Tracker Unavailable

Pop-pop's built in tracker doesn't seem to work for me (I get the error described in the subject line of this message). Is this because I'm behind a router? I can open ports if need be, but I don't know what ones would be necessary.

This happens to me too, and I'm behind a router.
Ah, jinx got to it.

Nope.

At the moment, the tracker is down.

Good to hear that it's not just me. I'll play some more versus and puzzle, then, and wait for workingness. Until tomorrow, if need be.
I really want to play this game multiplayer 🙂

The reason that I can't play on GameRanger however, is because (according to other people there) of my router. So if anybody does know the port(s) pop-pop uses it'd be much appreciated.

The tracker's back up, no worries. As for the port, it is 33333

Don't go to school to learn that 2+2=4. If you do you're missing the point. Go to school to learn how to add, then figure out that 2+2=4.

I thought the port was 42000... (Macintosh HD/pop-pop/support/trackerAddress.txt)

The tracker was the same one we used in the beta test, and debug logging was still enabled. It filled up the hard disk completely, and on UNIX, that's a very bad thing.

The tracker is up right now, and we're keeping an eye on it. Send mail to (url="http://"http://mailto:help@ambrosiasw.com")help@ambrosiasw.com(/url) if you are still unable to contact the tracker.
