Title: Custom Arena Error
Post by: BowHTR on March 01, 2014, 11:55:07 PM
When I try to create a custom arena, I get a pop up message that says "Problem occured while retreiving ahiiterr/2.res". I tried different Terrains and tried deleting all the terrains in the folder so it would just redownload them, but i still get the error.

Thanks in advanced.

I'm getting the same thing, have tied several time today to get a Solomons map downloaded.   My end it says I have the issue with either the 3.res or the 7.res.

I tried re installing AH and still get the error. A squaddie could create one, however.

Right now, as a workaround, try to start the arena again.  Be sure to check to see if your previous arena is actually running before trying it again.

I still get the error when creating the arena. However, the arena does still show up in the list after I go back to the custom arena tab. Upon trying to enter the arena, I get the error again.

This happened to me as well.

We know it is a timing error.  Hmmmm.  When I try it, I always get in on the second try as long as I do not exit the game between tries.

When BigRat was trying to create the arena, one was created without a name or password, and I was able to get into it.  At least I think it was the one he was trying to create.

We discovered that can happen as well.

Sometimes I'll get the arena up even though it listed the errors J500ss listed, but it will show the arena closed and won't allow me in.  makes me want to  :bhead

I tried it and trying twice worked. I made an arena and could enter it.

It should work.  I think many are exiting the game between tries and that will fail.  This is just a work around until we get a patch out.

So far tried the re-attempts 5 time with no success.  I'm not exiting the game between tries either.

Also tried this with other maps and no luck.

Help because we need practice for tonight's FSO.

Best,

In our squad we have found that once you make an arena successfully, you can't do it again the next time.  Is there something cashed that is causing a problem?

Before FSO, Jaeger tells me that he can't make the Custom arena work with any terrain so I go in this morning and I can't make the Custom arena work either.

After the normal splash message, a dialog replaces it that says,

Problem occured while retreiving ahiiterr/2.res

(copy sent to Skuzzy)

Edit:

Even with ndiles it says that it's downloading the terrain! The download dialog screen is behind the error dialog.

I tried this again with the TA arena. I got the same message "Problem occured while retreiving ahiiterr/2.res"  then the arena appeared. I tried to enter the arena and got the message again "Problem occured while retreiving ahiiterr/2.res".  Then the arena disappeared. Tried again and got the message that I already had an arena.

BTW the proper spelling is "occurred" and "retrieving".

I hope you meant the TA terrain in a Custom arena.

Yes. Somehow "map in a custom" went missing. I blame the cat.

Post by: Easyscor on March 28, 2014, 10:19:19 PM
It's still not working which is bad as we can't upload a terrain and test it.
 :cry

Even with ndisles

Tried this morning to create custom arena with ndisles like I have done many times before.  Could not do it, problem downloading terrain as reported above.  See attached

It's still broken.

Yes, we are aware of the problem.

I need to know, if anyone has been able to get a custom arena to work, after they manually install a terrain.

I tried last night. I downloaded germanyw.res (even though I had the current one from last week's FSO) and I downloaded training.res. I kept getting the error about "Problem occurred while retrieving ahiiterr/[insert number here].res". I'm at work right now, so can't get more details for you at the moment.
Title: Re: Custom Arena Error
Post by: Skuzzy on April 10, 2014, 10:46:34 AM
Did you try a second time, immediately after the error?

When I say "immediately", I am talking about not exiting the game.
Title: Re: Custom Arena Error
Post by: ImADot on April 10, 2014, 11:01:05 AM
It's all a blur, but I'm fairly sure I tried both ways - with and without exiting the game. I'll give it another go tonight.

Post by: ImADot on April 10, 2014, 07:47:11 PM
Tried with the germanyw terrain. Got the resource error and bombed to the main screen. When right back without quitting and the arena said "closed". Tried a second time with the same result again.

Got the custom arena to work on the first try yesterday with no problems detected.  Did I just get lucky or has that been fixed?  Ndisles terrain.
Title: Re: Custom Arena Error

Fixed, and thank you htc.

Uh, we did not do anything.
Title: Re: Custom Arena Error
Post by: FLS on April 28, 2014, 04:03:12 PM
Same here. Made a custom arena, no problems, same settings that failed before.
I was able to enter, fly, leave, and re-enter.  :aok

Maybe something changed on the internet and fixed a timing problem?

We can only speculate, at this point.  Rather bizarre and disturbing.
