yeah, that's just a directx install issue, reinstall directx from the link provided earlier and it should be fine.

[raptormark]

i can get on with some and others not?

That Runtime Web Installer thing came up automatically as the upgrade was installing. I clicked OK and it added some new dll files and V3 started first time.

See http://www.rcheliaddict.co.uk/536572-post15.html from smoking tommy. That should sort it.

sorry for giving you a bit of the third degree Mark but the problem with network connectivity issues is that more often than not it's some annoying bit of s/w in our over security concious machines binning good traffic. Phoenix get the blame for connectivity issues no matter what, but usually it's something other than Phoenix causing the problem..... otherwise nobody would be able to connect.
That said you might have some issue but what worries me is three machines all having the same problem....... that tends to indicate something common to them all is stopping the show.

I'd love to get a network sniffer on one of these broken sessions and see what's going on.
I know with my previous router even with open ports nothing flowed, but if I DMZ my machine suddenly it all worked...... that was a router issue for sure. A lot of our cheap routers don't obey network traffic rules very well, or they poorly implement the rules.

Thats why I like to use Billion routers.
Great routers with lots of user manageable facilities.
QOS,
VPN endpoints
Amongst others.
Very reliable too.

I had to create a custom service assigned to my pc's IP in order to get Phoenix up online. Phoenix uses incoming connections on UDP 26500 to 26505 which are usually dropped as they are incoming rather having a source on your internal network.

I hope to be able to try out the v3 tonight

[Bruinbear]

Don't you just luv being a guinea pig ! I guess windows 7 is the real problem ?
I do wish that that would include an un-installer to make it easier to return the the previous version when you have an issue.
Version 3.0 will be good when it works.

Very strange, mine simply will not update. I ran it, pointed it to my installed location (C:\Games\Phoenix RC) and it ran fine, however when I run phoenix nothing has changed. It's the same version number etc.

Reinstalling now.

Except I've lost my f***ing CD! ARrgghhh!!!
