I did, for some reason it overwrote the contents of a folder... anyway, I managed to get everything to work now! What I did was install the CVS from the 30th of December (since the latest, the 31st was corrupt for some reason). I then uninstalled and reinstalled tmw 0.0.8 and everything works fine ...

Okay I downloaded the most updated CVS, and now it won't run at all, it says there is a missing GUICHAN.DLL file. *scratches head* No clue.

Yes I have created an account, but I made up a new one with _M after it anyway just in case. Here's my tmw.ini -

system=
keyboard=DE
language=
core_version=0.0.8
host=animesites.de
port=6901
screen=2.000000
sound=0
chatlog=chatlog.txt
stretch=0
remember=1.000000
username=eternalrabies_M
version=0 ...

What happens now is this -
everything works fine, I type in my login info, hit OK... wait about 2 minutes and then finally a message pops up that says "could not connect to server". I tried switching "URL=" between the two URL's suggested in the other thread, but that didn't help at all. Ideas?

I extracted that as you said, and overwrote my current TMW files with those... still same problem. I type in my login info, and hit ENTER or press "OK" with the mouse, and the cursor and game both freeze.

Yes, I extracted it with winRAR. Now it's a file called "tmw-12282004.tar[1]" What do I do with it?

Hm, well I downloaded that file you said fixed everything, but what do I do with it?

Just downloaded the newest release, and I've encountered a problem. When I start the game up, the cursor doesn't move when I move my mouse. I am still able to type into the login text fields and switch between them using tab, but if I enter my login info and hit the enter key, the game freezes ...

Changing stretch mode to 0 seems to have improved the FPS significantly, but it still displays it as being at 4-5. At least it's playable now, though. Thanks

By the way, what is that and why is it NOT set to 0 if it runs faster this way?

Quick question here - is there a way to optimize the game a bit better so that it runs faster? I mean, I don't have the GREATEST computer ever, but Graal Online, another 2D game, very graphically intense with many dozens of players, runs flawlessly on my computer. However, I found this very basic ...

I'm thinking you just need to get the word out about the game more, because I guarantee there are PLENTY of artists and people in general who would love to contribute, if you gather enough they can probably produce SOMETHING.
