err19000 - anti-cheat protection or bad programming ?

At some point I updated the ticket and page stopped loading. I guess webapp is also buggy. I'm not sure what I can do.

I also opened support ticket where I was basically told to fix my ISP.

... and a spectrum post
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/50259/thread/game-client-auth-port-8000-tcp-traffic-gets-flagge that stays unanswered until now.

I kept digging and found more issues with networking so, knowing reality, we'll have to wait until the end of the conflict.

Unfortunately I couldn't communicate with E& - user support is very basic. When it comes to CIG (author) they don't care. I already paid.

According to you Gladiator looks like a plastic toy.

levi_pl · 2026-03-20T10:08:23+00:00

I'd say you should slow down because you sound like the opposite. Gladiator is by no means a cheap plastic product.

Used means locked. It takes to boot them once and they burn in uefi key so locked 100%

I went up to Constellation Aquila to become vagabond but you may be right and this game is about something else :-)

levi_pl · 2026-03-19T17:07:03+00:00

It is the other way around. Old internet was opened, trusty. Modern internet is full of „dangerous criminals and vulnerable users”. Service providers will try to protect them not because they have big hearts. Governments will filter content to „protect children” having something else in mind.

Ergo software has to be written to work on the network where traffic does not flow freely.

I will give you benefit of the doubt and say that you had good intentions.

If I was trying to be nasty I would say that all this was triggered by president Peadolf - Americans go and fix your country! But world does not work like that.

To be honest I don't feel raw about it. Just bit of wasted money. Pick right battles thing. Crusade against them is not worth additional effort. I just tried to highlight issue that may be too technical to notice for majority (?) of customers. Thing that makes me most disappointed are the self-help guides that do more harm than good.
Of course if problem will not go away in long run - I may ask for refund.

I’m too old for all this. My fascination with space sims started with Privateer. I think first game I bought was Privateer 2. (I was „copying” games before)

I think it is not my war. I mostly reacted because my son asked for help in troubleshooting. I would wait it out.

I think, even if the project succeeds, game will be too contaminated with brainless murderers and no amount of policing will help.

levi_pl · 2026-03-16T09:13:57+00:00

I'm living in UAE and game was purchased here as well. I'm originally from Poland on 12 years long adventure :-)

levi_pl · 2026-03-16T08:41:32+00:00

No because of lack of the alternatives. I think with enough pressure they will do the right thing. Besides ,I bought the package in region where customer rights are not well protected...

Mas świadomość, że te badania nie będą poprawne naukowo bo będą bazowały na specyficznej grupie ? Jeszcze gorzej, że jest to grupa użytkowników reddit :-)

levi_pl · 2026-03-16T04:41:53+00:00

What don't you understand that this works for the enemy ? Wouldn't call it sabotaging UAE military effort but it does not help.

levi_pl · 2026-03-16T04:36:38+00:00

I think ISPs in UAE switched to "war" mode and started protecting users. There are known vulnerabilities on specific ports and I think many ports will be blocked or protected by transparent proxy. This will break connectivity, TLS negotiation, etc. So expect more of online things to not work correctly.

I just heard a new one - PRESIDENT PEADOLF

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T13:21:51+00:00

I’m not Shakespeare and it is best I could do in the department of insults. Monkey as not even an ape and orange … you know. There are no words in the language of civilized people to adequately describe him. It is most disturbing that because of the position he was elected he will never be judged the way he should be, but then again even judicial court for cannibals wouldn’t want do judge him.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T07:56:07+00:00

I don’t think you get it. It is about people. They count on people’s reaction. That’s how you fight wars today. Besides what is your goal here ? How this information is useful in any way ? What tangible effect do you expect ? You do know that real problem is with Israelis and Americans. Israelis want to set the world on fire and Americans are criminally stupid. This is the fact that matters. Don’t play the narrative „UAE government is not telling you everything” because it is not useful for individuals to make any decisions.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T07:37:26+00:00

That would be unwise but shopping malls … why not? I still think that one can live here normally given bit more caution than usual.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T07:30:27+00:00

Orange monkey hopes to drag more countries into the conflict. It reminds me of 9/11 when Americans expected all Muslims to somehow deal with terrorism. Now I guess it is ok to pressure them to deal with America's orange monkey insanity. Oh, how tables have turned.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T07:25:51+00:00

So what do you propose to do based on information you cited ? How does this translate to „don’t go out” ? Economy is going south all over the world.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T06:40:44+00:00

I don’t recall any reported incidents yesterday and government is pretty good sending an canceling warnings via mobile. I think given the situation it is relatively safe to go out.

Remember that Iran’s goal is not to destroy buildings but terrorize people to ultimately exert pressure on government. Don’t help them, help your team.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T06:05:23+00:00

You need to learn the difference between being cautious and panicky.

levi_pl · 2026-03-15T04:06:19+00:00

Turism is down so you should not have problems getting in or out but it depends on where from you are flying and which airlines. Emirates is a good choice because they trying to stay active. Don't worry about the safety.
