netplay issue
Hi All
Second post for a question about netplay.
After watching the videos, reading some tutorials I tried to go through the netplay interface to have a look.
Unfortunately I did not get much far !
after having filled the form the system tried to connect to the database and then things went wrong.
I provide you the screenshots (sorry interface is in French, if you need a translation let me know).
The summarize the netplay seems to be looking for a email exchange programme (if i understand correctly) which I do not have on my computer as we are only using gmail.
Some time after the netplay issue I have the MWIF exe error message appearing (without having done anything in between) and the inability to send the report message.
let you find out if I'm doing something wrong (I doubt as I'm barely doing anything) or if there is a know/unknown issue.
Cheers (don't worry maturity is normal for any project of this size)
Systems tell me I can only upload 1 image per post, will provide further screenshots after

RE: netplay issue
My understanding is that Emailing bug reports requires an actual email client. So if you use GMail or another web based service, a client is needed as well. During testing I have used Mozilla Thunderbird with Gmail which seems to work pretty well.

RE: netplay issue
thanks for the information.
lets see if someone knows something about the netplay issue (unable to connect to opponent database)
does it means a mail client is mandatory to play MWIF over netplay ???

RE: netplay issue
Hi again
some additional informations
I finally installed mozilla thunderbird to check if this solve part of the issue.
Indeed I could at last send the bug reports (you should have received a couple from me sorry)
the issue with the database connection is still there and this cause the MWIF crash window to open. If I select keep MWIF open i can keep on doing what I was doing (looking at the empty netplay window haha although I see some other players logged in).

RE: netplay issue
Seems like the client cannot connect to the lobby server. Router? Firewall? UDP ports blocked?

RE: netplay issue
thanks for the help
I have no router, the default windows firewall and no clue about UDP port status ?
I read somewhere that for netplay there is no need to configure the firewall (don't ask me why) ?
anyone knows precisely which port should be opened and how to check ?

None of this should be necessary. If you have a software (non-windows) firewall, try disabling it.
You are aware Netplay is disabled currently?

RE: netplay issue
Just checked and I get the same error. If netplay is disabled it would be nice to mention it in the error message. The error reads as if there is a subjective connection problem.

RE: netplay issue
Still no joy Steve - exact same issue after downloading 1.0.3 I did reboot after I downloaded the update
RE: netplay issue
same problem
I had an issue while installing the 1.0.3 patch (some background wif programme running and the installer told me he could not update one of the file) after the end of the update my game was still in 1.0.2 but update keep telling me i had the last version. I then uninstalled WIF and installed again (after killing all running process associated).
i have now a brand new installation and version 1.0.3 and still the netplay issue. A pity for such a game....
further help would be appreciated

RE: netplay issue
The 1.0.2 update broke NetPlay. A new patch to solve the problem is being worked on.
Edit: Version 1.0.3 now is available.

RE: netplay issue
You get to 1.0.3 using the updater.

RE: netplay issue
guys I appreciate your support but please read the thread before answering anything.
so as I said I'm upgraded in 1.0.3 and still unable to connect to opponent database.
does anyone else suffer the same issue ?
or has anyone else suffered the same issue and for whom it's now working with 1.0.3 ?
thanks in advance
