hi, i've been having initialization errors on the s3-gcsim repack. I have gotten it to work before with no problems, but with some games it has an initialization error. I have a crossover cable. IT works sometimes, and sometimes not. Why?!
I'm having the same problem... I didn't have any problems with the repack gcsim before but when i changed some things it didn't work anymore.. =( Possible causes for it can be: -I moved my PC components in another case... -Changed my network configuration (PC-router-cube) to PC-cube via crossover cable... some help plz
StarCube's loader repack doesn't wait for your NIC to reinitialize. When using a crossover cable your NIC reinits when the connection type changes (i.e. 10/100mbit, full/half duplex. The solution is to hook to a router/hub/switch so your NIC never reinits like that. This is what I do for it to work, with cross over it won't.
I am using a crossover cable and have the hit or miss "Initialization Error" issue. In this thread: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/160342 Icemonkey blames the NIC Is it both? I suppose I can get a router to put between the 2 and/or buy a minPCI 2com NIC.
I have been got initialization error less often when i have disabled connection to the internet and disabled firewall and every thing that monitors network activity.
Yes I do the same,disable firewall and I pull my wireless card. Sometimes I get up in running with 1 or 2 tries, sometimes 3, 4 ,or 5
Well Fry's had a sale on ethernet switchs for $10. Ditched the Xover cables and put the switch between my laptop and the cube. NO INITIALIZATION ERRORS!!!! Thanks YM2151! Now to solve the lock up issue. I have tried bringing max speed down, running at 10 (full and half) and A / B option. Winnie the Pooh still locks up. My 4 yr old is so mad at me right now
