how to look at how multiplayer is done?

#1 Post by freem »

This forum instance really have a problem.... my cookie seems to expire way too fast. Rewriting again, again in faster way....

Is there is some lobby, irc or whatever closed-source instant chat stuff to see how many players are willing to start a game? How could I see how a multiplayer game runs, without participating, to see if I'd like it?
Original post was more in details, but it's boring to rewrite all...

That's probably due to your own web browser settings.

But you can do this:

There is a lobby at freeorion-test.dedyn.io. Use 0.4.9 release for it.
Gentoo Linux x64, gcc-11.2, boost-1.78.0
Ubuntu Server 22.04 x64, gcc-12, boost-1.74.0
Welcome to the slow multiplayer game at freeorion-lt.dedyn.io.Version 2024-03-15.b3de094.

You can also join [email protected] with an XMPP client.

If "remember me" is checked when logging in, my forum login cookies seem to expire about once per month. If you let an unsubmitted post sit for several hours, it will sometimes glitch, but previewing before submitting will avoid that.

This is sort of a general problem with PHPBB. If you continue to have problems, create your message in a text editor and paste it in. Also, with many browsers you can just go back and find your editing window still populated.
