hi everyone, im currently trying to set up a 3.55 server to have a mess around on etc, i followed the sting guide but used the "3.55 working" files, ive done SQL and ODBC, i think ive set up the IP's correctly , got armadillo to crack but when i open the client files provided within 3.55working it doesn't load anything i have all gates open as provided in screenshot but unsure as to where its currently going wrong - this is run in oracle VM, windows xp home edition x86 SP2

many thanks 1709568532422.png

I have never done it in a VM but I have a spare windows XP machine that I ran Sting on if you want one... I am in Stoke (UK).

if i dont remember bad, you have to multi choose on the taskbar few apps and close at same time, also its a pain in the ass with the ips and ports, so make sure you have everything setted up, if you can't reach game after selchar, its a problem with ips/ports

Happy for me to mirror your ftp to mirfiles?
Feel free and anything else from that directory you think may be useful.

BTW. If anyone else wants an old Windows XP Dell PC for use as a 3.55 server for free, give me a shout, it just sits under my desk gathering dust.
