Gtk 2.1.8 i go to start a new game and it tries to log into server and gets rejected or says invalid username
i run vista
According to this freeciv doesn't like numerical usernames, it likes a letter as the first character from my testing.
Freeciv usually gets your username from the (operating system) name of the user than runs the program. You can change it in your operating system or by running
- civclient -n newname
in a batch file / command line
Or alternatively run the civserver separately first then run civclient and connect to network game, you can change your login name before you connect to your local area network game.
