer hamachi network and verified it does work and players can connect however the other player disconnected frequently.
Here are the details, note they are case sensitive:-
ID arokhslair.net
password drakan
IP address 25.169.28.164
(Ditched for now, see bottom paragraphs in italic of this topic)
I will be running the dedicated server whenever my PC is switched on. I'm in GMT timezone and usually have the PC on in the evenings and weekends.
NOTE: The server will be patched with the 10th Anniversary mod as this is the only way I can get it to work. You will have to install this on your game to be able to play on my server - if not you will get an error stating your files do not match those of the server.
It supports up to 4 players and is running on a fibre connection with 40Mb connection speed. I was playing with one player and they got frequent disconnects; it would be great to verify if this server works reliably so if you have any problems just reply to this post. Also if it works fine let me know too.
Thanks
EDIT: After some more testing today (28th April) players are being disconnected within seconds so I think its Hamachi. The other players confirm the server 'the last weyr of Drakan' works fine and that's not using Hamachi or the 10th anniversary patch. If you want to connect the normal way to my server add the following IP to your game browser:-
212.169.37.181
Hopefully this will stop players being disconnected, if not then it may be the 10th anniversary mod that's causing it. Not a firewall issue as I disabled both hardware and software with no luck. Will continue to test as and when I get time and players are available. Also without Hamachi running the game is now registered on the master server so you can find it with the gamespy server browser.
