TMyApp 10-29-2002 09:05 AM

alright... looks like things got even worse (once again)... the web space providers that we are using are tweaking our accounts so that the game loading times seems to get slower and longer with each day (even on fast connections)

the other day it took me 5 minutes to get a 300 game module on a dsl connection (something that normally takes 2 seconds)

in anycase... since we can't solve the server problems (over night) here are some solutions:

if u'r stuck @ the loading screen (and can't even get the "ok" button to continue) and the game "just sit there"... first thing, check if u'r modem is working... (are you sending information back and forth ?? ie: are the two "modem lights" in the bottom right of the screen beside the clock blinking ??) if so... just... give it some time time.... if not, CLOSE the window, and try to load the game once again)

i think i forgot to mention this in the past... but the game will auto-append the download (on most computers).... so if u get some of the game loaded... it stops... just re-open the game window to "append the download" :biggrin:

same goes for when you are out of the "loading" screen, and are in chat or the main menu... if the game's loading bar just "sits there" (@ 70%+) ... check the modem... if u'r sending information... good... just wait.... if it doesn't seem like it is doing anything for 10min+ (or u'r not sure).... close the window and press the "mirror1" button once again....

now.. the "browser cache" problem... YES i've asked all of you to "clear u'r cache" to fix these types of problems"... HOWEVER... you probably don't need to keep on doing it over and over again.... if you just CAN'T seem to get the game no matter how many times you try to load it... fine.... clear u'r cache... ONCE... then keep on trying... :biggrin:

if you keep on clearing the cache after ever time you close the game, you won't be able to "append the download" ... so u'll just keep going through the loop of gettin' some 70% of the game over and over again (forever)....

soo... clearing u'r cache helps... but DONT' do it every time the loading bar stops and u close the game window... and if u'r not sure how, here are the exact instructions on how to do it in Internet Explorer (IE):

1: go to "tools" and "internet options"
2: in there, u'll see a "delete files" button, press it...
3: a new window will pop-up with a "delete all offline content" check box... CHECK IT... and press "ok"
4: u'r done :biggrin:

... now... it may also help a LOT of you to setting u'r borwser to "save u'r cache" ... this will mean that when you get the game ONCE.. it will stay on u'r hard disk.. and you will NOT need to re-download it over and over again.... and here is how you do it in IE:

1: go to "tools" and "internet options" (once again)
2: in there, u'll see a "settings..." button.. press it...
3: at the top, where it says: "check for newer versions of stored pages"... that should be set to "Automatically" or "Never"... if it is set to "Automatically" and the browser still makes you re-download the game every time, set it to "Never"
4: at the bottom of the same window you'll see a slider for: "amount of disk space to use"... make sure that is set to 100mb+ ... if 100mb doesn't seem to help the problem, set it to 200mb+
5: hit "ok"... and u'r done :biggrin:

i hope this helps a few people... for the hopeless ones for whom nothing seems to work... my advice is to grab the "downloadable" version of the game... and for those who did it and you can't seem to sign-in with your l/p... well... just wait... i'll fix the prob as soon as i can :biggrin:

PARADISE-X 10-29-2002 04:58 PM

Thx...Ur always helping a member in need...But u could of said check the faq for help...

sk8erfox805 10-29-2002 07:30 PM

some ppl is 2 lazy to read the faq

10-29-2002 10:12 PM

thanks TMyApp! you're always the deed :D

Nantuko Joe 10-31-2002 06:33 AM

TMy, i have a question.

None of you posted is working for me. On the Mirror 1, it takes a MAD long time just to see the "OK" button, then it logs me in OK, but stops loading at about 55%.

With the downloadable version, it can't even log me in. It just says "Attempting to Authenticate, please wait".

Sooo....if what you told us to do won't work for me...what do I do?

Roll 10-31-2002 06:53 AM

That happened to one of my friends computers. Try re-downloading it. It worked for my friend, so you can give it a shot, right?

