Cant create games

Postby rockoe10 » 17 Sep 2013, 17:07

After the latest lobby patch, i have been unable to create games both online in FAF and offline using the /bin shortcuts.

When using FAF online, I 'double-click' to create a game. It allows me to select a map, a name, password and mods that I would like BUT when i start, it just sits a "Connecting" and never goes to the lobby.

If I try playing offline, I can start everything up BUT once I hit "Skirmish" the same things happens. I says "Connecting" and never moves on.

My Logs are attached.

The game.log you gave me has a desync in it, but has launched correctly.

So I believe I have solved my problem. After hours of re-installing Supreme Commander, re-installing FAF and
fiddling with old versions I found that the file 'lobby.nxt' was causing me to be unable to create Skirmish games
Offline and unable to create Online Games as well.

SOLUTION:
By deleting this file from your /gamedata directory, you will revert back to the original lobby created by GPG and
be able to play skirmish games (Test mods).

OR:
You can replace the 'lobby.nxt' with an older version that worked. I just so happen to have one and will Link it for those who would like to use it.

WARNING:
This does not fix the problem with creating custom games Online. As of now I am still unable to create online
games. I still can not find out why. My only guess is that when I try to create a game, it first requires me to
update the 'lobby.nxt' file and then runs back into the same problem.

EDIT:
After downloading the 'lobby_coop.cop' file by trying to create (and successfully i might add) a coop game, I then became able to create custom games online!!!! Not sure what the cause may be or even if it was the solution but It is worth noting and letting the rest of you know.

You need to provide logs. You did not provide good logs.
