Well this is a happy surprise indeed.  ;D

To explain how we're still flying, I'll hand you over to Ace, the guy who's been on top of that.  Short of it though is, the Zone's dropped both XvT and XWA so we're using a program/lobby like the Zone of sorts.  Works fairly well it looks like. 

So why don't you two get back on the Comms and say hi already!  Tongue

Hey VC and Vader glad to see you two back on the net!  This place is still alive and kicking although we seem to have a few more nutz here than before lol...........anyways how we are still flying is a simple answer.  we just use xvt and xwa like ole times lol.  where we are flying these days is tougher to answer but I'll try my best to explain without totally confusing you.

That is a link to the new client program that we are using to launch games from.  As Tank mentioned 2-3 years ago the zone officially dropped xvt and xwa from it's gaming list.  Needless to say our little community put up one heck of a fight but in the end we lost out to business decisions.  So once you dl the client and unzip it, you'll have a folder named "redist" with what appears to be a bunch of random stuff in it.  Look for a red star destroyer icon named "sample".  Only use "Sample" not "Sample no resize".  I'm not sure what the diff is though.  Click on "Sample" and it will give you a pop up that ask you to agree to the terms of service, which is basic good behavior code of conduct stuff.  Say yes and then you'll be taken to a screen with a server name and a button that says connect.  click connect and then you'll be asked to register a screen name.  Once this is done you can log in and enter the Errant Venture XVT/XWA gaming lobby.  Some of us have to shut down firewalls to get it to work so this can be an issue.  Doesn't seem to be as laggy as the zone servers and runs very well for a fan made program.  If you have any questions feel free to ask me or tank.  Once you get the hang of the new client it is pretty simple, but can be a handful to adjust to.

I've been digging a lot and I've found a few links at BSC that could be of help.

Some other things that can be checked if you're having trouble:  http://www.battlestats.com/mb/?forum=2&topic=4067-13606

The old link to the redist.zip file:  http://www.lukasrediger.com/xvt/redist.zip

Someone with a similar problem to Az:  http://www.battlestats.com/mb/?forum=2&topic=3776-12440

There's at least two people to contact about it.  Stressor, or CosmicDebris

Stressor:  [email protected]
CosmicDebris:  [email protected]

That's about all I've found that's relevant I think.

Good research there tank thx for the effort. If ne one gets in and heres of someone who may know somin more, they can get ahold of me via IM. I added stressor to my MSN (dunno if he uses it or not) and I am always on that, yahoo, ICQ and AIM.
