I am having a problem on my TWGS where it kicks people out of the games into the menu. These aren't timed games, but people including myself in my test game have been just thrown out to the menu.

Any ideas?

Well, they might be an old problem. (That should have been fixed.) Or it maybe a new problem. But, no one can help you. As you have not given what version of TWGS/TW 2002 that you are using. Nor are you given any specific, detailed, information. As to what is happening just before the player is booted from the game.

The first thing we need to know is the version.

Hey there,

I am using ver 3 1.02. The complaints I have been hearing is that there is no set formula that kicks you out to the menu.

Heres the screen cap of it just doing it

Odd. Is this happening in just the one game or in multiple games?

I have 5 games (4 open, 1 closed), they seem to be happening in all of them. I don't know what helpers people are using, but it isn't doing that to me on other servers.

First running WIndows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. twgs ver. 1.01.55. when we set up the games and make any changes the TWGS server locks up as well as the computer. Any suggestions? TIA

Could you email your twerr.log for one of them to kemper3 at roguesrattery dot com?

It appears that all the drops are inactivity timeouts. Check what the timeout is set to, also check that the people who are experiencing problems have comms enabled (cn7). If you are inactive too long, you are booted in that manner. The timeout is sysop configurable. Normally you get warnings at 60, 30 and 10 seconds, but if comms are silenced, you won't recieve them. Additionally, I'm not sure if you receive timeouts warnings anymore at non-interactive subprompts, such as the holo/density menu in that cap.
