WarMUX

This is a continuation of a question I asked on the chat room earlier, I didn't have much time to wait, so I was a bit impatient (sorry for that). Anyway, I left my computer for a while, (6hrs or so) and when I got back yekcim had started the help process, but recieving no reply, he eventually left. (thats all right of course, I woulda done it too, just explaining what happened). So I'm posting this in a new thread:

Every day me and a guy from Germany play a network game of Wormux at 3:00 PM my time. However, slightly before 2:00, my internet server had problems, going on and off at random times. Now, somehow or other, (I haven't touched my router or done any other network changes) Wormux does not show the public servers anymore. Life will be so boring and miserable if I can't get this fixed! I the last two versions of wormux (the 0.8.5 is installed, 0.9.0 is the standalone .sh file) neither of which works. The terminal output of running 'wormux' under both directories of the apps shows the following:

o Reading the default config file
o Reading the personal config file
o Bind text domain to: /usr/share/locale
o Codeset: UTF-8
o Text domain: wormux
=== Wormux version 0.8.5

I have a feeling that the last two lines are the error, how should I troubleshoot this? Everything works normal now with the internet, the network and such things, all except Wormux network play.

So, what should I do? Please respond soon, the other player is waiting on me.


Thanks!

I knew you were gonna say that yekcim... I do have 0.9.0 but it wasn't working either. When we tried 0.9.0, (the buddy and I) we found the network play very slow and with a distinct lag. And that was very recently, like two weeks ago. If we moved, the character would move about 5 seconds later. very confusing. I'm not complaining about it, but if 0.8.5 works, you know, why not use it?
Anyhow, I'll give it another try... And no worries about the network problem, as it appears to have fixed itself. This morning, it just worked. (yes I had tried rebooting before, but it didn't work then).

So, problem solved,

thanks yekcim!

P.S. Wormux is my favorite game. Ever.
