No "Select Character" pops up
Module seems not to load up at all, and no Character Select appears on BG. Yesterday was working fine.
Anyone got an idea what happened? 2 other PCs are online Ok at the time.

You upgrade to 1.90? I think maybe BG is still on 1.89

follow up: Just for kicks I tried to log in to BG -- am getting the same thing as Gala.

Re: No "Select Character" pops up
whew i thought i as done for... but since my problem above, I have not tried again...
I ws already fully updated to 1.90, and after updating was in game for a game session working fine.
The next day, this happened.
I have not tried again, so i'll try after work today and hopefully it will work. Or i'll roll up a new PC.

Re: No "Select Character" pops up
I'm unsure how to reproduce what you're seeing here. Connection operates fine from me.
Are you sure you're connecting to 'bg.alandfaraway.org' ?
Did you download all the haks and are you sure they're installed on your system?

People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.
Re: No "Select Character" pops up
Stupid question, but have you tried backing out entirely your log in, and typing it in fresh? I accidentally added a . to end of mine once, and seemed like what you describe.

It's also possible that your machine is just being a little bit slow to tell if it needs to download stuff.
That can take a long time, even if you did all of your downloading on a different server.

Re: No "Select Character" pops up
^ this.
I tried again a day later (yesterday night) and just let it sit there and it did work - but just took a very very long time with nothing at all happening so even when load times take a long time usually it was such a long time and literally nothing at all was indicating that it was working, the first time just seemed like it just was not going to work ever.
But since other PCs were online, I knew BG was working, so i just sat there and waited this time, and literally nearly 10 minutes of NOTHING... again I almost shut it down again, but waited, and it did work.
Cheers

Re: No "Select Character" pops up
All this may be related to the fact that I have some problems with the backup download location.
If the backup location is first in the list then it may take a lot of time to time out and then go to the primary location.
I'll check that this evening.

Ah well the backup download location works again it seems.
Might be a temporary problem.
