@ -85,5 +85,4 @@ If `localhost` doesn't work when trying to connect to your local game, try `127.
- If your MUD client cannot connect to `localhost:4000`, try the equivalent `127.0.0.1:4000` instead. Some MUD clients on Windows does not appear to understand the alias `localhost`.
- Some Windows users get an error installing the Twisted 'wheel'. A wheel is a pre-compiled binary package for Python. A common reason for this error is that you are using a 32-bit version of Python, but Twisted has not yet uploaded the latest 32-bit wheel. Easiest way to fix this is to install a slightly older Twisted version. So if, say, version `22.1` failed, install `22.0` manually with `pip install twisted==22.0`. Alternatively you could check that you are using the 64-bit version of Python and uninstall any 32bit one. If so, you must then `deactivate` the virtualenv, delete the `evenv` folder and recreate it anew with your new Python.
- If you've done a git installation, and your server won't start with an error message like `AttributeError: module 'evennia' has no attribute '_init'`, it may be a python path issue. In a terminal, cd to `(your python directory)\site-packages` and run the command `echo "C:\absolute\path\to\evennia" > local-vendors.pth`. Open the created file in your favorite IDE and make sure it is saved with *UTF-8* encoding and not *UTF-8 with BOM*.
- If your server won't start, with no error messages (and no log files at all when starting from scratch), try to start with `evennia ipstart` instead. If you then see an error about `system cannot find the path specified`, it may be that the file `evennia\evennia\server\twistd.bat` has the wrong path to the `twistd` executable. This file is auto-generated, so try to delete it and then run `evennia start` to rebuild it and see if it works. If it still doesn't work you need to open it in a text editor like Notepad. It's just one line containing the path to the `twistd.exe` executable as determined by Evennia. If you installed Twisted in a non-standard location this might be wrong and you should update the line to the real location.
- Some users have reported issues with Windows WSL and anti-virus software during Evennia development. Timeout errors and the inability to run `evennia connections` may be due to your anti-virus software interfering. Try disabling or changing your anti-virus software settings.
