Just came here to post this.


Attempt to enter Special events 1 arena and it throws me out saying "Lost connection to the file server while downloading ahiiterr/italy.res

I have downloaded the Itraly.res from the downloads section.
I have the Italy.res load ok offline.
I can enter any other arena.


Please try a reboot of the arena.

"italy.res" is not on that host?

Same for me. I also tried creating a custom arena using the Italy terrain and I get the same message.

People are getting into the arena, albeit very slowly. Just keep trying, still plenty of time before FSO starts.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: 68falcon on February 01, 2013, 09:13:16 PM
One of my squad members did not have the file either. He tried to get into SEAII and was not able to. He got a message that the terrain Big Ocean was not downloading so he deleted that and now is able to get into both arenas. I have no idea what is going on but you might try what he did
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: perdue3 on February 01, 2013, 09:13:46 PM
Most people log in at 10 45 meaning squads wont be full until 11 30. I suggest pushing start time back until T+30.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: Baloo on February 01, 2013, 09:15:03 PM
Ok so apparently, you just need to keep trying to enter and it will go through...worked for me after 5-6 attempts...I mean just keep trying consecutive times
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: Scotch on February 01, 2013, 09:15:25 PM
Got in on my second try but this is going to severely hamper the event.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: Dantoo on February 01, 2013, 09:18:42 PM
OK here is one that probably doesn't work but has had a good hit rate so far:

If you updated the game and haven't rebooted since, then reboot your computer and then try to enter the sea.

Worked 100% from a low base but I think it may be coincidence.

Got in at last but had to make multiple attempts.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: Nefarious on February 01, 2013, 09:22:12 PM
We have about 40+ players in the SEA II, people are getting in. Please be patient and we will delay the start time if needed.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: Ruah on February 01, 2013, 09:22:39 PM
yes,

I deleated the italy and that italy-1 file s from the config and ahterr files, then as previously said, spammed the game till it worked (took a few times).

Post by: Nefarious on February 01, 2013, 09:43:02 PM
Getting reports that just shutting down the game completely and trying again will do it.

this is bull.... I pay money for this game to not have these problems... been trying for 30 min, totally missed any practice with squad, no idea whats going on, so if I do get in ill be lost
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: d0m1no on February 01, 2013, 09:49:35 PM
Have tried restarting and everything else posted so far... still no luck.

and I was really looking forward to getting in an FSO for the first time in like 6 months...

EDIT: after over 30 mins of trying it's finally downloading.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: ry1987 on February 01, 2013, 09:53:24 PM
this is what worked for me... I deleted everything in the file the italy file is suppose to be in, then went to hitechs site and downloaded italy terrain, then tried going in arena, didnt work, so i closed ACES and opened folder and deleted italy file, then got on aces and it worked!!!!
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: Dantoo on February 01, 2013, 09:57:35 PM
Over 200 people in now so it's working (just) keep patient and perhaps a small dance naked while striking yourself with nettles dipped in ashes might do it.

(If not, you just can't be doing it right! Right?)  :lol

Dancing naked now, hope to be there soon  :banana:

Well several of the download ports held the new skinpack. Which left the majority of the players to bounce.

 Also there was a glitch with the old Italy map. Several AK's had the terrain already but the server forced the download of it all over again.

Took me 31 tries after deleting Italy.res and restarting ... but it worked eventually ... THAT was a weird conflict
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: phatzo on February 02, 2013, 03:10:56 PM
I got in just as fields closed, very annoying. A 1/2 hour delay to the start considering the circumstances would have been nice.
Title: Re: Can't get into arena
Post by: snakeplissken on February 02, 2013, 03:36:34 PM
The start was delayed 10 mins.  Fields closed at T +15 for discos but if you would have contacted me, I would have let you up.  Combat was at T+ 39 which was almost 50 mins after regular start time.  Regardless of the time, the bombers needed gunners.

We will be reporting this issue to Skuzzy tomorrow since we believe it is a server issue or code issue. Italy terrain has been used before and is 2 years old and hasn't had this issue. Plus, over in the other arena was having similiar issues with Big Ocean (which is also old and has not been updated in the past several months). So need to have HTC to look into why the terrains hit a glitch downloading. Will get back to everyone once it is figured out and resolved.
