You must have a key on your keyboard called: prt scr or sys RQ.. just pust that and ds creates a screenshot.. you can find your screenshots @ my documents/dungeon siege/

if it doesn't work just do the same and paste it in paint.. save your screenshot as jpg Wink

Zone Match isn't working for one reason. That reason is that Dungeon Siege 1.11 has expired its shelf life. A shelf life is the amount of time that a company expects its game to have a significant amount of players playing it. The shelf life expires when the online provider costs more to uphold than players are playing. Therefore, Zone Match was cancled because there weren't enough players playing on ZoneMatch, and Gas Powered Games deemed that it wasn't worth the cost. This wasn't determined recently, GPG designated Dungeon Siege 1.11's shelf life immediately after the game was released, so even though there might have been 200 games open at any given time, it was closed.

I believe that the shelf life for Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna hasn't expired yet, so users with that game are still able to play on Zone Match with DS LoA.

hehe but loa uses the same zonematch.. i don't think they can exclude ds 1 from the zonematch if you ain't have loa.

Some say its a security reason, well its takes them damn long to fix that Confused

Well lets wait for more information Smile

No, they both use Zone Match, but it's a different version for both games.

Yeah, that we can agree on. There's a lot of debate on Siege Network, too about it.

mis-information and rumors...tisk tisk

i have absolutely no idea what black logan2 is smokin...the zone has been down for 4 weeks and going on to week 5....may be he has a hacked version that logins to ventrillo or some thing...

As for Lone knight, u r also incorrect...I have ds1/loa...when u login as loa, u see the same exact games, except u can't join ds 1 games.
if u login as ds1, u will see the same games, except u can't join loa games...
and they BOTH login to the same zone match server...

So far w.t.f. demo has the correct information....

the real evil doer is Microsoft....if u look under whois domain name...it list microsoft as the owner of ip address...logic follows that the ip address owner is also one hosting the server.

so u can complaint at microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/oas/...x?&c1=510&gprid=6978&

As long as u have a valid product ID from the LOA CD disc and have not used up ur free support (if u never used it or used support only 1 or 2 times then u should still have free support)

Here is the link to the screen shot of my chat with microsoft:

Uncle Monkey....the real name, email and Product ID has been removed to protect the innocent

Well your right Monkey. I outlined all of this months ago here
http://krwclan.myfreeforum.org/about427.html

And knew it would be a matter of time before they pulled the plug. The official word from a senior tech then was DS1 Zone server was scheduled for decommision and wold be taken down. HOWEVERF since LOA uses the same zone server it is likely that DS1 zone match would remain active untill the Jan 2009 life cycle for LOA is over. I got all of this before the DS1 life cycle was over.

Now the part about LOA going down now is just pissing us all off and it should remain active until the product live cycle is over. THER IS NO REASON MS NEEDS TO TAKE IT DOWN NOW. Security problem . . . maybe, but they should fix it just like any of their other producs. So if you own LOA complaion to them they need to hear it.

Thanks
