I have reinstalled my server after it crashed. Now when I want to load it it does this: (video)

Watch it here.

I am using a valid serial (my own one) and I have tried this one:
066900000000000000000000.

They both do the same thing...The hostname is also valid. Please tell me how to fix.

Can someone send me a 0669xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx serial that actually works for him please. I want to test if it might be my computer or the server itself.

You need to use your renegade client serial (the one you use to install your game) and it'll be ok.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Thats a first, for me anyway, lol.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

This happens to me frequently.. i cannot see the screen shot as i am at work and they prohibit most things, so i am assuming it is the same error as i have sometimes.

"failed to create game channel" is often caused by the host name. Change it and it might work.

And everyone else who steals Alex's serial (some people are actually like that, i have 3 of my own so i'm swell Smile

) thank him too.

Alex, i would recommend NOT sharing serials, if you do, NOT publicly, do it in PM or something, they will be able to add more nicks to that serial (each one holds nine i think).

Even with Alex's serial and my own (very legal) serial I keep getting this message. I'm totally desparate. I know my username/password is good as I can login with it in the cliënt.

Any suggestions?

NVM, I just found out that my password was wrong, I was never aware that the password was 8 chars because of de limited register box in renegade.

Mero.. Chill

It's a global serial, Haha.

It's okay... I use a diff serial for our server anyway..

Still, When I say it's global, I'm serious.

Uhh K.

I tried my GAME serial, a made up serial (22 starting with 0669) and Alex's serial. None work. My Nickname and Password ARE correct as I have confirmed, and it says "Logged on OK" as well.

Why can't it create the channel??
