i launch the game via steam or shortcut and then *to avoid the issue i change the port in the settings to anything other than 30000, i can then proceed to play or load a single player game. * i can also confirm that NOTHING on my PC is pre using the 30000 port! its been checked 30 times...
My issue is not related to this. As i have mentioned i can confirm the server is not running when i try to load a game. i have confirmed this via task manager and cmd actions.
But you changed the default port 3000 to something else, right ? Are you trying to start a new coop game or to load a saved game into a coop session ? If your answer is "saved game" was this started in coop or singleplayer ? Are you using custom configs ? Scenario ?
Try making a new post here: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/ Make sure to follow the templates and info in the sticky posts on that forum and include as much info as possible and maybe a link back to this post too. Maybe that will give the devs enough info to try to find out what's happening and maybe offer a fix. This is such a weird issue that I've never heard of anyone happening before, so please have patience.
