Trench wars won't show up as online.

[project dragon]

Hello,

Last Thursday, I turned on Continuum and a bunch of SSCU zones were offline (except for DSB). I thought the server was down or something, so I went to another zone, and saw that TW was still up and people were chatting. I go to the Zones menu, and deselect TW, then redownload the servers list, and it shows that TW is online and has ~300 people. But when I select it and press OK, the main window still shows TW as offline. Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about:



So far I've tried to reinstall continuum (it never seems to fully uninstall though) and opening the ports on my router but I can't seem to get TW to show up as online. This happened when I was home for reading week, and I am back at my university house, and the same problem occurs, so I am assuming it is something with my laptop, but I don't know where to start. I have not changed anything internet-wise on my laptop. The last thing I did was try to change my laptop visually to look like windows 7, but I've uninstalled that.

Please help.

Not that I know anything about this but could you share trace with us?
Might be something on the way to the server since you can download the info yet not the zone. Also this might get resolved in a few days just be sitting there so no panic

Here is a screenshot of TW's trace:



I don't seem to connect to any IP addresses. : \
Hopefully it could just go away in a few days.

Also, I have noticed that my web browsing in general has gotten slow. Some websites that I normally visit (Engadget, Facebook) have gotten incredibly slow, while others (like TW forums) have been loading at normal speeds. It is extremely aggravating.

Try using this directory

warpath.hlrse.net

[Kontrolz]

Or ssdir.playsubspace.com

it happens sometimes, wait it out porkjet

It's not about the directory since he can download it, not connect to the server though, might want to wait it out or contact your isp. Firewall ok aswell?

Happened to me, when I changed the Directory it fixed it.

Same, and it happened to many others too. All fixed by changing the directory.

[project dragon]

So would I just change it to that single directory? Or just add it on to the list?

[Kontrolz]

Add it.

[PureOwnage]

I'd say add the ssdir.playsubspace.com and make it first on the list though.

[project dragon]

ssdir.playsubspace.com does not seem to work, as it stays at 0% until it moves on to the next address (warpath.hlrse.net) and downloads the list of servers. Even then, the zone window will show TW is active with ~300 people in it, but once I am out of that window, TW continues to show up red.

As for my firewall, I have done nothing to alter it. The settings are the same as when I was able to play TW normally.

Try doing Add Custom: SSCU Trench Wars 66.36.241.110 5400



That's the only other thing I can think of. When I took all the directories and put in the warpath one it fixed my problem. :/

You chose the blue pill didn't you.
