Nah man nothing there, because there is no "error". The entire loading process went fine.. it parsed everything with the usual odd warnings (nothing to do with networking - oftentimes normal in java) and put me at the main screen ready to play. Except of course there is no people for me to connect with.
thats cool sometimes an error log is made even when everything seems fine, so always worth looking 
Nah mate it's not that simple (I wish it were). Once again, my install is solid. I've already checked integrity of game (although that wouldn't confirm anything anyway given the issues I have - it's in a different realm). What are the "error files"? There is no "error" but I can look for those files. A far more comprehensive overview can be found on /var/log/messages which show nothing.
I think this is a Red51 thing
Have a look in your RisingWorld folder you might have errorlog files in there
Yes i still think red51 is the man you need, but you never know what we might find if we poke around lol
The output from the command line also tells us it's not even attempting to log in.
ie "skip registration/login"
Maybe it was your registration that went wrong after all lol or its been blocked by something going on with your pc, The hive seems fine for everyone else, are you able to log onto any other computer and download the game with steam then test it ? or maybe save your error files, then delete the game and reinstall it.
If The connection to the hive is working you should have a green line like the image below ?
when you load the game does it have a red symbol on the right top because that indicates that you have no connection to the HIVE. As long as you have no connection, you can't connect to multiplayer servers which require a HIVE verification ?
Will do, or as they say "done, done, and done"... as soon as I'm able heh.
yeah as soon as you can, just hung in there red51 is a realy good guy and he will sort you out
Cheers. I see the IP of rising cities is in New Zealand (I'm in Perth).. so might catchya around the traps one of these days
yeah your always welcome, most users from Perth get a realy good connection to my server so you should check it out.
Cool I'm probably at the older end of the spectrum at 39 but hope to meet some great people once we get this sorted
Same here i am 42 lol
ive massaged Red51 for you letting him know you need his help, hes been busy with the update lately so IDK when he will help
Display MoreThanks for sticking with me mate.. yep I can:

Maybe somethings going on at the hive end then, oO you will need to wait for Red51 to help solve this, yes i could see your running Linux
and i think most of the users on RW are over 30 years old, so maybe thats why we all seem so laid back lol.
Are you able to ping 5.196.33.36 ?
Nope - I'm running Slackware - no CPU hogging antivirus, anti malware required
I'm reasonably adept tech wise (B.Comp Sci '98) so I can give you anything from running processes to ip configurations
well Failed to connect: io.netty.channel.ConnectTimeoutException: connection timed out
means somethings stopping your game from connecting to the server its timing out / the hive
i don't think the problem is a lack of username. not saying that its impossible to be that, oO
but it looks more like the hive is down or your computer is not talking to the hive like it should be.
things that can cause this
1 The hive been down
2 Cable internet sometimes cause's problems like this
3 your internet has a problem
4 Something is blocking your computer from the hive
sometimes just rebooting your computer can solve the problem, im guessing you have, but have you done that.
Yep - I bought it off steam.
Whether I load from steam, or from the command line (as demonstrated above) the results are the same
steam should be logging you in under your steam username oO have you got any virus software running, maybe that's blocking your connection to the hive ?
Display MoreWell, my intention of waiting until the update to purchase finally failed and I bought the game today.
Am happy so far, even though I got lost (I purposely headed towards the sun at dawn after sleeping - ie heading east, but for some reason the sun disappeared altogether for a period of time when I was making my way back (ie keeping sun behind me to make sure I was heading west)). Anyway, that aside my issue is connecting to a server:
I try to connect and straight away get kicked because I don't have a username or account or something. I can't find where to create an account. On the main menu it says "unknown user: offline" or something - even though I am definitely online.
In short, how do I create an account to connect to servers to look at all the stuff you guys have done? (I'm not ready to play multiplayer yet - I wanna learn the ropes first - just look around
) Cheers.
when you buy the game an account is made, but i guess this depends on where you got the game oO was it steam ? or some other place
yeah was down for 2 days here and u know a lot about pcs and that what kind of upload speed would i need to host my own server
i think we are both taking about driffent downtime's lol Maybe your host was down they have nothing to do with RW, as it was fine here,
to run your own server from home, you just need a computer with say 2gigs of ram and say 100gig of hhd space 100gig is not needed to get the server going but its a good size to give your server database lots of room to grow, you also need a good internet connection the better the connection the better your server will work, there is plenty of info on this forum that helps you on how to setup your server.
yeah he is but that what it really takes to run a business was there a fire or just the servers go down for them few days
it was just a power cut, i don't know the cause of the power cut but it cant have been that bad as it was only down for a short time.
yeah it is a lot stress having a company he dose have a really good start to this game i really like to see him finish it
hes very dedicated, more than most users realize
ok all give that a try a little later a lot people just got on
and u hear any thing about the update coming out
No nothing Red51 has been too busy to even talk to me lately, so at a guess hes most likely gone or going bald by now from all the stress lol
now it really got me lost i set it to group Owner it say it not found so i put it in owner it put me in the group but i log out and back in and it puts me back in the admin group and yea i did restart the server
because your a admin your always in the server setup as an admin, when the group does not load or has a problem it will look at the next setting the main group your from and thats a server admin, so there is a problem with your group file somethings not letting it work
i would copy my whole permissions folder over yours and then before changing anything, test it by restarting your sever and adding your self to one of the pre made groups
ahh ok thanks for all the help and what about a color chart ?
NP the colors are Hex
Examples in Hex:
The other thing is, don't use Notepad to edit the files use Notepad++ free from the net
