FreeOrion

Hy Folks,

I am new here.
Yesterday I download the game and start the game.
But after choose the single player game, and enter my settings the game didn't continue. A window says : Server connect timeout (or something like this). A DOS window print this:
ClientNetworkCore::ConnectToInernetServer: ... "NET2: can't open a socket"
I download this version FreeOrion-0.3.1-RC6 and use WinXP.

Why does the game need the internet?
I go over a proxy server. Is this the problem?

Thanks a lot
Tukuan

The game doesn't actually access the internet for a single-player game, but it uses the same networking mechanism to connect to a local server process running on the same machine. Many firewalls get confused about this, so you might need to adjust your configuration if you're using one.
