FAQs
Q: Do you need Hamachi?
A: No.

Q: What does DXWnd do?
A: With DXWnd, you can play SydneyMS or any full screen game on windowed mode.

Q: Is it required to have DXWnd?
A: No, but it is recommended.

Q: You made a mistake, can you fix it?
A: I think I have included everything needed to play SydneyMS, but if I missed something, tell me, and I will fix it!

Q: Oh my god, I'm getting this error! Help!
A: Refer to this. It'll tell you how to fix your problem that you are experiencing. [I.E. Error Code 38, ijl15.dll, etc.]

Q: I r teh lagz0rz on teh game! Help pl0x! (Translation: I'm lagging on SydneyMS! Help me!)
A: If you are experiencing lag, then it could be you, or the server. If it is the server, don't whine about restarting the server. You can't have it your way. You'll have to wait until a GM with Database Access comes on. If it's just you, then that's just too bad.


Q: Oh no! I disconnected from the server! What do I do?
A: It depends on your error. 'Unable to Connect to the Server' message means its under a temporary server check, your internet is not connected, or you put the client in with the wrong files.
'Connection to the server has ended.' message means that you disconnected. It's not a major problem, just reconnect to the server.
The rest of your answers are here: Click :)

Q: v55 and v(latest version or any other version) go together, right?
A: Wrong! Keep v55 and the other version you got away from each other. Don't keep them together, keep them in separate folders. That way, the files won't get messed up, and/or you don't lose the files for the other version.

Q: The client has/contains 0 bytes. Is this suppose to happen?
A: No. The size of the client is always 5.34MB. If it contains less than that, then either you downloaded it, and its defected, the computer reads it as a defected file, or just delete it and retry downloading it again. If you can't delete it, try moving it to another folder, restart/reboot your computer and then delete it. It should work then.
