Hi,

It's odd that the message refers to being unable to find a "game" because the dedicated server should not be referred to as a game.

Are you using "Internet Game" (having adjusted the "Internet Game Settings" before that) to connect to your server?

heyn

Some background information on this: There is a difference in the usage of "network game" and "internet game", but internally, the same system is used.

When starting a "network game", actually a server is started limited to one game, and this game (having a specific name) is automatically opened. When joining this game through "join network game", the client connects to the server and automatically joins the game. If you try to use "join network game" to connect to a dedicated server, this automatic join fails (because the default game is not available), producing the above error message.

So, as heyn pointed out, instead of using "join network game" you have to adjust your internet server settings and then click on internet game.

yeyy..got it working, however.

i´m running a irc server on it also and would like to password protect the server (not the channel)

In the client i can only put password for channel is there any way of adding irc server password
for instance

/server 123.123.123.123 password newcoolpassword

ideas?

Actually, at the moment there is no option in the config file to configure a irc server password. However, you can hard-code it in the source code of the server, if you like.

Open
src/net/common/ircthread.cpp

IrcThread::IrcMain()
line 386, 388

irc_connect(s, context.serverAddress.c_str(), context.serverPort, 0 <--- [...]

It's the fourth parameter of irc_connect/irc_connect6. Replace the zero with "yourpassword" (including the " ), and recompile the server.
