On my gift server I have updated the code base to the latest nightly. However, since this is an old FreeBSD I have to compile with USE_IPV4_ONLY.
When trying to connect to gift, I get just an error message "NWC_GAME" expected. This still needs to be fixed before release.
What version of FreeBSD is it?
are there any trace of the clients connection attempt in the servers log?
Edit: would it help to increase max-loops-count and timeout in network_filetransfer.cc: line 184,185? If it fails with no NWC_GAME then there is already an established connection ???
Another possibility is that something got wrong with saving the game on the server side.
The game does not start to save at all, according to log.
From home, I get by trying to connect by directly entering into the load game box: "Der Vorgang wurde Erfolgreich beendet." I did not even know we had such error boxes like window in the program. SHudder.
Edit: Ok, that was indeed a windows error message ... If I set the server to -log 1 and -debug 5 it works; but not without those?!?
