Can i still use the subspace client?

[SHRIKEE]

Since continuum doesnt work on my computers im wondering how to use subspace

 

it requires me to use a username and password... i know continuum is using profiles but how does it work on subspace?

 

i can start it and all but not connect to zones as it requires me to update (ssupdate.exe) which doesnt work and i have to have a username and password...

 

any hints?

 

Or else the solution to make continuum work

 

its not running at all and flopping around the process list in windows task manager.

 

Im on windows 2000 pro service pack 4

 

Thanks in advance!

Nope, you really can't use Subspace to play.

 

Did you try everything suggested in the FAQ to make Continuum work?

[SHRIKEE]

yes, well...

 

i didnt uninstall any spyware programs or antivirus since i simply think its ridiculous to change the setup of my computer just to play some game. i mean, would you buy a new pc if you specs dont meet a game? i think not.

 

Anyway. IF my antivirus (norman virus protection) is the problem it had given me some alert which it didnt.

 

Same for spyware (i use adaware SE), i heard of many adaware isnt the problem.

 

I ran the client in another user with 'run as' then it comes up with this error:

 

Could not initialize application (0xc0000142). Press ok to exit the application

 

Also i tried it on another computers (with same spyware and av protection and windows). i tried version .39 .38 and subspace 1.34 and 1.35 (both showed me a ingame version 2.0)

 

I also tried .38 with the .39 update. webinstaller also didnt work. and i tried the zipped setups instead of the installers. ALL DID NOT WORK.

 

i checked my error logs incase there might be something init, but no nothing is listed. Also i cleaned my register everytime i installed a new version...

 

My conclusion: continuum sucks. (or am i wrong)

 

I used to play, about 2 years ago. on the same windows with almost the same software, only then i was using adaware 6.x and an older version of norman av...

 

So then, no subspace. continuum wont work either.

IS there another client available i might try? ive been looking for it but didnt find anything *search phrase; subspace client @ vinden.nl <-- search site*

Nope, only Continuum can be used.

 

I guess you're out of luck if you don't want to try what the FAQ says. You never know what might work in that case

[»SD>Big]

actualy, you can use the subspace client in a zone, the catch is you have to be on the zone's VIP list... good luck with that

dont uninstall any antivirus and firewall, just disable it.

 

If you are paranoid about viruses disconnect from the internet after downlading the client (NOT web installer), disable virus scanners and spyware detectors and install. when you are done einable reconnect and see what happens.

 

 

The reason subspace wont work is because of the new fesatures in continuum, in many zones there is a setting enabled to stop subspace from connecting.

[SHRIKEE]

i am willing to try if continuum loads without adaware and av... but i think its ridiculous to have to shut down security systems to play a game .... so its no use for me to try.

 

plus i cant disable my av... if it could it would be a lousy program i think

adaware isnt active at all. only when i do a manual scan once a month

 

actualy, you can use the subspace client in a zone, the catch is you have to be on the zone's VIP list... good luck with that

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

how do i get on those vip lists? prolly to be good mates with the admin?

 

so i guess im out of luck then...

[Dav]

usually you just need to shut them down for the install, once thats done you can put them back up. Just be sure you allow continuum access through your firewall.

[SHRIKEE]

allright, i just did what you guys suggested,

 

as i couldnt deactivate my av i uninstalled it. also i killed adaware se

then rebooted, installed continuum. and it didnt work

then i killed !@#$%^&*inuum and installed my av and adaware again.

 

hope you guys are happy now, as i said before its not gonna work.

 

Anyway. i still think its the continuum thats causing the trouble and not any protection program.

 

plus ive been thinking: noone seems to know what the cause is but everyone is blaming protection software.... i think thats weird. it might as wel be the filesystem or the cpu which is not compatible. it can be a windows update thingy or whatever.

 

since continuum is kinda old. and the whole concept is old. i might as well be the newer windowss versions...

 

how can you be so sure its protection software if you dont know what the problem is...

 

*shrikee out*

[SHRIKEE]

i think ive located the problem in windows 2000 pro sp4. im working on it right now...

 

ive discovered as soon as a user has admin rights, continuum wont load.

 

I think this works for win xp aswell:

ive seen multiple posts about winxp the one account would start continuum, and another wont. (one is admin and the other is not)

 

 

As of yet i have NOT found a way to start it from admin accounts, the 'with other user' function wont work for me... some error code.

[»SOS]

Thanks for the new info. I'll add it to the FAQ.

 

The exact reason of the problem is not known indeed but if disabling nosy software fixes it often then, well, that's what'll go down as the problem's source before the real one is found

[candygirl]

Thats what i was talking about. admin or user one or the other can get buged up and some times you may have to remove one. If its admin, you will have to make another admin account to remove the bad one. I think this only works with xp?

[SHRIKEE]

not sure, but im gonna test it soon...
