I have to go through this every turn I want to make ...

I've seen this behavior before if you don't load the mod first. As Wing Wah said, you can modify your shortcut to automatically load it for you. Or you can load it yourself via the "Advanced -> Load A Mod" menu selection.

Or you can just keep doing what you're doing. When it pops up that admin password screen (for a LAN connection no less), just cancel out back to the main MP menu and connect normally.

Kemal, there's a bug there that you're triggering each time around. When you select OK, the game dutifully loads the mod but then doesn't reconnect to the server, instead it tries to launch the game locally with whatever it sent you.

The proper procedure to use would be to load the mod manually *before* connecting to the game. Use Advanced->Load a Mod from the main menu.

Any solution to the hanging problem where it takes 2 attempts to log in?

BUG mod? When I had this issue on the prevoius version (NoScore Mod) it was due to BUG mod being installed as the embedded version (rather than the Mod Version).

The server is restarted! I decided to make a new save file since I had that bogus 12th nation in the original one.

If you encounter any login issues, I need to know about it immediately!

Thanks!

I got a "lost connection" problem once, then was able to log in.

Same situation as before.

**da_Vinci** · 10-16-2009, 11:45 PM

Login smooth as silk, just as with the first version.

I am having issues connecting to the server. Everytime I go to log in the connecting to host scroll pops up but just keeps going. Though civstats is showing me "logged in"

I'll try restarting it right now since nothing obvious appears to be wrong.

Correction...helps if I look at the right server.

The server itself must have rebooted for whatever reason since nothing was running on it. I've restored to Kemal's last login with over 15 hours left on the timer.

Looks like the server may have crashed during Kemal's log in about 30 minutes ago.

The server has been restored to the start of ManiaMuse's last login (about 2 1/2 hours ago). There's over 13 hours on the timer.

According to CIVStats something bad happened @ 15:40 GMT+2 and connection is timing out now (22:30 GMT+2).
