just like the word shidt -
there's nothing stopping anyone from saying shi'ite if they really want to say sheeeeeee'it
COOL SHlT, EH?
fookin' dumb'azz - use larger more expressive words relieving us all from your constant barrage of inappropriate language - you're exactly why the admins NEED a word filter)
but that's just like the game-spy complaint -
if you REALLY want to play a game, it's NOT hard

direct ip for continuing games that crashed direct ip for new games while's it's down and intermittent there's no reason for scrapping a game when there's direct ip if you really really want to play, we do have the direct ip option that works great and goes completely around game-spy And may I ask how you suggest to share the direct IP to connect to when players cant get into the lobby to receive messages and lobby chat?

wow, a real stumper of a question
yim, aol, msn, teamspeak, skype - all the usual things normal people use
which one do you use?
I know you don't like it when non-admins make suggestions to you regarding how we can ALL play better - but....
suggestion: As an admin, try offering positive suggestions and supportive comments to help those in need with their game-play challenges.
set the example - be the example; LEAD by example
Cheers!

I would say have a dedicated IRC channel for when gamespy is down so u can advertise direct IP games. However my c4f isn't workign cause i dont know my password and there is no way to recover password except emailing some eifel guy, and I don't know who he is.

However my c4f isn't workign cause i dont know my password and there is no way to recover password except emailing some eifel guy, and I don't know who he is. Eiffel is the programmer/author of Civ4fans, as well as a member of Civ4players. You can find his email, like another player but using the player search, I'm sure he would be glad to help you. We actually did setup a IRC channel, back when Civ4 came out due to the fact that Gamespy Arcade was not going to support the Civ4 lobby the way that it did for the Civ3 Conquests lobby, but Eiffel came along with C4F and it is a much better solution. But perhaps we should revisit the IRC issue, with GS being so unstable lately. CS

Yes, its very frustrating.
Modify all previous posts and add the word Shlt. Do this for all future posts. Its important that this general label becomes the phonemic awareness in relation to all things gamespy.
Maybe MMV is correct in his assertation that to complain about such things is a simple act of pedestrian ambiguity. I disagree with such thoughts as, when I was a young lad and I had a wise boss, he had said to me on the subject of Customer Service: "When you walk into a resteraunt, you get served crap food and it takes forever to get there, do you walk up to the manager and complain to him about the quality of the service or; do you never go back to that restaraunt again?"
My stock is to let the manager understand what is happening in his establishment as I would rather tell him then my friends or family when asked of my experience there.
We do this here in this thread.
Gamespy is sucking, fix your Shlt gamespy.
Of course, if gamespy doesn't fix thier shlt, I hope enough individual posts combined with the power of phonemic awareness will result in a change of service.

Gayspy is down still? Or just C4f?
Since it is free for the users, is it any wonder it sucks.

C4P has nothing to do with GS and trust me that the GS "they" will never read anyone's complaint here. The "bottom line" is that GS will tell you on the phone or in an email that "they/GS" have nothing to do with the servers for Civ4/BtS and Firaxis/Take2 will tell you they don't have control over it either, "talk to GS" Life along Denial (without the river view)....... Since no one has claimed "ownership" of the servers since Civ4's release (as Firaxis/Take2 and GS point fingers at each other), it's amazing a game can be played at all.

As our #1 contingency plan, if GS goes down at any time, during the CCC or on regular nights, please feel free to use the Civ4players IRC Java app. civ4players.proboards44.com/index.cgi?action=chatIt's simple and just requires you to enter your name, but it will work as a temporary chat replacement to setup your direct IP games.

@ MMV,
Thats more information then I knew before, thanks for that. Also, it appears the problem is related to region, this imo puts the problem directly at GS as it would seem to be a server issue, not a connectability issue from BTS.
@ CS,
Thank you for providing a solution! While GS may indeed seriously suck right now, the link to the IRC channel works perfect and should be smooth in running the CCC never mind finding IP games right now.

Seems to me problem have got worse since the last Patch every now and then with out any real warning i get the following problem! 1 I am in a game and all of a sudden it splits putting me in a vote room waiting for everyone else to rejoin 2 I return to lobby to find i cant connect to anything anymore due to my routers crashed which was probably caused by problem 1 3 I reboot router and pc and i get back in game sometimes this nuts can take more than 10 minutes to rectify depending how pissed I am! 4 lobby problem not being able to log in and general gamespy problems re not loggin in with certain accounts user names etc as become so frustrating now that ive ordered wic from play.com 5 Civ Revolutions might look nutse atm but at least its on a reliable game server such as XBOX Live just hope civ 5 is on a simular server hell id even pay a monthly subscription as would most people here and as less kids would be able to play it might make C5 a more enjoyable experiance

Well you either adjust your IE security settings or use FF which has no problem with the java irc room. CS

It would be wise to share the host's IP in the setup room, so that you can resume the game via direct IP when gamesFRY does its usual thing.
