I have a laptop I am trying to play my son on, but as the battle loads up the game crashes at the same spot. It's when it's loading the "tree drawer" just about when it's almost done. Does anybody know a solution for this?

Also this is on single player, I haven't tried it for multiplayer yet, wanted to test it on single player to see if it lags or what-not. I noticed this when multi-player was loading on my other computer it has different messages as it loads.

Could you go to Settings -> Open game data folder -> infolog.txt and put the contents on pastebin?

I do have it running on low settings, and I can connect and see the the various games and chat w/ people. When I try to play a multiplayer game on it. It will start to load just for a second, then crashes out going back to the multiplayer game room.

Mr. obvious told me it seems to be a network problem. I don't know what could cause it, maybe too many sockets opened, or some fancy firewalling tool.

Run "netstat -an" (or netstat -abn as administrator) and check if you have lots of open connections or anything suspicious.

Netstat -abn was all greek to me. So here's a copy of it.

I hope this can help.

I guess this doesn't help any? Still not sure how to get it to work on-line.

well im no expert, but looking over your provided log does not ring any bells here.

there could be many reasons for this behaviour...

do you have a firewall (windows and/or external)?
what antivirus software do you use?

please describe the behaviour in more detail. as i understand it, it crashed on loading screen? you cannot see any ingame scene? also, same behaviour on the pc?

and as always, did you try to reinstall zero-k?

are you running zero-k lobby or another lobby? (zk lobby does download additional required content automatically)

this is only th lobby, which seems to work fine ;).

there was also an issue with .NET framework, maybe you check http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/2854 too.
