Since the recent update to Loader (version 4.7.0.0), I have been unable to chain any "chainable" sims together. I was running Cardiff/VoG/Cardiff Valleys together with the "as it happened Saturday timetable. Basically nothing happens - the primary sim does not get any messages in the Control Panel and the only message that appears is in the Messages box to say "host has disconnected". I have tried chaining other sims together - same thing.

Any advice welcome.

Check the IP address you're using - typically 127.0.0.1 or localhost if on the same computer. Could also be a firewall issue.

Numerous games have been hosted on 4.7 recently so that is a red herring.

Hi Geoff

Yes it was the internal IP address. My PC/Simsig has always used something other than 127.0.0.1, and for some reason had started to increment the last set digits in the address it used internally for primary, secondary and tertiary connections.

I hadn't spotted that as it looked familiar, thanks for the pointer.
