  • Error Loading a door

    From Mega Man@VERT/FILECABI to All on Wed Mar 31 21:33:02 2021
    When trying to run and load Trade Wars game Server, I get the following error

    ERROR -1 (60) connecting to server: twgs.casacam.net

    Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it?

    Thanks
    Richard.

    It means it can't connect to the host twgs.casacam.net.

    Is it up? What TCP port are you attempting to connect to? Is it listening on that port?

    Is it up? What TCP port are you attempting to connect to? Is it
    listening on that port?

    It is up and running on port 2002. It's also an open port. I think it's a timeout problem. Is there a way to get SBBS to wait a little longer to get the connection?
    please try it if you'd like
    twgs.casacam.net:2002
    or

    No, it's just using the standard socket "connect()" function.
