I know I haven't been around much, but right now I am a tad confused.

I am unable to play in any of the maps as I keep coming up as New........... I have renamed my character and redone my existing one but I am still until to gain access. Is any one able to shed some light on this please?

Many thanks

When you have logged in you see a screen with red lettres. That is where you click on "public games"to play in novaworld.
You also see there "player options". Click on that and choose for "create player". Fill in your name you want to use and click OK. Go back to the homepage and click on public games again.
Now you can play with your name you want too.

thanks for that Geukie. I have tried that and I still can't get into either public or private maps. Very frustrating.

Thanks for your help

Try to empty your cache folder in LW

I have emptied the cache folder and still no good. Is there a setting on the server which is preventing me from joining a map with my profile?

Mrs. Max - there are no server side settings that are keeping you from joining. I remember having this problem a long, LONG time ago and now can't remember how to solve it. Geukie's ideas are good ones.

I seem to remember trying over and over again to get it to let me log in and keep a character, and struggling too. Seems like it had something to do with having the pinger installed, or at least that is what I recall.

I think my solution, ultimately, was to reinstall LW totally and in a new folder location on your hard drive, and that solved it. Wish I had a better solution, but I just can't think of anything else for you to try.

Hi Quick

I don't use a pinger. I will give the reload a go and see what happens.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Hi all

Well it looks as though I am stuck out in the cold. Even with the reload in a completely new folder I still can't get into any of the maps.

Try this -

When you login inside DFLW, there is an option before you go to the public games, but on that same Main Page, called "My Player Options". Click on that and it should tell you the names of the players that you have available to your account. For instance, on mine, I have HmS.Quick. My DFLW character WAS *HmS*Quick, but since they changed things to require a login, it is now my JO name. In that screen, you should be able to enter a new character name, edit your character name, or delete characters tied to your account. The name selected will be what shows up in game when you join a game server.

Report back on your results....
