Build and Shoot

I have a friend who wants to play this too but we cant get it running.
It seems to install just fine because when you click on a server the browser asks if you want to use AOS,but you get instantly the error message : connection failed
anyone knows whats going on and how to fix this?

This really weird, but I get this sometimes too. It just says connection failed for every server. I just have to try again later and it seems to work.

Every problem, ever, can be solved with patience
-Me, just now

does not work that way- status didnt change in the last 3 days
also i tired to install this on 3 different pc´s with the same OS
(not the same installation cd) in 3 different places . its all the same - installation fine - server connection failed
took even the whole firewall down (opend all ports) -nothing

What version of the game client did you install? Make sure you're trying to connect to servers for that version.

That's weird I have never had a problem like that, unless the server is actually down.
It might be a version conflict, are you sure you installed the right version?

0.75 also i checked simultaneous with my XP if the server is up, they were (im sorry im still playing with my pre-jagex-version [also 0.75] and have therefore no idea how to handle that situation)

is there a debugging console ofr the client?

lol, no apology needed, everything is better jagex-less...

Not that I have the same issue, I want to chime in I am running Win7 64Bit without issue, so don't think that is the relevant factor.

You may want to try reinstalling the Build and Shoot Launcher, and then make sure all MSI Install packages are installed using the launcher. Also make sure your not running any kind of internet security suite or software firewall that may be blocking communication with the network.

Also, sometimes the server list isn't always updated with the proper player count, so when joining games it will error out if the game is full, sometimes I have had it stick the dialog behind the game init window, so it just appears to be stuck.

will try that when i get the next chance
if there are any other sugestions they are stil appreciated

I'd just like to say that I'm running the game fine on w7 x64.

w7 x64, win8 x64 both no problems connecting.
