Game problem!

[MrSlayer]

Greetings everyone,


I'm Slayer. Started playing Altitude when there was the first steam free weekend and now, when I got paypal, I bought it

So here is the first problem

I launch the game from the Steam Library.

As soon as your logo pops up, I can hear a pop up and then it shows me a screen, where I have to change ports in order to start the game. I tried going to 27280 and anywhere close to it, put as soon as I hit ok, it crashes.

Here is what I did to try and fix the problem:

- 5 fresh reinstalls
- Running Steam as admin
- Turning off Firewall
- Turning off any other bandwith program
- Tweaking the options.xml folder and setting the unp to false and the port to 48000
- Verify integrity cache in Steam
- Tried running the stand alone with the same problem


I would really like to play the game as soon as possible

Slayer

Try turning off any antivirus or internet security software or make sure you properly added an exception for Altitude. Your problem sounds like this other thread:

Alright, so I turned off my Anti Virus ( Avast, only know how to turn off those active stuff) and I forwarded all the ports I tried testing. Nodda.

I also tried turning off Xfire and running Steam in offline mode with no results.

I'll try uninstalling Avast now but I'm not sure it will work.

So I checked my logs and here are a couple of the lines that pop up

Start -> Run -> cmd (to open a dos prompt)
In the dos window, type
ipconfig
From the results, select the "IPv4 Address" corresponding to your primary internet connection. In my case the value is 192.168.1.4

Now, use a text editor to open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\altitude\config\optio ns.xml
On the line starting with <networkOptions...

Replace
bindIp="ANY"
with
bindIp="ipv4address_obtained_from_instructions_abo ve"

Replace
port="27272"
with
port="48000"

Replace
upnpEnabled="true"
with
upnpEnabled="false"

Then save options.xml and relaunch Altitude.

[MrSlayer]

That worked!

Next problem I'm having



Any idea how to unblock that?

[lamster]

I'm guessing you need to disable any anti-virus/security products.

What happens if you visit this link

http://update.altitudegame.com/0.0.3...rce-config.xml

in your web browser? Do you see a page like this?

<ResourceConfig>
<version major="0" minor="0" micro="356"/>
<resources>
<Resource path="pack_10b493ff" size="252237" crc32="3123552621"/>
...

[MrSlayer]

Yes, I can see it

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<ResourceConfig>
<version major="0" minor="0" micro="356"/>
<resources>

etc


I've said goodbye to my antivirus yesterday and I turned off the firewall aswell.

[lamster]

Try downloading the standalone version from

http://altitudegame.com

And performing the same configuration changes (config file is now C:/program files (x86)/Altitude/config/options.xml). Does that version work?

[MrSlayer]

Yep, the stand alone version works just fine

[MrSlayer]

Well this issue has been fixed.

Thanks for all your help!

(At the end, I copied the files from the stand alone to the steam because steam never downloaded the full game.)
