Hey, you made it here!

Huh, only one .exe instance can open the listening port (which I assume is the default 80) so it doesn't make sense that a second .exe could do much except get an error message when it tries to init.

All your tests so far are local, on the same computer, correct? Not sure why this wouldn't work.

well, I fixed my problem but no remote connections are having the same issue I was having. for me it was my adblocker, disabling/whitelisting my adblocker does no good. I had to outright run taskkill on the adblocker. now I can play but others can't.. because I pay for my ad blocker i feel like they are kind of obligated to fix things so i wrote them about it we'll see what they say BTW seth you were like a huge childhood hero of mine. I still play LORD every day and I run a BBS no one calls lol It all started with you!
I wish I still had my old registration letters just for the memories. I have the codes but not the letters you sent. It was a HUGE thrill that THE Seth Avle had written to ME! sure I paid him money to do it but whatever lol

Good - progress at least. Probably now it comes down to needing to setup your router to forward port 80 to your server computer's local IP address.

Note: To properly test it, you have to connect from outside your own network, for example, by using a VPN or another computer using a 4g connection and not local wifi.

My pleasure and the money was appreciated!
