[ISboxer] Anarchy Online Trouble Logging In

[Thorsbrew]

Hi all. I posted this over on isboxer.com ( http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.p...p=44767#p44767 ) and thought I'd try here as well. I'd really like to get this figured out before my trial expires. I'll go ahead and copy paste what I've learned so far over there.

Thorsboxing: Hello. I just got the trial and have been trying to get this to work with Anarchy Online. I followed the videos and got it set up. I got it launching (albeit not very well). However at the login screen when I try to put in my password it won't log me in. When I launch the game without letting isboxer launch it it logs in fine.

I've tried everything I can think of. Tried disabling all firewalls. I did try running isboxer with this game many moons ago and I did eventually get it working. And it didn't have this particular log in issue. I was really hoping to get this going.

Any thoughts? Thank you!

bob: Have you disabled Key Maps (SHIFT+ALT+M or the left toggle overlay button) before typing in your password?

Thorsboxing: Yep tried without that. I use ctrl+v anyway. But typing it in doesn't work either.

Thorsboxing: No idea if this is at all relevant but I vaguely remember that when I tried this years ago it launched the license agreement/patch window that always comes up for this game. Now in ISboxer I see 2 options for "default profile" and "no patch". When I use no patch it works and opens the game window/character selection screen and bypassing that first window but I can't log in as I said. When I use default it opens the eula/patch window but when I click accept on the window it comes up with an error R6031 "Attempt to initialize the CRT more than once. This indicates a bug in your application.

Oh I should probably make clear that in this game there are 2 windows, or 3..sort of...for logging in. First is the EULA agreement that you click accept to then the window for settings and the play button that takes you into the character selection screen (which ISboxer bypasses these 2 steps if that option is selected), and then finally the character selection screen where you choose a visual of your character and actually log into the game. AO didn't used to have this third visual character selection screen and probably didn't when I last tried.

I also see a parameters field. Not sure what I can do with that.

PS: Learned something else. Trying and trying again I got it to launch the game via the "default" rather than the "no patch" option using a different exe I found and it launched. It said something about either no cache, or using cache, or something with the cache and it succeeded in opening the window and allowing me to log in. Of course this was only through innerspace>game>"game default profile" and not isboxer suite. So none of my characters and character settings were actually loaded, it was just the game itself. When I tried to repeat the exact some procedure multiple times it's giving me the same error as before. Something to do with cache?

Seeing as I had this working years ago I would have hoped to have the same now. I was really looking forward to coming back to this nostalgic game of mine in multiboxing force.


Thank you for reading and any help I can get.

Edit: I think i've got it narrowed down to the game not liking it to log in when it bypasses the eula/patcher. i manged to find another download exe via the front page isboxer.com rather than the my account page. It did install albeit with more errors. So when i launch through inner space with no patcher selected and without loading a character set it does the same thing. But when i use the "default profile" option it does let me log in. However when i use the default profile option in the quick setup wizard to make my character set and try to now launch the game via the character set from inner space it still bypasses the launcher (even though i selected default profile during quick setup wizard) and thus doesnt allow me to log in.

Edit 2: I also can't install isboxer via the normal downloaded Lavish.ISBoxerBundle .exe because i get an error "Download Failed: SendRequest Error". I used the separate Lavish.InnerSpace and Lavish.ISBoxerSuite.Current .exe's that were instructed on this page http://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8949
So if that can help make sense of this i'm not sure, but just putting it out there.

Edit, yet again: I somehow managed to figure it out and got it to launch through the "default profile/eula/patcher" window when launching through character sets. I accomplished this by setting some combination of window layout options (got me why this would allow this to work). When it worked i didnt have my team set up and so i went back to try it again and it gave me that R6031 error again. After trying and trying and that error finally went away. but when i went back to try and replicate what id done i couldnt for the life of me remember the window layout settings i used to make it work the first time. Man if i was only logging each and every thing i tried..... If anyone could figure that part out id be most grateful.
