Infinity 2.1 Conntection failed

Support

Hello there everybody i am trying to play infinity combat prototype 2.1 but i get a connection fail. Please help :frowning:

2

The Infinity Combat Prototype is officially shut down and there are no servers still running that I know of.

If you have the full 2.1 install file it should come with a server program that you can run and connect to locally using localhost (127.0.0.1) as the IP address. That will be single player and there wonā€™t be much to do.

Iā€™m somewhat surprised thereā€™s copies of that still lurking around. I lost my copy ages ago :frowning:

A real shame though, I missed getting the guys into it for a training session every once in a while.

I think its a good think that it died. The last thing we needed was a bunch of people getting their hands on the ICP installer, getting mad that it didnā€™t work and then badmouthing the developers and jeopardizing the kickstarter campaign.

I still have a copy sitting on my flash-driveā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

Doesnā€™t stop me wanting to relive the nostalgia of the ICP.

Well, as long as people keep the installer to themselves and understand that spreading it around wouldnā€™t do any goodā€¦ I donā€™t see a problem.

8

Would ā€œkeeping it to themselvesā€ include sharing it with other people that want to reminisce for ā€œold timeā€™s sakeā€? :wink:

9

The only problem would come if people started sharing it as a torrent or on public upload sites, resulting in random people downloading it and not having the whole backstory to explain why it (most likely) doesnā€™t work.

10

Speaking of sharing it to other people that want to reminisce, I just realized that my new laptop might actually be able to run it (win7 decided to kill my old laptopā€™s soundcard causing a OpenAL-related crash on loading screen). Care to send it to me?

11

Hmmā€¦ its been a while since Iā€™ve opened this, the proto works, but I canā€™t get the server to run. Missing files. Oh well.

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimmingā€¦

12

Any ways I can get the server? Since I only have a client myself

13

As long it is the latest client the server should be inside the same directory

14

It all just isnā€™t working. I finally managed to find the server and connect, but got open gl errors on client. Is it tested on newish hardware? (stupid question and offtopic, yes)

15

As far as I can tell, thereā€™s a point where things just arenā€™t compatible any more.

16

Newer AMD (ATI) Cards arenā€™t compatible with the ICP

17

Tested, yes. Didnā€™t work on much of it. No plans to update it, what with it having only ever been intended as a quick way to test out some netcode, apparently (by the time I started following Infinity, years and years ago, it had already been officially retired).

18

Okay then, Iā€™ll look for some older hardware (I think I had a working 8800gtx somewhereā€¦)

19

cough if someone would send it to me for nostalgia purposes i would be quite happy.

Im pretty sure this computer can run it, or if not i have a laptop that can.

Well it did work on G80 and made me happy :smile:
I had to find 2.2 patch to get the server, and later this evening I think I can send the whole game (or link to it)
