To Ssnake regarding the "Incident"

[Badger]

I can't you all just how pissed I am as I write this but I will

shed some light on this ridiculous situation.

First off SSnake I was never banned from the TS server...If I was,

how is that I could returnn to said server ,and nor was I ever

given any notice or reason for said ban which it seems could

simply be over ridden by entering the server???That says there was

no ban.The 3rd armor channel simply disapeared without any

reasons given to me soon after an altercation with a fellow 3rd

armor member ON MY OWN TS SERVER not yours.We have been in touch and are still on friendly terms,in fact they have come to visit me to chat on occasion since that altercation.And it was he that brought this tgif incident to my attention

Secondly...The dog of war VU informs me that there was evidence

that shows their licences both server and others(Im not even sure

what that means), were suspended and until that day had no

interruptions of there gaming sessions up UNTIL that day...yet a

fellow user had hosted the server for them immediately after the

failure to launch.

I do have a server exe which was given to me by sean...with the

conditions that 1)We don't use it during TGIF 2)That we not share

it with anyone. I have complied.

Thirdly and I think this is were the problem addressed at me in

this situation extends from ,I have been able for reason

unknown,to run steelbeasts WITHOUT A DONGLE For what might be more

than two years now(not exactly sure the time period) EVEN before

the open beta was announced.What went on behind the sences in you

dev dept up until the beta I can't say.All I know is that I did

not require a dongle nor later on ,Did I even require a update to

run steelbeasts. Up until very recently I've been running 3.25

without an update and when it failed for some unknown reason,I

switched to my server exe to run it.It must be noted that I don't

run SB very often hardly at all since the 3rd armor breakup.But I

do run on occastion on weekends and sometimes during the week.I

did run it this saturday past for a sort time...as I have done

many times in the past without incident.I have discussed this

with the DogofWar VU and they are satisfied that I was NOT the

reason for their concerns. I'll let you and them sort that out.

In fairness,I have had to explore and try thru trial and error how

to configure the web admin...its not user friendly...so god knows

what the codemetre logs are going to tell ya...I have however

figured it out to the point that I can run MY steel beasts game.

Lastly...If I did want to disrupt the steelbeast communities

gaming...Then I could have simply released the exe along with the

ips and instructions that were given too me... to the public...A

"crack" if you will. That certainly could have had an impact on

not only game play ,but your economics as well.I have not ,nor will

I. I expect my name removed from this f-ing mess pronto.

I may be wrong here, however, no one can run SB without the Dongle that I'm aware of for the last 10 years, or since the new version. The old original SB yes, not the new.

Disclaimer: I may be wrong,

As I write this I am alt tabbed in an 2a5a2 DK ....with the dongle sitting infront of me on a shelf...whats that tell ya?

[12Alfa]

Run this for a hour and get back to us.

And can you start SB without it?

All can run for a short time, but it will fail soon, and one can't start SB without it in the USB port.

I'll amend the report.

That tells me you need to wait about two more minutes for the License Failure dialog to pop up.

You may press the "Ignore" button, but this is only allowed twice, and on the third time you will get only "Retry" and "Cancel". It will not allow you to continue at this point, "Retry" freezes the application and brings the dialog up again, and "Cancel" closes it.

You can run sb without dongle if your computer has acces to a computer with a licence via lan (physical or virtual network, like Hamachi).

but you can't run 3.25 version if you have not installed it...

[Volcano]

Yes, I forgot about that... the virtual license will kick in if the dongle is unplugged. Good point.

[12Alfa]

So now the question do you Badger have a virtual license, and is this is what you are talking about?
