Can't open tables

Post by Michielos »

Hello all,

I have a premium account and would love to open some tables to play this game. How come that nobody is joining? I haven't been able to open a table in months unless I invite someone. What can I do? 1 :)

i use the most open settings and all maps without A and 0 (peaceful mode on).

It is impossible to play this game now for technical reasons. Thank you.

This is what it says also and map pack 1 is disabled by bga

Your game options preferences for Ark Nova are invalid. You should check or reset them

Your game options preferences for Ark Nova are invalid. You should check or reset them.

I have no idea why this would happen. I've used various combinations of settings without issue.

Primarily,

Competitive level "Same map for all players"

peaceful mode "disabled"

map pack 1 "disabled" (we have a choice here. Which is annoying. )

Map pack 2 "Enabled"

Player's map "Random"

Alternative Maps "Enabled" (again, no choice.)

Expansion "Marine Worlds" (Though playing without should not cause any issue.)

If you are playing Solo mode, maps 9 and 10 are disabled, and I think they are disabled in pvp games too if players are using different maps.


I'm not sure why map 9 is disabled.

I have also played with peaceful mode. What do you mean "dealbreaker"?

Are you saying nobody joins the table? I thought you were saying that you're not even able to get the table created in the first place.

it opens and after a while it closes while saying i should check some options. Sometimes it opens for a longer time but nobody joins.
