Windows Vista issues
I installed Windows Vista RTM this afternoon, as an upgrade over a working XP Pro install. It is running in 32 bit mode on a dual Xeon box with 2 Gig RAM and I am logged in with Admin privledges.
RunUO 2.0 RC1 runs up to the point that I log in with the UO client. The server closes and restarts as soon as I enter the user/pass on the client and click the triangle (next) button. Client and Server are running on the same computer. Screen dump prior to the crash... Quote:

My question is does Vista have IPv6 enabled by default? I sure hope not.

Vista does have IPv6 installed by default. I disabled it and tried again... with basicly the same results.

I can just imagine the number of "I can't get my server running" posts increasing once Vista becomes more widely adopted. [/rant] As for your problem David, it still appears that IPv6 is getting into the picture and causing problems. Just out of curiosity, have you completely removed IPv6 from your network configuration? Does Vista let you do that?

After disabling the IPV6 from VISTA, try to disable and enable the connection.
To donīt wast time compiling scripts, try to view if this disappears. I donīt have a Vista to test it now, but if you type ipconfig /all from console, they show if the ipv6 is already "up" or not. |

I found an article on Microsoft' site that discusses how to disable IPv6... http://www.microsoft.com/technet/com...uy/cg0506.mspx
As per that article, I wrote a 0xFF to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents and restarted to computer. Ipconfig now does not mention IPv6 (it did before.) Quote:

Yes, sorry I should have added that last post was with the "IP Helper" service stopped and disabled. That was the only service that looked like it dealt specifically with IPv6.
The description of the service is... Quote:

After further research, I too found a MS knowledgebase article that basically provides a clear explanation of what is happening. It also goes on to say that MS would rather have developers redevelop their applications than to provide a way to remove IPv6 support from Vista. I know this isn't an immediate solution, and I hate to say it, but maybe it's a better idea to try to modify RunUO to work with Vista than it is to try to modify Vista to work with RunUO. I mean, honestly, it might be easier to at least add some functionality to the server that just filters out the IPv6 addresses that are returned by Vista and use the IPv4 address(es). Vista is just going to be getting bigger and XP support is just going to dwindle as time goes on. If the process to remove IPv6 support from Vista is going to be difficult, I, for one, don't look forward to the many "How do I get my server to work with Vista?" questions from people who just bought themselves a new Dell or something (because you KNOW Dell is already one of the first on the Vista bandwagon). Sure, this doesn't solve your immediate problem David, but it might cut down on problems (at least for RunUO) in the future. Sorry I couldn't add much more helpful information.

Yep I pretty much came to the same conclusion. Hopefully the Devs are already looking at this, for myself I guess I need to do a hack job on the core, I just really didn't want to do that. I try to keep my development copy of RunUO as "pure" as possible.
I could go back to XP Pro, I did ghost the computer prior to the upgrade... but other than this issue I am liking Vista. I hate to give up on it.

here is also another possible explanation from .NEt lead dev:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...78862&SiteID=1 it is a bug with .NEt 2.0 which will be fixed in later versions.

noobie, the articles you linked are for Windows XP. This is actually an issue with Windows Vista... and I think we've narrowed it down to being a case of Vista's IPv6 functionality causing problems with the RunUO server startup (as that's what all the evidence points to).

Go IPv6 if you're a hacker. As far as I know (and have read), if you hack from and IPv6 connection to IPv4 network, you are completely stealthed.

Well, Im running Vista Enterprise (Final Release Version) from the MS Licencing Site, and I have no issues running/logging into RunUO 2.0.
RunUO is a clean unpack, and the UO Client is Mondain's Legagy patched right up. This is also a clean install of Vista Enterprise (Except Drivers and MSN Messenger). Code:
RunUO - [www.runuo.com] Version 2.0, Build 2357.32527 Core: Running on .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727 Scripts: Compiling C# scripts...done (cached) Scripts: Compiling VB.NET scripts...no files found. Scripts: Verifying...done (2086 items, 497 mobiles) Enter the Ultima Online directory: > Z:\ Regions: Loading...done World: Loading...done (99859 items, 2418 mobiles) (6.41 seconds) This server has no accounts. Do you want to create an administrator account now? (y/n) Username: Admin Password: ********* Account created. Address: 127.0.0.1:2593 Address: fe80::bc02:82c2:56ab:9bea%11:2593 Address: 192.168.7.200:2593 Core: Using standard save strategy World: Saving...done in 0.76 seconds. Client: 192.168.7.200: Connected. [1 Online] Client: 192.168.7.200: Encrypted client detected, disconnecting Client: 192.168.7.200: Disconnected. [0 Online] Client: 192.168.7.200: Connected. [1 Online] Login: 192.168.7.200: Valid credentials for 'Admin' Client: 192.168.7.200: Disconnected. [0 Online] [Admin] Client: 192.168.7.200: Connected. [1 Online] Login: 192.168.7.200: Account 'Admin' at character list Login: 192.168.7.200: New character being created (account=Admin) - Character: asd (serial=0x00000003) - Started: Samurai DE (368, 780, -1) in Malas Client: 192.168.7.200: Disconnected. [0 Online] [Admin] (See the attached picture as proof if you need it). As you can also see, I have not disabled IPv6, as it appears in the Address Listing. What type of Vista are you running, and did you do anything to it (Those that have a clean install)? Oh yeah, Specs. This was an AMD Athlon XP-M 2600+, with 1GB RAM (My Laptop, Yes it runs Vista well!). Last edited by Bmzx007; 11-30-2006 at 08:30 AM. |

Well that's interesting! Hmmm... guess that means that we should wait and see who else has problems in Vista (if any) before jumping to a conclusion.

Huh. I did an upgrade over XP Pro so it is not a "clean" install. I am running Vista Ultimate RTM (release to market) so it should be essentially the same product you are using. The RunUO install was also existing... it is fairly clean as I try to keep only the custom scripts I am working on at the moment installed. The machine is a Dell Precision Workstation, dual 3.0 GHz Xeon with 2 Gig of RAM and a WD Raptor system drive. I don't think lack of power is an issue. I wonder if having multiple versions of Framework loaded is a problem? Did you install Framework 2 on your Vista?

Honestly it looks like it is still a Vista problem. The crash log appears that it is still somehow obtaining an IPv6 IP address. With that, I don't believe that any modification of RunUO would help (unless of course you added IPv6 support, in which I would presume that is probably not an option in this case
 ).I wish I could help you more, but I don't really know much about Vista.

I know this post isn't too constructive, but;
Vista really really does suck balls, as does XP, ME, 98 and 95. I reccommend never running a server application on any platform not designed for serving clients. NT4+ all the way..

Unless im blind im suprise no one has suggested to just try to recompile the core with this simple mod /Network/Listener.cs Line: 92 Code:
Socket s = new Socket( AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp ); |