Nantuko Joe 10-31-2002 07:48 AM

---i had another problem here, but nevermind, i got past it---please ignore or delete this post--

Elena 11-01-2002 03:41 PM

Well i actually got in the game then when i click go in the chat room it said "internal error" and it closed on me. What should i do?

akuma_forever 11-02-2002 11:08 AM

darn you web providers! :biggrin:

(R)Dragon(R) 11-02-2002 11:43 AM

lol thx TMyApp

Nantuko Joe 11-05-2002 07:38 AM

TMY, i have a problem with the downloadable version. It doesn't get past the "Attempting to Authenticate" screen. I type in my username/password, but it will sit there forever saying "Attempting to Authenticate." What should I do?

QUIET_KILLER 11-05-2002 12:38 PM

[color=blue:post_uid4]If it is when you type in your name and password.
Then try this Make your name that you want over.
If it say's that this name has already been made.
Then it probably will take a while for you to get in the game then Joe.
That is how it work's rarely for me sometimes as well.[/color:post_uid4]

[quote:post_uid4]same goes for when you are out of the "loading" screen, and are in chat or the main menu... if the game's loading bar just "sits there" (@ 70%+) ... check the modem... if u'r sending information... good... just wait.... if it doesn't seem like it is doing anything for 10min+ (or u'r not sure).... close the window and press the "mirror1" button once again....

[color=blue:post_uid4]That should have solved the loading problem.
If that did not help or too lazy to read this.
READ THE FAQ :biggrin: All in all if that fail's Joe.
Make a New letter for your name Like NantukoJOEY.
If you still continue to get the same problem.[/color:post_uid4]

That happens to me. What I do is what works for me might not work for you.

Cancel it and type your password again and click OK.
Doesn't Work
Cancel it and type your username again and click OK.
Doesn't Work
Cancel it and type your username and password again and click OK. Hope that works. Sorry if it doesn't.

TO clear something up with all the ####ies. it's not that you can't say funny. It's that you can't say fu

justi313 12-02-2002 11:51 PM

TMyApp 12-04-2002 02:42 PM

greyfox: everyfin is fine.. check u'r end...

justi313: make sure u download ALL of the .CCT files and put them into the same dir as XvsSF.EXE

voitz 12-25-2002 09:29 PM

i tried everything you said TMy, but nothing worked.. is there anything else we can try out aside from the others?

sorry if i'm adding time to your project, but just take your time. no need to answer quickly.. but try your best :biggrin:

STRIDER_HIRYU 01-21-2003 08:34 PM

so just to clear this up, you just want to wait even if it kind of freezes after you choose your character. because most of the time when i want to pick SENTINEL it will pick RYU for me and then kind of stop. So i just wait? :(

viper2040 02-04-2003 09:36 PM

I'm somewhat curious why im not experiencing these problems. While my connection IS T1, im out in the middle of rural Maryland, and theres a firewall on; so why does the OK button appear as soon as spideys head is visible?

Am i doing something wrong? is it supposed to be this fast? and if so, why is the lag so bad here? Im confused :biggrin: :alien:

dark-guardian 02-12-2003 11:49 AM

yo im loading now thanks for fixing the problem. c ya around

kidmatrix 11-05-2003 06:07 PM

Nferno666 11-29-2003 09:35 AM

make sure that your user name and password are correct..btw did you even make a sn or are you trying to log on just like that with any name?

beautyqueen 11-29-2003 10:20 PM

and if you have pop up stopers like me "press and hold controll"and it will pop up and if you have aol from stores there should be a tab that says something about blocking pop ups just turn it off till u get in!!!!! :D :D

Evil_Ryu2002 12-07-2003 11:35 PM

I think there is something wrong with the download and in mirror one I can only log in as player but can't sign up or log in with my account that i signed up at school

Domo_origatou 06-07-2004 04:22 PM

I have a new problem. After I click okay, the loading bar stays at 50% and the window turns white. I tried waiting or reloading the game but nothing seems to work.

It was working fine this afternoon...

Iplay2win 06-07-2004 09:45 PM

it's probably just the servers...try again in a few hours

devilsoul 06-07-2004 09:53 PM

[quote:post_uid0="Iplay2win"]it's probably just the servers...try again in a few hours[/quote]
Omg..Did you even read his post? He said nothing about Servers....Anyway it happens...i just press f5 and it would work from then on..

Domo_origatou 06-08-2004 02:55 PM

Wow... it still doesn't work :(

I tried pressing f5 but it doesn't seem to help. I guess this could be the end for me.
