hi,
i see arena's with users, but after every user the icon "zzz" is shown. this stays the same for every user in every arena. when this is the case, i cannot play a system-link game because for example halo 2 does not see the system link games.

sometimes however i see the blocks that indicate the speed of a user. when this is the case everything is fine. i can play whoohoo!

but unfortunately most of the time the "zzz" icons are shown and i cannot play system link games. i use the latest build and my firewall forwards port 30000 udp just fine to my workstation that hosts xlink kai. in xlink kai config i set the port to 30000 and the deep-port also to 30000. does anyone know how i can get this connection stable?

tia

i didn´t have zzz yesterdaay, but today almost everyone is "zzz". changes on the server perhaps?

don't pay too much attention to zzz, the information provided by the kai engine is known to be unreliable in this respect, it has absolutely no bearing on playing/hosting games.  its just a visual cue to let you know who is running a kai client or not.

example: if we were both running xbmc kai and you could see me in the arena, there will be no zzz icon next to my name.  now, if i were to launch into my syslink game then you might see a zzz next to my name (as xbmc kai is no longer connected, and the way kai engine reports traffic is incorrectly reporting me as idle - although it has no effect on your online gaming experience).

one icon you should watch out for is the hosting icon; players hosting games will have a hosting icon (image of a house) next to them.  which means that once you load up your game and do a search for syslink games you should find them.  occasionally, this doesn't work, one or two reattempts cures it - i put this down to kai network routing issues.
