Title: Tactical Missions won't start
Post by: Moonbane on January 31, 2008, 10:10:09 am

Hello there :)

Half a year ago, I tried the rc3 of Ufo:ai.

Compiling, Installing and running went flawlessy. I thought it kinda hard to play, but fun anyway.

Because of work and upgrading my PC, i had not the time to play a little.

Lately i gave it another try. Compiling and installing went smooth.

Also I can start the game, however if I want do play any tactical mission (singleplayer), I get the same Errormessage in my ufo-console and the terminal:

(It's only the meaning, i am at work and dont have the errorlog)

Connecting to localhost
Bad connectionless from loop interface
Unable to connect
Shutting down

I've opened the multiplayer port, described in the wiki. But it seems, the game cannot connect to its own tactical server.
So I believe it to be a network error, but i can't figure out where.

Im running Debian testing with Vanilla-Kernel 2.6.24 on a intel c2quad with 4GB RAM, nvidia 8800gtx. 3D graphic works flawlessy, i can play ut2004, doom3, wow (wine) with high fps.


thanks for your help.

I solved it. somehow my loopback adapter got broken.

Simply had to reconfigure.
