What is "Connection Refused" / "Duplicate ID"

Slide · January 8th, 2004, 05:09 AM

If you get a line a bit like:

New client connection refused: Duplicate ID (a33f62d8).

You probably have copied your Doomsday installation to/from other computers on your local network or copied them to a friends computer for Internet gaming?

The problem is caused by the client ID number being stored in the file Run\jDoom\Client.ID. Delete it (on the clients) and the error will disappear as Doomsday automatically recreates the file on startup.
