Connection failed - installing GCCG

[burton]

Hi all of you!

So glad that i found this site! can't wait to play LOTR online any longer!
When i was following the instructions (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,1474.0.html) to install GCCG, after I typed in my username, closed GCCG and launch again,
it said:
Connecting to gccg.serverbeer.com port 29120
connection failed
working offline
as you can see on the attached image.

I tried to relaunch, reboot the PC, but nothing happens.

My PC is a vista, normal 32-bit

Any problem?

Thanks!!!

Did you check your Internet connectivity? I know mine will randomly stop working occasionally, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, so try fiddling with your router.

Also, you may need to open port 29120, and I would suggest doing so if you haven't already.

I can install the LOTR images so it's not internet problem

wt do you mean open port 29120???

thx!

i tried to delete everything and start again
still doesn't work T_T

If you have a firewall on your computer, try disabling it. Also, make sure to delete C:\.gccg to reset any settings.

[burton]

I tried both
Doesn't work either!

Open your router. If you don't have a router, forget everything I've said as all ports are automatically open.

I can guide you through adjusting router/port settings if you'd like.

Oh, and btw, welcome to TLHH. Hopefully your technical difficulties should be sorted out quickly and you'll be playing with the pro's in no time. :Up:

actually i stay in college's dorm and i can't open their router lol

thank you very much for your patience

so do you think it is the problem of router?
any other possibilities?

[burton]

it's the router problem
thx Gate Troll!
you are really nice!

how to solve server closed connection ~ abnormal EXIT

how to solve server closed connection ~ abnormal EXIT

You can't. It's not up to you. For the most part.

I noticed several weeks ago (it may have been fixed by now) that buying certain cards would cause server closed connection - ABNORMAL EXIT. I know I was trying to make a monopoly on Eowyn, LoI and was bought 20 or so copies when server closed connection. When it got back up, I no longer could buy Eowyn, LoI without crashing the server (nor could anyone else for that matter). Certain other cards were causing the same problems.

Why this happens, is beyond me.

He encountered this when he entered the game at the first time.

similar to mine, but just different error msg

Burton has your error been fixed?

[burton]

Yes My error was fixed!
I can't play via wifi since I'm in dorm so i can't change any of the settings.
