I keep getting a "loggin in"then it just hangs? and "no response"?? why is that?? so I have never been able to play an online fold it game,,
I'm having the same problem. This is my log, please help! Can't post my log though, because of this:
' Comment contains a URL. Please play Foldit in order to be allowed to post URLs '
But I cannot play it, so I can't post the log.
These things seem to be the error though:
Can't open options file options.txt. (..\..\..\source\src\interactive\application\Application.cc:99)
Can't open theme file theme.txt. (..\..\..\source\src\interactive\application\Application.cc:117)
Can't open options file irc-ignore.txt. (..\..\..\source\src\game\util\IRC.cc:551)
It looks like you have a permissions issue in the Foldit directory. Where do you have the game installed?
On my C disk
Foldit should run on Windows 8 just fine. A couple things to try out:
* Look at the log.txt in the folder where you installed foldit, post it here
* Try checking the "Disable network timeouts" button on the login page
* Make sure the user you are logged in as can write files in the foldit directory
* Check that your firewall isn't blocking foldit communication
