ok mchat it appears the zone identifiers are conflicting with regular windows xp sp2 io securities. i think some iocommands on zi have to set like ioexeceptions instead of just IOex. apparantly windows 32 securities have been blocking the execptions on OS

Thanks for the great tool! A couple of questions for you, though.

1) Is there any way to host a dedicated server on a computer connected directly to cable modem and play on that server using the same computer?

2) How do I set the program to load an pbsv.cfg file?

Thanks,

In reference to the above post, I should have mentioned, I can connect, but shortly thereafter I get kicked for pb heartbeats failure (PnkBstrB driver heartbeats).

Thanks again,

Ok, one more question MChat: I just found an earlier reply where you noted that a player cannot host the dedi and run a client on the same machine. Got it. What about running a dedi on one machine and running a client on another, but both within the same LAN, i.e. connected through a router but hosted on Ubi's servers?

I'm not sure. I do that with my server, but I'm not running PB. When it comes to the PB configuration stuff, I'm completely ignorant.

no you can't host and play on same rig....
PB will read the same Ip for server and client and the duplication will result in a PB kick. You need to be on a seperate rig from server and behind a router. Next time you are on our coms hit me up... I'll help ya

Hey, how do you use this program,

I mean, i downloaded it from the site and changed the dir for the launcher, but now when i start your tool i get a error that it couldn't initialise (don't know it english) (i'm dutch) with the code 0c0000135 press ok to end.

Hope you can help me out m8

Make sure you have the latest Microsoft .Net Framework (3.5 SP1), and the latest FarCry2 Server Launcher (RC2).

Hi, I really need help.

I bought Far Cry 2 off Steam, I got the Fortunes Pack, Benchmark tool, Map Editor and Dedicated server. When I go to my Server Launcher.exe and start it, it starts but theres only a console. It starts saying stuff in the console and then at the bottom it says "Entering Game Lobby!" and then it stays blank. I tried unblocking ports 9000-9003, 3074, 3074-3075 on my "Router Setup Page" , but for some reason they didn't unblock. I tried like six times. I think it might be because of Steam, I saw pictures of how "Server Launcher.exe" is meant to look but mine isn't like that. -JUST A CONSOLE- Please help me.

Can i make a small suggestion (addition) to the program ?

Make the gameserver "say" a custom message every "n" seconds/minutes in the lobby.

For example when people join the server i want to tell them that they can download the maps from "this" site, so they dont have to wait for the downloads, instead of telling them inside the game after it launches.

Now i am doing it by hand but it would be helpfull if the server does it by itself

Thanks

ATTENTION!!!! Maybe I am the only one here who found it hard to save the server settings and reload them!!

The simple solution to this is

DO NOT SAVE THE XML FILE IN THE SAME FOLDER AS THE MCHAT SERVER LAUNCHER

After creating a server save the config in your
My Documents\Games\Farcry 2\Server\

Just save the XML file in this folder and it will load everytime with no problems.

You only get the error message if you save the FC_2_Settings.XML file in the same folder

You must have the CFG file with the server config XML file in the Server Folder in your My Documents\Games\FarCry 2\Server

This has been kicking my but all day. I can create, launch, join, play and save,but can't seem to load a saved cfg no matter what I have tried on 2 separate machines. One Vista 64, the other Win server 2008.

I have ver 2.0.0.6, 1.03 r2, .Net 3.5.

The error message I get:
---------------------------
Error
---------------------------
An error occured while loading server settings from file 'C:\Users\John\Documents\My Games\Far Cry 2\Server\test.'

Can you send the file which gets generated when you save? Go to the Help->About screen and click on "Report Bug."

I'll get right on it!

Thanks
