For people having issues getting online

[mStation]

So..

just a quick recap of everything.. i was having issues aswell and i did 3 things to get the ripman client to connect.

1) on win8 (think also win7) go to the control panel, click on language, click on change date time and number formats. then change number formats to English (United Kingdom)

2) change the time zone on the pc to UTC 0 (greenwich, london)

3) inside the ripman client, delete the mir2.exe, delete the servers.ini
re download them from here
http://www.mirchronicles.com/patcher/mir2.exe.zip
http://www.mirchronicles.com/patcher/servers.ini.zip
unzip and replace in the client folder

do not overwrite existing files. you must delete them for some reason.

TRY to see if this fixes the issue

------------

last test for all
open the command prompt with administration powers and type: ping game.chronicles.com
check if it is still giving the following IP 87.76.27.12
if it is then let's flush the dns cache of windows by typing
ipconfig /flushdns

now retry to ping game.chronicles.com to check if it has fixed the IP to the new one.


AND

btw do this with calmness else you might miss something and replying saying DOESNT WORK doesn't help you if you don't try.

You should not post the IP on forums. It was hardcoded for obious reasons.

ok.. anyways since the server is now hosted with a proper firm also having the ip will not harm..

and it take 2 secs to know the ip anyways

ALL - Steps done - SAME Problem. EVEN after all steps changed and checked i used this FlyVPN you somewhere advised... Same problem.

 

[mStation]

in cmd, ping game.mirchronicles.com

what ip you get in reply?

i am thinking this is a dns propagation problem which has nothing to do with the team..

it can only be because the dns in the country didn't update yet or because you have cached the wrong ip and windows is too stupid to understand the difference

Thanks mStation! It's working now, I've changed language and region (in control panel) for Great Britain.

from where are you *and you changed the complete language of your PC ?

 

[sXeGaming]

on windows XP go to the control panel, click on language, click on change date time and number formats. then change number formats to English (United Kingdom).Thanks

 

[mStation]

glad this helped someone at least..

seems that it doesn't solve the problem to all though

 

[Breezer]

Nah, i managed to resolve the new IP but still the same message.

 

[thedeath]

That's not the IP for the game.

Anybody who can cause trouble can find it in a jiffy, given that even I know several ways how to go about finding it but know next to nothing how to go about attacking servers.

 

[mStation]

That's not the IP for the game.

i actually edited the post because i did post the correct IP before.. just removed it for security anyways even if it is easy to find out

 

[TheRealSphinx]

SOLUTION : CHANGE YOUR LANGUAGE of OPERATING SYSTEM TO ENGLISH United Kingdom - WILL HELP. There is a Client BUG.

Then you can connect to the Game and play.
