Pirate Intelligence Network

[Xeridox]

I'm getting this error: "Unable to get operator settings, client will be unable to connect."

Can't log in, it either says Incorrect password or "Unable to process login request" if anything is in the id or password fields.

Pretty sure I followed instructions to the letter. I'm on Windows 7 btw.

@xeridox Sounds like you either didn't update the firefall.ini or didn't start the WebHostManager application or the WebHostManager application couldn't start properly. Don't forget you need to have three console windows open for PIN to work. :wink:

@darkcisum I did update the firefall.ini and started all 3 apps. They look like they're working but then again I don't know what they're supposed to look like if working properly.

This is what I get on the WebHostManager app:

Version 1.1.0 has been released

With this version, you can more easily explore all the available zones, simply by selecting a different character with a matching name in the character selection.

@xeridox I think, right now the only way to get PIN to work is with Steam authentication, meaning, you need to start Firefall through Steam itself.
I'll look into whether there are other ways to handle this.

Actually, it seems to be working fine on my end without Steam login as well.
Are you sure, you've entered a random email address and password (e.g. [email protected] and 12345)?

I've tried both with Steam and without. Anything in the user/pass fields yields a "Unable to issue login request" error. It seems there is some communication not happening between the WebHostManager and Firefall. The other error I get ("Unable to get operator settings, client will be unable to connect.") appears immediately after Firefall loads the login screen. It's a big red message box inside FIrefall, not a standard windows message box. I don't know if that helps or not lol just thought I would say. I thought maybe it was windows firewall stopping it, so I added an exception and still no change.

Found the log file and something interesting in it. Evidently my comp doesn't understand what localhost is, of all things.

I also tried pinging localhost...
"Ping localhost" returns "ping request could not find host, please check the name and try again."

Ok I found the problem. I had localhost mapped to 0.0.0.0 in my hosts file. Mapped it to 127.0.0.1 and now it works.

@xeridox Glad to hear that you managed to figure it out. Will add a troubleshooting section somewhere, with a hint regarding localhost. :+1:
