Continuing login problems, especially after re-install

[★ Nude For Satan]

Not me, I seem to be fine.

 

But I am being contacted by multiple people who can't log in anymore.

 

Firstly, I'm horrible at computers and the interwebs. No idea at all. Used to know a little around 2001, 2002 ... its long left me behind since. Proxies and servers and so forth are all alien language. So me being their tech helpdesk is a fast track to disaster.

 

But I've suggested reinstall (using various host sites for the reinstall package), with no luck.

 

Then I've given them the dir list that works for me, no luck.

 

I've even given them the address port info my zone connect is using for a custom connect, no luck.

 

Adding this on top of issues with Chrome thinking everything is a goddamn virus, recent fuzmungle and server changes, and most importantly the slow leach loss of player base SS already suffers and its need to at least allow the crusty stay-on-er's to ... stay on, can we not create a one-stop-shop procedure for getting SS underway - a document/thread/whatever that step-by-steps people through and allows them to navigate the current obstacles that are frustrating so many?

 

What IS the best download address? Can the package be rebundled with the new server locs?

When problem {insert problem here} occurs, what is to be done/tried.

 

Is there anything under way to handle this? If its already done, where do I find it?

 

So frustrating telling people "Well, shit, if that didn't work, then I dunno. Please stay in touch."

My problem is a bit similar: I used to log in and play with no problems. Then I had to format my computer. As it's not the first time I do that, I did not back up continuuum folder. For a while (like 5+ months), I had no time for games. But now I do, and wanted to play continuum again... So I installed continuum from an exe back up, and now I'm facing the unusual message "Continuum has detected a problem and should be closed" and that happens only when I want to set up my Profile... I downloaded "zones" and no problems...

 

I've tried google searches, and no hints...

 

Tried to play on safe mode with network functionality, and happened the same...

 

Tried changing compatibility parameters, and happened the same...

 

Tried changing resolution on shortcut, and nothing...

 

Tried downloading a "newer" exe file, but seems to be that the last version was 0.40; I downloaded it anyway, installed it, but same results...

 

I'm running it in my (very) old dell inspiron 6400, win xp sp3, 2gb ram...

 

 

Any hints ?

 

Thank you in advance...
