It appears the server is failing to get the certificate from the main server but appears to still work fine. If anything you may find it takes a few more attempts to get on the server.

The owner of NeuWon mentioned he is slowly working on a new version of his website to fix all the broken issues.

I have deleted several pages of this thread to keep this conversation as clean as possible.  It you do discover a bug please feel free to start a whole new thread in the forums.

Thanks to flood6 two bugs discovered:

- an old copy of a file was not deleted by the installer
- "No Menu" option in multiplayer gives a CRC error (red warning error)
- revealed lack of clarity in the "get online with Swat 3" guide

Thanks to Dark Synopsis for testing the server crashes with me and some new mod fixes.  His expertise with Swat has been valuable.

I did not realize how borked the NuWON site was >.< most of the links with managing my account are just flat out broke.

I don't think you actually need an account on the site to be setup for SWAT though right? I think just one made through the Account Wizard is what is needed? was mainly on the site since I recall it could generate a unique cd-key for you but I guess not atm >.<

Ya, mostly borked. He is slowly working on a new version apparently.

Correct, all you need is the account wizard (and the Last Resort mod installed). It is mentioned in the guide at the top of this thread. Right now there is no way to retrieve your password so people need to write it down.

As for the crash ya it is something that needs to be fixed. Unfortunately Ben, the owner of NeuWon, is very busy. The server also gives us no feedback to what caused the crash.   What we need is for people to report in the forums what they were doing on the server when it crashed.   So far it looks like most of the crashes occur when someone logs out of the server.

Another big hurdle is communicating with Ben.   He seems to be the mad scientist type that is hard to communicate with.  For instance if I send him an email with 3 different thoughts he will only ever address one of them.
