I keep getting a fatal error that says "unknown auth protocol 254."

No clue what that means or how to fix it...

Did you add the "Auth" string to regedit and assign it the correct value? The value should be 77.46.18.50 and it should be under segs_test

So, about how many attempts does it take to connect?  I've tried at least a dozen times so far, but no dice. 
Also, is the server supposed to be called UNNAMED or did I screw up and end up trying to log in to a non-existent server?

The server should'nt be UNNAMED I'm pretty sure. When I logged in the only server I saw was called Freedom. I had trouble logging in the first few times too. Try running the game with the "-console" command and it should tell you what's going on. If you get something like "Auth:Waiting for protocol version... failed <45.01>" that means the server is stuck and currently not working (right now, it resets itself every 15 minutes I believe).

Also, make sure you have your router set up to allow the ports tcp 2106 and udp 7002/7003

I double-checked this and had to add this string.  Now I get the same  "unknown auth protocol 254." error.

Both the "Unnamed" and  "unknown auth protocol 254." point in the direction of incompatible client versions.
So what versions are You using fine people ? :)

Simplest possible check :

Take a look at this post : http://segs.nemerle.eu/forumz/viewtopic.php?p=8073#p8073
It might shed some light on the crashing - while -logging in thingy :)

Okay, now we're getting somewhere.

Is there somewhere I can get the compatible version?  And how do I make sure the segs_test is using it once I get it?

(also, thank you so much for your patience in dealing with my ignorance.  I really, really appreciate your help!)

Okay, kinda confused on this step:
"
  • cd "The name that should not be uttered\The directory i love\The bestest things in the whole universe\The Name of Coh I chose""


Or is there a helper app now?  If so, where...?

Edit: Nvm, I got in!

THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! :D

So, I logged in, made a character, got to Outbreak and... couldn't move or see my powers.  Is that normal at this point?

I'm excited about this.  I'm going to wait for a bit of further development before I start trying to get in (for one thing, I'm on a Mac, and that server predates CoH having anything resembling a Mac version)

Actually, as I type that... I wonder if I could just use the newest Mac version as a wrapper, and replace the "coh" folder with the older version?  That may be worth trying out.

... might need to free up some disc space first, though.

i managed to get onto the map to day for just a bit then it crashed ... so it goes ... i know we all are happy that the project is up
but we need to find a way to get devs involved ...  i've started with programming but i am still some time away before i can really
get involved ...

i'm to noob here to make such a statement ... should we run a vote ? any ideas how we can pull the attention of the community ?
