Here's something that has less than a 10% chance of working, but it's easy to try...

Open a DOS window and enter ipconfig /flushdns

Then try the site again.

I doubt it will work, but that's the first step.  I'll PM you with some other ideas in a moment.

Well, I guess most of you know since i posted there I got on through a proxy site. Still not sure the problem, but I'll keep checking the direct route daily(no go this morning still). At least I can get on and post, just due to the proxy I can't load/see the vids or emoticons, but it's better than nothing .

you should still be able to get to the links w/o the proxy tho, right? it just means you can't load embedded vids in the window... most youtube linkage comes with an automatic "link" at the bottom.

Gentlemen,

I need your assistance. I have spent the last week playing a huge mumbler and I just finished with a reasonable score of 455k for the ToE. However, I did not get an option to post this score to the metaverse at the game conclusion. I am pretty sure I started this game as a metaverse game, but then again perhaps I didn't as I am not getting the option to upload this score. This is pretty depressing, to see a week just go poof and disappear. Is there anyway to get this score onto the metaverse? I did a Dec 22 save and can reload the game just prior to conclusion.....

you know, random70 had the exact same problem just the other day, and he too was nearly positive he started it as an MV game. the only idea i can think of is to PM kryo and ask for advice. first, though, perhaps you can be absolutely sure your MV posting works. start a new game with an opponent's relations set to any known factor (friendly, hostile, etc.), then surrender to them. if you get the option to post an MV score, then my inclination would be to think it was user error... if not, then there might be something odd going on.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just reload and do it again. Perhaps I can beat my last score.

Ok, one way to tell is....Only works with completed game i think.

Look in the folder for the version you played in My Games, look in the Metaverse folder.

For my last completed game it was DA so my path is,

C:\Users\BMF\Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar\Metaverse

You should find a XML file in there that corresponds to your game in question. If not than you may well have started a sandbox game. The XML file will have a name that has the date of completion and about 9 other numbers...

20090210123456789.XML, something like that.

It will list the character you played with, the score, the difficaulty level (represented by a number 11 is suicidal), galaxy size and even your serial, so dont post that file in here.

If you don't find that file, provided you have not deleted that folder for whatever reason, then i'd say it was not a MV game. Look then in the SandboxGames folder and see if there is a corresponding XML for that game in there.

This is still not the file i was talking about but should tell you all the same.

it is.  i hope you find solace in the fact that 400+,  within a week,  is very well done

i think we've all done that at least once at some point. there are times when i'm getting into a game and start to wonder, so i surrender to an AI just to make sure i can submit.

Good advice Dystopic, but unfortunately I am playing with surrender turned off. Is there any other way to check mid-game whether you are in sandbox or MV?

Even easier, jut retire, and it will give you the option to post the game if its a MV one.
