hmm this also happened to someone else, he eventually quit i think o.o

[mage250]

try reinstalling game...

and download the path from the launcher (somewhere in the manual patch does work in my computer when I reinstall the game after reformatting my computer) so maybe that is ur problem here...

Am I right that after you log in, you can't even see the server selection screen? It means you can connect to Outspark, but not to the company that actually hosts the game servers.

One easy way to test this theory is to try and surf to the game server with your web browser. Of course, you won't actually be able to log in to the game like that, but the response you get might indicate what kind of problem you are having exactly:

- if your browser keeps on trying to connect but nothing happens and eventually times out, it's most likely a network problem
- if you get an error message, there's a big chance something is actively blocking you (like a proxy server for instance)
- if your browser shows some random characters (internet explorer) or gives a notice it wants to open a bitstream (firefox, just cancel this notification), it means you can actually connect to the server, so that would puzzle me ;) maybe, in that case, it could be that your connection is too slow and things are timeing out.

So to test this, simply click here: http://207.211.84.14:9010 .

yah...you're absolutely rightz!!^^ haha...
can i ask how to surf to the game server with my web browser?
sorry, im so silly =.=
oopsz, i click that link, and only this appears "_
" ...
hmmm....is this the random characters you mean?
thanks thanks super for your help...^^

If you are new to the game and from a foreign country, then you are most likely ip banned and need to play on the Fiesta servers closer to your region.

If this is not the case and you have been registered for a while, then the issue is your security settings. Either your antivirus or your firewall is blocking your connection to the game's servers. Reconfigurate your security settings.

opz:P im not new to the game^^ hehe...i got a lvl49 cleric :)
if i download the fiesta philippines, will i able to play my lvl49 cleric again?O.O
hmmm...just wondering..haha

anyways, i tried close my antivirus and firewall, but still, can't connect to the servers...T.T

Yes, this is exactly what you would see if you do that in Internet Explorer. We know two things now:

a) your connection to Outspark is ok, as otherwise you woudn't be able to log in using the launcher
b) you can make a connection to the game server, otherwise you wouldn't have seen those characters.

Maybe this connection isn't fast enough or is unreliable? You could test this by opening a command prompt window and executing the "ping" command. The command prompt can be started somewhere in the Start menu or by typing"cmd" when you select "Run..." in it. Once you have the command prompt window (it's a black window, with a logo that says "c:\") you type:

C:\whatever\yourname>ping 207.211.84.14

what would be interesting is to see how many packets get lost and what the "time" is on average, you'd see that when the command has finished. Is the time very high or if it varies a lot, that might be your problem.

[I hope this is all a bit clear, it's rather hard to explain in detail cause these things differ between different versions and languages of Windows]

Now I discovered that after log-in and before you make the actual connection to the game server, Fiesta makes a connection to some Korean servers (no idea why, maybe OnsOnSoft wants to keep statistics?) and it could be that something goes wrong there too. Now before we could try and figure out whether that phase is the culprit, would it be possible to give us your version of windows, cause then I can adapt my explanation to that version. There are some differences between Vista and XP for instance.

hellow~~^^
yup, i understand all :D you are very good at explaining ~^^ its all detailed :D really appreciate it so much~~^^

uhm, i think i will just copy all the details
here it is:

Ping statistics for 207.211.84.14:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 255ms, Maximum = 632ms, Average = 368ms

My windows is XP :) hihi...

thank you thank you soooo much~~^^

Thanks:) Those times are quite high, but as no packets really go lost, I doubt this is the problem. So the possibility that your internet connection to the game server is too slow/unreliable can be left open, but is unlikely. Might be better to check some other things first.


My windows is XP :) hihi...

That's good news :) For some reason in Vista the "telnet" program isn't installed by default, and we gonna need this little tool for some more testing. XP has the telnet program installed by default though :)

Ok, remember that command prompt window from my last post? We gonna have to visit that again. However this time we're going to use telnet to try and make a connection to a couple of systems.

Ok, first let's have a look at what happens if you can't make a connection:
C:\whatever\yourname>telnet somedummyserver 80

Because "somedummyserver" obviously doesn't exist, after a while telnet will stop and complain that the connection failed.

Secondly, let's try a connection that will succeed for sure:
C:\whatever\yourname>telnet www.google.com 80

It should immediately make a connection to google :D if you now write "hallo" or something, google will tell you in a lot of words that it doesn't understand you and the connection will be closed :)

Now, in my first post we tried to make a connection to the game server using a browser. We could do the same thing in telnet:

C:\whatever\yourname>telnet 207.211.84.14 9010

This should work (like the google example). If you keep on writing now, eventually, the server will break the connection, but the same will be achieved by simply closing the command prompt window.

Let's try to make a connection, not to the server selection screen, but to Teva itself. Coincidently, it's on the same server but on a different port:

C:\whatever\yourname>telnet 207.211.84.14 9110

Hi Teva :)

In my previous post, I mentioned some Korean servers. You can telnet to them like this:

C:\whatever\yourname>telnet 211.43.208.219 9110
C:\whatever\yourname>telnet 211.115.86.66 2424

If all this works, we can assume there isn't anything blocking you.

haha...thank you so much for your help, i found these result after trying the telnet,

same as you said, we got the same result :P

i tried writing "hehehe" and there's a lot of words come out and suddenly at the end, it says "Connection to host lost." :D


C:\whatever\yourname>telnet 207.211.84.14 9010

This should work (like the google example). If you keep on writing now, eventually, the server will break the connection, but the same will be achieved by simply closing the command prompt window.


in here, it first show "D" and a smiley face..:P hehehe...



C:\whatever\yourname>telnet 207.211.84.14 9110

Hi Teva :)


haha...in this connection, there are random characters show up :)

Hi! Very happy to hear you can log in again :) I assume either your Fiesta client or x-trap program got corrupted and wasn't able to properly talk with one of the servers... but well it's fixed now and that's the most important :D

Feel free to contact me in game, my name is Saim (or alternatively Seim if I'm on my alt). It'll be my pleasure meeting you in game ^^
