(Copied from the IceWorld thread in General Discussion)
This might be the wrong place for this post. I'm having a technical problem specifically with Iceworld. I see that others have been exploring this age, so the problem might be on my end.
Behavior:
I link into the first big dark room where the Guardian asks me not to use Fly-mode. I agree and it begins to link me into the main(?) part of the age. Then I see a progress bar and a message on my screen saying "Linking to Iceworld... Authenticating" where it hangs for a minute or two. Then the game quits with an error pop-up saying "ERROR. AUTH RESPONSE FAILED". This happens every time for Iceworld. I have never gotten past the first big dark room. I've successfully explored many other ages without seeing this failure. The only other time I've seen this error is occasionally when I "/!resetage" in "Somewhere" (which I have already completed).
I am running Windows XP using a DeepIsland installation on a thumbdrive with plenty of space (16Gb free). I have tried completely reinstalling DeepIsland from scratch without any change to these symptoms. As I said before, I have not had this trouble with any other age.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do to resolve this? I'd really like to see Iceworld.
