Re: First Glimpse of the VGOEmulator World

I downloaded the client launcher and tried to create a character, but it wouldn't let me actually enter the game world. Basically, I would select create a character, choose DE Necro, give him a name, but then it would just hang when I selected either Isle of Dawn or hometown. I could still hit escape to bring up the menu and exit vanguard, but otherwise, nothing would happen.

I was getting that yesterday and found out that John was working on stuff and taking New Telon up and down while trying to fix things. After he posted it was back up, I tried again and was able to get through the rest of character creation and into Qalia.

Hmm, sadly this time it wasn't me... but an old familiar MySQL error I hadn't seen yet in VGOEmu

13:21:40.073 E Database Error running MySQL query (2006): MySQL server has gone away

I do not know where MySQL went, he's standing right there. I will restart the login/world and you can try again if you like.

I tried again but now each time, by the time it gets to the char select menu, I get this error:

Login session timed out. Please exit and reenter using the launchpad. (1002)

It only takes 15 seconds tops to go from desktop to the char select menu, so its not a long time.

Go Tools->Options in the top left menu, make sure public login server is checked and hit save.

We learned that people who use 1 VG Client for both live and emu will have issues with my launcher, because the official launcher deletes the loginserver.txt file I drop for you. I have a note to re-drop the file every time VGClientLauncher runs, but for now Foof's solution should work.

I checked and the options still had the "Use public login server" checked. I connected and it didn't time out this time, but I still can't create a character. After I choose "Go to Home town" it just sits with the character visible and the first and last name box at the top. I have to hit escape and choose exit vanguard to get out of it.

It's nothing you are doing wrong, for some reason (all of a sudden) the code that's been running for a week throws MySQL errors. All my other game servers are running fine. No idea why, sorry. Give it a few more days for Scat to return and tinker with the netcode.

And of course, I just created a new toon on New Telon, and got right in without a problem Maybe it is you...

I tried it again this morning and it gave me the same server timeout message. I moved all the VGClientLauncher files (executable, ini, and log) to a separate directory and reran them and it didn't give a timeout. I think it would have actually worked but I think the world servers were down. At the char select screen, I had the "Waiting for response from World Servers" box, and when I created a char, I went all the way to the server select screen, but couldn not choose a server. I was able to to back out to this initial screen though, so no bugs that time.

Was the world server down this morning around 6:30am EST? I'll try again sometime when its up.

My world is down until the netcode problem(s) get resolved. You can see the status of Login and any World connected to it on this website's Portal->Server list app.
