Clicking double on "log in", and nothing happens

Recommended Posts

Im helping my friend, here is her problem:

Hello,

Thank you so much in advance for help. It's very important to me. :icon13:

I can't create character or log in to EL, when i click double on "log in" or "create new

 

character",nothing happens. I can click, and click, and click - no result. (tried hitting

enter. :))

I updated my graphic card drivers. It's newest EL client.

Windows XP Home edition 2002, service pack 3

Intel Core 2 duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66 GHz

2.67 GHz, 2.93 GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT

 

I tried most common tricks, turning off shadows, poor man etc. :hug:

Download Speed: 128 kbps (16 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 50 kbps (6.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

(i know its slow, but i live in small city)

 

I have avast! antivirus, tried to shut it down. I connect with modem.

Maybe i should try to open some ports? :)

 

Again, thank you very much for any help. :hiya:

 

 

 

Here is screen:

(it connects with server smoothly, no problems with it)

there has been a similar problem posted before.

 

if you want, please read my answer here: <click me>

 

please read the instructions carefully. i shall not be responsible for any damage that may arise from this if you fail to follow the steps properly.

 

you may also want to copy and paste the contents of error_log.txt (found in: My Documents/Eternal Lands/main/error_log.txt) here so that we could examine the process more clearly.

 

good luck!

hmm...this is the only error i saw in the logfile that could affect the game. this is pretty strange, since you said you followed my instructions, and you changed the el.ini files (are you sure you changed the TWO el.ini files?).

 

please make sure EL is installed in E:\Eternal Lands. if you have any other installations (even backup), please rename the el.exe files you find to anything except 'el.exe'.

 

if you prefer extended offline support, please email me at dibclark@gmail.com. i may be able to help you better.

Everything should be right about it, DibClark. I've followed your instructions carefully. Thank you, I'll email you if I still can't manage.

I've tried your solutions, Maxine. To be honest, I'm not so skillful at computer and I'm not sure if I done it wright. Anyway here I post the screen after typing first 2 commands.screen2d.jpg When I type the third, everything disappear and the window empty.

so your connection TO the game server is working, but it is possible that incoming port 2000 is blocked by ISP or someone in between.

 

try to login to the test server at port 2001,

 

read about that problem here

http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.p...t=0&start=0

 

 

btw: ofc it must be 'tracert game.eternal-lands.com' and not 'tracert www.game.eternal-lands.com'....

Thanks, Gilrain. You're probably right, because when I typed into DOS box the commands "telnet the-green-leaf.de 2000" and 'telnet game.eternal-lands.com 2000' (as suggested in the instructions you recomanded) I saw just a black screen. But I don't know how to log in to the test server at port 2001. It wasn't explained in those instructions and I'm not so good at computer ;) Could you tell me what to do it, please?

So now:

 

1. Check your OS firewall or router firewall if it is not blocking port 2000

2. Check your ISP if it is not blocking port 2000

3. Use Learner’s proxy (port 443 I think)

 

Good luck!

Call the internet service provider and ask them if they are "blocking outgoing TCP connections on port 2000", if they say they are, ask them to stop blocking for your account.

If they refuse to, for whatever reason, tell them they just lost your business and find a different internet service provider.

 

EDIT:

Or, i guess, u could pursue Learner's proxy... but these damn ISP's need to be taught that it's not their place to enforce unwanted firewall rules :<
