Failed to connect to lobby.

Cadillac · Post by **Cadillac** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 9:24 pm

This isnt a bogstandard noob error so please read this before ignoring me.

This is a FAZ Beta ONLY problem. I can connect to the lobby and play games fine on FAZ, but 5 seconds later, when I try the Beta it doesnt work. I tried this process a few times but it made no difference.

I dont think that it can be a problem on my end because my FAZ works fine so it cant be the internet, and i have the latest version of FAZ Beta and everything, but it just wont connect to the lobby.

Help?

Thanks

Are you at least getting the Beta Lobby's MOTD (message of the day)?

I just checked, the Beta Server Lobby is running.

What do you get if you try and ping fazdev.alleg.net in a cmd window?

ping fazdev.alleg.net
Ping request could not find host fazdev.alleg.net. Please check the name and try again.

Alleg.net is down, prolly the DNS.

I can't log in.
In "not" beta it loggs but immediatly logs out. In beta in has connected but, it doesnt find the games list.
What to do?

The beta is offline, because ASGS/FAZ beta Client are unable to connect to the beta server (fazdev.alleg.net).

FAZ beta has the same problem like the regular Allegiance.

Guys, I downloaded the files and followed all the instructions. I get a "Failed to connect to lobby" when I try trough FAZ icon, and I get the no authentication through AGS. I tried pinging the server, that's fine. I can alse see the welcome message. I just can't get to the lobby. Any ideas?

no, thats not the problem, this was BEFORE the Alleg went down, i was having my FAZ problems, and no i didnt even get the MOTD. IT cant be anything to do with the internet unless there ar different settings required by R3 to the current Alleg version?

If you cannot even get to the MOTD then it umm, has everything to do with the internet /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> The MOTD message is gotten through an http call from the client. I am guessing you cannot get to fazdev.alleg.net.

Open a command (cmd) window and type 'ping fazdev.alleg.net'. You should get a response.

To be clear you followed the instructions in http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index...showtopic=23828

You installed the beta (step one) AND THEN did step two?

And you are starting the beta by either launching ASGS and selecting Beta Mode or you are clicking on the beta client (not the regular allegiance.exe).

What version number are you getting for the beta client (right click, properties, Version tab and go to Product Version tag, in the item name box, NOT the File version at the top of the vesion tab.

I havent tried FAZ Beta since I last posted, when i have the time (most likely this weekend now) i will do i full re-install in accordance to the instuctions you handily linked and get back to you then.

Thanks for the help guys.

I have this too. I have a Sonicwall firewall so most likely I will need to open the ports. I do get MOD though and pings are fine though laggy ~500ms
