Tried the flushdns thing, got the message "The requested operation requires elavation" I'ma gonna wait a few days, then start to get worried, I love soldat. The thing that confuses me is that it works on my old computer (XP, new one is vista if that matters) and they are, like I said, on the exact same internet. At least I can still play it...

Don't quote me.. But try 67.106.77.21
It's the lobby ip my server was using last night

I take no responsibility for the problems you have down the road if you put the new lobby IP in your configs without using DNS. The lobby server IP will probably change again, the difference next time will be that I'd be anticipating it and could make the transition 100% transparent (I've been changing the lobby server around on and off for over a year and nobody had any idea because of how I was doing it)..

The only reason it caused a problem this time is that it was unanticipated.

Go ahead and put the IP in your configs, but when I change the lobby next time (like I have been as I've worked on it), you'll have problems.

the trick perhaps would be that the next time it changes, just place the old ip (rr.soldat.pl) back in the text file?

Lobby server is not responding . I really hope it will worke soon as you will fix it. Connection by favourites works ... but lobby

Do this, open lobby_servers.txt (it is in your Soldat folder) and replace what's in it with 67.106.77.21. The next time it doesn't work, open the file and replace that ip address with rr.soldat.pl

That should do it.

Can't you have multiple IP's and web addresses in there, like if you had this

Code: [Select]

rr.soldat.pl
67.106.77.21

Then it would try rr.soldat.pl first, if that didn't work, then it tries 67.106.77.21.
Does it do that?

Im saying this cause once i read that you could have backups in the file like, some website for the all seeing eye, and if the lobby was down it would use those.

EDIT: Ok, I tried that idea i had, and it works (well it gets the servers now, but when u change it, i don't know).
So could someone tell me if this is a good idea?

wow... Suddenly the lobby requests are much much faster! and im not getting the sudden stop in progress.

The maintenance really did miracles

thanks guys

That is probably because there is only about 220 servers when you request

EnEsCe · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2008, 11:31:18 pm »

The whole POINT of not using an IP in the lobby file is for times like this when the IP changes... Just flush your cache and be patient

oh.. alright :/

so when there's more servers again it will be normal speed??

Despair · « **Reply #31 on:** July 14, 2008, 04:41:40 am »

I'm not sure whether this has anything to do with the server maintenance(but it has coincided with it), but when I use the lobby it works fine until it it pings the servers and I cannot enter ANY server(not even gather servers) at all. Here's a screen:

Hair|Trigger · « **Reply #32 on:** July 14, 2008, 04:48:32 am »

I get that sometimes. I restart and its back to normal, not sure why it happens

The ping has absolutely nothing to do with the lobby server, that is done by the soldat client itself.

a fool · « **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2008, 09:09:10 am »

but anyways, I believe it is useless to change the file since it seems to work fine now :O

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #36 on:** July 14, 2008, 09:58:16 am »

yes, it is useless to change the file. As EnEsCe and I have said, everyone should really be patient and not change the file. We don't want to deal with peoples' problems when the lobby IP changes again in the future and they hard-coded it against our advice.

chutem · « **Reply #37 on:** July 17, 2008, 01:18:37 am »

it wasn't hard coded, I added another line with the new IP, and FYI I haven't changed the lobby_servers.txt file, it is still like:

rr.soldat.pl
67.106.77.21

And works perfectly.

oneironaut · « **Reply #38 on:** July 24, 2008, 04:16:46 pm »

its still fucked.
