When i try to sign in to windows live messenger it won't sign in, i get this error:

[attachment=352:error.png]

When i click "Troubleshoot", it goes through all the tests and i pass on everyone of them (there is no tick beside "Wireless" tho)

[attachment=353:error.png]

I could sign in last night (after trying 3 times) i can sign in perfectly to msn on my xbox 360. I checked the server status and it is up and running fine. This seems to be happening when i got my new wireless router, with my old netgear one windows live messenger worked fine.

Make sure that the wireless router firewall is not blocking any ports that make MSN connection successful.

I've checked and my firewall isn't blocking it.

Miranda and trillian are also good alternatives.

Just wait a little bit. I've had something like this before.

Also, pidgin/trillian/miranda are not copy-cats. I find them hundred times better than the bloated piece of adware WLM could ever be. And tons more customizable too. And lets not forget they're multimessengers so you can use more than MSN with them.
Rather than having seperate windows for AIM/IRQ/MSN/Yahoo you could have it all in one.

I tried to use Trillian a while back, but it wouldn't accept my IRQ address. Seeing as I only ever use MSN (apart from IRQ), it seemed pointless to have it.
But I agree, it's a commercial program from a big, rich company. Why the HELL do they need adverts all over it? The amount of people who have smiley bars or some kind of adware installed because of the stupid thing is unbelievable.
Not to mention I get errors like that all the time, that are seemingly random.

    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
