Ok guys, Seems we may have a bit of a problem.....Blast and I tried to play a game last night and were unable to do so as the persion trying to connect to the host received the following message "Error retrieving IP address"
I have since tried hosting with the Dreamcast and entering with the PC version but the same message appears. I have not been able to have a DC player join a PC hosted room as this has never worked in the past anyway...in fact...not sure if anyone knows....but I have tried a few times without joy to get a PC - DC game going....but its never worked....the best that can be done is to have a PC join a DC hosted room and then you can only go as far as the chat lobby and it freezes when you try to start the game. We also tried to play again tonight with the same problem occuring Anyway, back to the point...it would seem that the game is down at the moment, although we have no idea if its just a stop thats been pu on the DC version or if its down totally...Blast has said he is going to email gamespy tomorrow on the matter (not mentioning the DC version of course) just to see if we can find out the status of the server...I may also send an email. If anyone can shed any light or do any further testing please do so...if anyone want to check the PC version...send me a PM and I'll see if we can do a check..as I own both the DC and PC versions Lets not over react just yet...but this is obviously not a good sign Cheers, Craig |

Thanks for posting that mate
Im gonna leave you to do the email mate didnt get much luck on DC Only extra thing I can add is this. When online I tried to pull up sega's stats by clicking on his name, this also didnt work. Sega also tried to call up my stats with the same result, didnt work. The odd thing here is we can both call up our own stats on the main page before you enter a game lobby. This would make sense for me as I have a VMU saved char for the game BUT sega doesnt and has no save file. This leaves me to belive that our own stats are held in our Gamespy login. So we can login and call up our own info but not another players. Seems there is no gamespy login acct interaction on PBA at present. Wait and see what happens now. Laters |

I hope so Hi Fallout. Yeh if you read Sega's post properly it already tells you this. When you make a room and wait for players thats fine but when another player joins and start is pressed only the host gets connected to the main game room. The other player gets the " unable to retrive IP " message. So nowyou cannot talk play or even talk on PBA . The only way to communicate is by game room title lol. Lets hope it gets fixed. I wouldent be able to play today but I would try tomorow if you schedual for then. Let me know how you get on if you try today. Laters |

Hi,
Ok well I just sent an email...but there was no real section that I could send it to...closest thing I could use was "Game arcade" as the area of support required so I had to make do with that...this happens so often its annoying! So anyway an email has been sent regarding the matter....sent as a PC user....not a DC user....wouldnt want to make that mistake.... If anyone else can contact them saying about the problem that would be great...but in the meantime I will let you know of any responses Cheers, Craig |

Thanks for sending that mail mate hope you get a response . Its realy bloody annoying when there is no section to send comments about a specific subject. To be honest when I look at the Gamespy website you wouldent even have known that they host a ton of online games, hardly seems to be mentioned at all.

Well you cant check the server anyway without having another person to play against as the game dont crash til you try to start a game. We will try and get a test done soon. Whats the latest segadreamcaster?. Any reply from Gamespy?. Have you managed to do a server test lately?. Laters |

Hi,
Well the last email I received said the following: Sorry, but we are not able to help you anything to do with games. Please contact the game maker for more help on this. GameSpy provided the in game technology, but you need to contact the game maker for support. You can find more information on our in game technologies by visiting http://www.gamespy.net So basically they are passing it on...not much help....can anybody else send an email....im getting a bit sick of trying to make them listen As for testing...no havent done it recently, but to be honest I think this game will soon need to be removed from the online games list...I cant really see it coming back |
