Ok, ive read the other threads, and normally i can solve issues like this but this one has me stumped.
for months ive had it working no problem, but there was a windows update 2 days ago and now it simply wont work
EQBCS shows its loaded, shows its connected. but will not communicate between computers.
have closed it all, uninstalled VV/EQBCS and redone it all. rebooted computers multiple times. added a dedicated port in my router.
will post the steps i do atm(and did before no problem)
load VV patcher, check for update on plugins/macro sections. then checkbox for eqbcs checked and click load MQ2 (now eqbcs has NEVER actually opened the window as it did on a friends when i installed on his)
right click the MQ2 icon on taskbar and "start eqbc server (main computer first. in pop up i have main computers IP, and the default port. after fresh install of VV i "installed" eqbc. now i just click start)
after main computer has "started" i load VV patcher on each other computer(3 computers total), check updates then launch, then start eqbc server on each. validate the IP is correct and "start" on the second and 3rd computer.
now i patch eq and load.
in game /bccmd connect ???.???.?.??? 2112
/bccmd /reconnect ???.???.?.??? 2112
now before today i didnt have to do the connect/reconnect each time only the first time after rebooting computers. Before today i would get a Echo: charname has joined. charname,charname2,charname3 are in channel.
and any /bct, /bcga commands worked flawlessly. yesterday and today, it shows im connected. ive even /bccmd quit. then /bccmd connect and shows same
#connecting to ???.???.?.??? 2112
#connected.
and no broadcast commands work at all, not even to accounts on THIS computer
