I can't Play it. Someone help me please!!

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 4:19 pm

For some reason there is no play button or anything on the launch window when it comes up. I've redownloaded the game 3 times and still don't know what the problem is. Can someone help me?

P.s. I though my DirectX might be a problem, but I updated it to Directx 9.0c and it still doesn't show a play button.

how long of a chance do you give it? The start button is the last one on the right. you might have updates and stuff that will make it take a little while. Give it a like 5 minutes once.

well then, I'm out... someone smarter than me (which won't be very tough) will be along to help you I imagine.
Sorry I couldn't help you.

most probably this is caused because your unable to get the connection to silkroad. i'm pretty sure the start button appear if it detects if you have the latest version, and somehow you are unable to let silkroad recive this information. You use a firewall or router?

check this thread too:

i thought about getting on the silkroad website but for some reason my computer will never let me. it won't load or anything. i even had to have a friend register for me. i wanna be able to play but for the past 3 weeks i havent been able to find someone to help me

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:11 pm

Ah yes, this is caused because your connection isn't allowing Silkroad.
did you try what was mentioned in the thread I posted?

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:27 pm

no, i can't go to that thread. i can't go to any part of the silkroad website. something wont allow any of their pages to load. -sorry if it takes a bit to answer- a tree just about fell on our house. like 2 inches away, so ive been helping clean up-

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:28 pm

I didn't think about that.

I will just copy and paste from the thread:

1. Go to C/Windows/system32/drivers/etc
2. Open hosts with notepad
3. Add 222.111.150.111 gwgt1.joymax.com under 127.0.0.1 localhost
4. Save and open silkroad.

okay i did that. but it didnt change anything. i know i did it right also.

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:51 pm

let's do a tracert to troy server, troy's server ip is 222.111.150.120

open the command promt and type: tracert 222.111.150.120

The problem you experience might be caused because the ISP you use.

after the tracert you should be able to copy and paste the information.

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 6:17 pm

explain what you mean by command prompt. i have to go to town. when i get back i'll try everything you want me to. thank you for being willing to help

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 6:20 pm

Press the start button, then choose Run.
In the field type cmd and then press Enter, that's the command promt.

k ive got the same problem and i followed all that myong has said and i get a timeout on lines 23-30 then the trace is complete

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 8:23 pm

Where do you guys live? And what ISP do you use? the problem seems simple..you're not able to get a connection to joymax. Anyone of you use a router?

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 9:33 pm

Missouri. I use a local ISP. no router. I'll try what you said right now. i've been gone

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 9:36 pm

i tried the tracert and it times out every single time

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:28 pm

it's most probably your ISP. Call them and explain the problem. Maybe they have a web page?

And..how were you able to install the game if you can access the web page?

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:30 pm

i found it on a different site. i thought that maybe the first time, that maybe the download was messed up. so everytime ive downloaded its been from a different source. the latest was http://www.gamershell.com

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:31 pm

and i wont call the isp because the people there are dumb. they couldnt even help us before when our dsl went out. we had to go up to the box down the road and do it ourselves.

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:33 pm

Well, you aren't even able to show their web page. You need to contact the ISP you are using. Telephone's always best, because they have to answer directly.

Maybe there is a setting the ISP can do, or you have to change ISP.
i think that if the servers and Joymax was located in USA you would be able to play, but because they are in Korea you aren't.

EDIT: well, if they are dumb. then i guess changing ISP is your only choose. But before doing that, you know anyone with another ISP, can they play the game?

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:38 pm

not really. we cant change isp because the only ones that will reach out here are like aol and stuff, and not only would it be dial-up, but they would charge an extra long distance charge. our dsl comes from the local phone company. there's gotta be something i can do. i just wish i could get on their website myself and check stuff out. or at least try downloading it from the main site. think i should try to use firefox to get on the website instead of IE? if so i can d/l it in no time i'm sure.

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:39 pm

you can try find a korean proxy and see if it work, but I doubt it.

EDIT: korean proxys here:

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:41 pm

how would i go about doing that?

EDIT: oh thanks nevermind to that ^^^ then

stefybau09 · Post by **stefybau09** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:43 pm

where do i put the proxy number?

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:43 pm

hm..go to Internet explorer, then choose Tools, and settings.
And then connections and then settings. there you can type proxy.

I'm not sure about the correct translation, I use a Swedish version of Explorer.

ex: 211.225.214.124:50050

ADRESS:PORT

Myong · Post by **Myong** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:53 pm

lol, but there are many other games you can play. which are made in korea too.

Try KAL Online, it's supposed to be very similar as Silkroad Online.
