Keep getting 1017

Unfortunately I don't know what I can post to help, but I keep getting 1017s when I try and connect. =(

I have a really new computer, Quad Core processor with Windows 7 64 bit. Are there any issues with either of those? My internet connection is wireless but usually solid.
 
I have no problems running the game in Win7 64 (Ultimate and Home). Albeit these are both dual core machines.

I also have it working on a quad core, but that has Ubuntu 64 installed.
 
I think 1017's are usually timing problems. Either the server is too busy or your connection is getting a lot of lag.

What times have you tried connecting? Have you managed to connect ok and play at all?

I tried connecting at like 8:00 CST and like 10:00 Friday. There were around 450 people or so.

My connection is a wireless connection. It cuts in and out at moments. though it's usually pretty stable and fine. Could that be it?
 
I would try to use a direct wired connection (if possible). If that clears up the problem, then you've probably found the culprit. Having a wireless connection that cuts in and out can't be good for anything but inciting rage... you may want to try to fix that.

You could try to moving your laptop closer to the router/access point, making sure you don't have any microwaves, walls with steel supports, or wireless telephones (that operate on a 2.4 GHz frequency) in between the laptop and the router. Some place where you have a strong, clear signal.

Also, as crunchy mentioned, have you been able to connect at all, or do you get this error 100% of the time?

100% of the time.

I'm working on fixing my wireless to a more stable version (right now I"m using an adapter; I'm going to hopefully switch to wiring up to a router that's wirelessly connected to the network as a repeater. Unfortunately pure wired is infeasible). I'll see if I can connect Sunday and if not hopefully that will fix it, thanks!
 
If it's all all possible to run a temporary line to your computer, even if you have to move the computer, I'd recommend it as a test.

That way, if you stop getting 1017's, you know the wireless is the problem. If you still continue to get 1017's, then you know it's not the wireless part of the set up. Could still be the router, or tons of spyware.
 
Still having issues. Tried logging in this morning with my new setup (I have a router running as a repeater, and my computer is wired into it. It's basically full uptime now).

I doubt it's spyware (I Just built this computer a week and a half ago), but I'll run a check.
 
I'm just guessing here, but could this be a firewall issue? It sounds like you may not have access to the physical router. I know at my school, the ports SoD uses are locked down - unfortunately, I don't remember what the error was, it may have been this one.
 
Well, I can access the physical router if needed, it's in my house. What ports need to be open?

I'll check my firewall. I have the Windows firewall on, so I'll try and check that. Thanks!
 
I disabled the firewall. Doesn't work.

What ports need to be open for the game to work? I can access my router...
 
As in that thread, it could be some virus scanner you've got running. Norton anti-virus does a packet scan. If you're using it, disable it.
 
I use AVG virus scanner, and I disabled it. Still no luck. I also don't have any ports blocked...

My computer is:
Intel i5 Quad Core Processor
ATI Radeon HD 4800
4 GB DDR
Asus P7P55D Motherboard

It still doesn't seem like anything obvious...any help?

Do you have your router set to redirect ports? Maybe something else is set to go through one of the required ports? Anyone else running on your connection? What happens if you do a ping to shardsofdalaya.com?

Can you connect to the web server using IE?

I was gonna suggest trying to telnet in using those ports to see if it works at all, but telnet doesn't use udp afaik. Not sure of a program that would.

So I found out that the router I'm on (I'm atm running a wireless G connection, and I have a router that repeats the signal via ethernet to my computer) had a port forwarded (8001) to a web server my friend is using for a part-time job. I got him to move it (forwarded to port 7001), but I've had no luck.

I pinged shardsofdalaya.com. It had a 291-347 ms connetion time, though it connected fine. A second time it was 54-62 ms on 4 packets.

Does that help?

If you're getting intermittently high pings and low pings, that might cause it. Not sure htough.

So you never actually managed to see if it works without any wireless connections at all? Are you on your neighbor's wireless or something? If you're sharing a busy internet connection, that would definitely do it.

It's not possible. I'm in a house with four other guys, and we have a router downstairs that provides wireless (G router). It's not possible for me to wire my comptuer to the modem: it's too far, and it's not possible to move the router (that's the only working cable jack in the house). Even if I had a cable long enough, it wouldn't work long-term.

Maybe I just can't play, oh well. =(

You've got 5 guys sharing one wireless router?

I think we've stumbled across the problem.

But you ignored my suggestion. I wasn't suggesting running a cable to the router LONG TERM. I was saying run it to the router long enough test if you can connect without 1017's.

You can get a cat5 cable and put connectors on it pretty cheaply. I had to do it when I ran cat5 through my house. (mythtv box in the living room, 2 computers in the basement, router and computer in a converted bedroom.) It's not rocket science, and I'm *not* handy with tools.

Home Depot sells the cable really cheaply, per foot, and the connectors too. $5 for the crimping tool.

But if you really don't want to run a long cable to the router from your computer, MOVE YOUR COMPUTER!

I hadn't even suggested that you have to keep your computer wherever it is to test it. The important thing to test is that it's not the WIRELESS that causing the problem.

And no, no one here wants to read your logs to figure out your problem if you can't meet us halfway.
