Multiplayer Error

[thunderwolf]

Hi, in TS12, a group of us are trying to get a multiplay session together, but some of us, including myself, keep getting the error:
"The selected session cannot currently be used for multiplayer. The session, the route, or some dependencies are not built-in and are not available on the Download Station," when we try to join some other's sessions.

Those of us with this problem are able to join some of the group's sessions, and not others, while the same applies when some try to join our sessions, and we've no idea what's causing it.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

That basically means that some of the content (either the route, the session, or one or more of it's dependencies) are not either built-in to Trainz or are not on the Download Station.

This is usually the case if payware assets have been used.

The only way of checking is to check in Content Manager to see what dependencies it requires - any that have a ? followed by a KUID number are the problem assets, as all assets used in a multiplayer route (including the route and session itself) must either be built-in content, or content that is available on the Download Station.

Hi Shane,

With regard to this matter (me and thunderwolf) have been trying on different Routes; No dependencies are missing at all, It might be an un-known bug since we can start a server with no errors but not actually join eachothers server (we done it vice verca on different Routes).

Thanks,
Sebastian

The other thing to check is that all users involved have the same build number.

Hi Shane,

Yeah I just patched my Trainz Simulator 12, without restarting my computer.. I think I should? :hehe:
*Today*

 

[shaneturner12]

Is that the same with thunderwolf's system? Multiplayer will not work if users have different build numbers.

Shane

 

[youngabizzle]

My current build is the latest and the build on *both* computers.

 

[shaneturner12]

Is the route and session involved either on the DLS or built-in to Trainz?

Also need to check this with the dependencies - even if they appear on both systems, only content that has been downloaded from the DLS or is built-in content can be used in multiplayer (this basically means no content from third-party sites)

Shane

 

[youngabizzle]

Built in and Content Mngr, not third party

 

[shaneturner12]

OK - something is not right there.

Might be worth restarting your system and seeing if that helps.

Shane

 

[youngabizzle]

Nope restarted still the same problem. If you want you can TeamViewer me?

 

[shaneturner12]

Possible - be aware that I do not have TS12 though, so I cannot check anything at my end.

Shane

EDIT: TeamViewer ready.

[shaneturner12]

OK - what type of connection is yours requiring?

Shane

 

[youngabizzle]

Remote Control

Sorry, had to go AFK for a bit.

Thanks for the assistance, Shane, and abizzle for filling in more details.

Just to add, one of the routes we encountered this problem with is called "Multiplayer on the Mojave - Re-Born v1" and I think it is from DLS. And before I'd even heard of this, I discovered the route after finding a session in progress the other day. This made that in-program download list popup, saying I needed all the items the host of that session had, and so I let it all download. And it all worked fine, some hours ago.

So it seems that the download isn't available anymore maybe? Could someone've made a change to what there is of it on DLS?

 

[ct_krogen]

the route & session must be on the d/l station

 

[shaneturner12]

OK - at the moment, I am directly assisting youngabizzle via Teamviewer.

ct_krogen:

The route is built in, the session is on the DLS.
