unable to validate allegiiance installation after asgs auto update

[Achtung]

QUOTE (Pook @ Aug 2 2006, 03:34 PM) Ok I give up.

Here's the latest ASGSClient and ASGSUpdate, as well as the R2 Builds of Allegiance.exe and AGC.dll

Put them all in your Allegiance directory and you should be good to go.

Hi pook,

The autoupdate didn't work for me either, I did a manual update and that hasn't worked either

As an aside, last night aarm and blake both were having problems with it not updating properly. They renamed got latest build etc, however the only thing that worked was to send them my copy of allegiance.exe.

Any help would be appreciated /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Still having the same problem, allegiance is unable to launch and by the look of it the agsclient is unable to stop the allegiance.exe, for that matter neither the task manager, nor any of my adware programs that can kill processors can stop it either. Very weird, I am not experiencing any other problems with any other application. I have uninstalled, then reinstalled allegiance, even taken a copy of a friends and plonked it over the top yet all still have the above result.

Here is a summary of my machine any help would be appreciated /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

What i dont understand is why Achtung is getting as time out after an update. What was updated as far as the network side of things go?
Everthing seems to work except allegiance.exe accessing what ever it is supposed to talk too.
He has not had to touch his router/modem to play before. but after the update it seems like there is some sort of miscommunication happening causing a time out; PORTs? forwarding? Did any of this change with the update? /ninja.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ninja:" border="0" alt="ninja.gif" />

Actually, it looks like Allegiance does not launch fast enough.
Try the following:
Open ASGS, do NOT sign in.
Open Allegiance without the ASGS shortcut.
Wait for it to launch.
Close Allegiance.
Hit login as fast as possible.

Does that work?

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the problem seems to be a strange one. Allegiance.exe won't actually launch, if I look at the task manager it just sits in memory using about 60k (of memory). I have tried all of the copies of the .exe avaliable as well as one from sables machine. I have no problem authenicating with the server in fact when I login with agsclient my callsign can be seen listed as logged in. Also agsclient validates my allegience build. Since everything else on my computer runs perectly I'm beginning to think I might simply have a weird "ghost in the machine" problem. I am guessing allegiance is written in VB and it is beyond my understanding why the gui won't launch.

I will wait awhile to see if anyone else has experienced this problem ( I think this is a first) but sadly I feel if I wish to continue playing a machine rebuild is in order:(:(:(.
