Trying to create a Metaverse Character

from GalCiv2 Forums
Ok, I've been trying for a few days to create a metaverse character. I have patched to 1.2, have a working stardock account and a valid serial number. I put in a name and the serial and it tells me processing data....then sits there and does nothing. Two possibilities come to mind. The metaverse engine is down? broke? Or I have a security feature blocking it from happening. Firewall isn't a problem as it is set correctly. I'm not sure about browser settings however. If anybody has worked through this problem or knows something to try I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Seth Alexander

Turn off your pop-up blocker for galciv2.com, set galciv2.com as a trusted site in your IE security settings. Also, download and install the latest Sun Java ( www.java.com )

Hope that solves your problem.

The eternal 'processing data' issue is due to the user trying to browse the site with either an outdated version of firefox, or Opera. If you are using IE make sure you are allowing cookies and javascript to run normally.

Ok. I've enabled all cookies and all javascript parameters. Still nothing. Just for kicks I tried to update my personal profile. It wouldn't keep me logged in and as the helptip stated, I went to the link and still couldn't stay logged in long enough to change anything.

So now what?

Did you turn off the pop-up blocker?

If you're unable to log in and stay logged in then your browser is definately having an issue. What browser and version are you using? Have you tried IE ? Have you cleared your cache and/or cookies?

 

(The metaverse doesnt use popups, so that shouldnt be an issue)

I use IE 6. I've cleard cookies and reallowed them. I've put galciv2.com to a trusted site. 20 gig cache space only 48% used.

I figure if I can't get it to work, and others seem to be having the same problem, I'll start a site for posting screenshots of scores just for relevance sake.

Not sure what else to do really.

You can register the game with the link at the bottom of this page, or via SDC.
