Will give it a try. thanks

This didn't work for me. I still get the same web exception when logging in with goarrow on.

<{ GoArrow v2.0.0.0 }> Error [WebException]: Unable to connect to the remote server See errors.txt in the GoArrow folder for more info.

In that error.txt file I see the following repeated over and over and over:

===[ 11/13/2011 3:44:52 PM - GoArrow v2.0.0.0 ]========================
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
at System.Net.WebClient.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request, IAsyncResult result)

[Inner Exception] System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:80

Joe,


The error will be the same as from the 127.0.0.1 and the error of not getting to the acmaps.com ..


The difference would be a much quicker "time-out" with using the 127.0.0.1 .. it may not sit there as long waiting for the web site to answer.

worked for me... you do know you have to do a reboot when you change the HOSTS file right

Good call. It IS actually starting the AC client faster now, since it's not waiting the 3-4 seconds for the web request to time out.

Thank you for this!

Would be nice if GoArrow could be modified to do the network connecting in a separate thread so there is no delay on login.

Running Windows 7 64-bit, I can find my sample hosts file in a winsxs folder but not one that has been edited by the GoArrow install.

Are you saying to add this to the bottom of the sample hosts file (like below), and copy it to the System32 folder?

Correct Chazcon


If the HOSTS does not exist, create one in the proper place and that correction above should speed things up.


If ACMAPS comes back, remove the entry.


Id kinda hope we could get a mirror going (with the owner's permission of course), but that remains to be seen.

My thinking is that there are a few of us that would, if only we could get a blessing. Such is life with copyrighted material.


ACCWiki (internal) is the only access for the moment to the maps.

If I had some cached maps can I put them in a specific folder on my computer and use the 127.0.0.1 option to allow them to show up ingame? or do I need to run a webserver to do that.
