Account used Elsewhere Message

i run about 15 servers off one ip address and a very fast internet pipe.

most of them are steam based, some unreal tournament etc.

A new one i just put up is empires. it works fine, and in fact has about 19 players on as i post this.

but i cant join. it says "account used elsewhere, This steam account has been used to log in from another computer.......etc."

im trying to connect from the same ip address, but all the other steam games work fine and allow me to connect. and the servers are all on a dedicated server box, separate from the one i am trying to play on.

any ideas what to do? or is this just a limitation of the game?

Log off steam, then log in to it again, or if you used it on another computer, log off there.

 

tried it, didnt work.

but....i deleting clientregistry.blob and letting steam do its thing, and that did work.

 

i dont understand the question, but here are most of them:

oh, now i get it. you were being insulting.

 

maybe you should change your password

 

admitably??? are you saying this with certitude?

 

This happens to me all the time whenever I play Empires on my HP DM1Z Netbook after switching from my desktop and vice versa. All you can do is do a manual relogin (click change steam user in steam) and force steam to ask for your password again.

Aside from that I've found no other fix.

 

yeah welcome to empires forum
do urself a favor and .......... never come back
im not warning you im just telling you that its a bad idea to stay
you would come to hate this community
its full of trolls

 

how well does Empires perform on a "Netbook" (actually that thing you got here is well above those intel-netbooks), realy I want to know.

 

It's playable at max settings minus HDR since I hate the effect it has in this mod.

20-40~ FPS depending on the action. The mods so severely CPU limited that whether I play at the DM1's native res of 1366x768 or at 1920x1080p out putted on my second monitor the performance is the same.

No, it certainly isn't an Atom. I wanted something that could play the bulk of my gaming collection with relative ease; watch 720p/1080p media either on the netbook's screen or on a monitor, while at the same time have excellent battery life for on the go and not have a crappy 1024x600 res on most 10' netbooks.

Just waiting on Silverlight 5 to be released with GPU acceleration which will allow Netflix HD to work flawlessly too.
