directdraw belongs Direct X.
Have you ever managed to play the game once?
If ur on Vista or 7 you might not have direct X 9.0c download it from microsoft.
If nothing of the above makes any sense, ignore it.
No, I have not played the game even once. I downloaded DirectX 9.0c from the Microsoft website and tried to play Ace of Spades on IE, but it still didn't work. I got the same error message.
OK some one needs to address this issue properly. Allot of people who are trying to play this game are getting one of 2 different messages when they try to join a server. I am one of these people and am very disappointed due to the fact that I can't play this game, it looks like allot of fun. The two error messages are:
Error!
Server Timeout: version mismatch or map transfer fail
Error!
Server connection failed: it's either full or misconfigured
I have tried the following things to fix it:
-reinstalling
-trying multiple servers
-making my own server
-joining servers in my region
-changing resolution
-spam clicking servers (warning, this results in allot of error windows)
-restarting computer
-turning off all background processes
-waiting
None have worked for me. Some say that if you wait for about 15 minutes and try it works. I am not so sure about this because it didn't work for me. I think that the best option would be to wait for further versions, again I am not sure but I can't think of anything else.
I first heard about this game because Coastar did a video on it (he was funny :3).
I really need help and so do so many others.
possibly your connection fault?! works fine here!
it doesn't work for me either, but when I don't get either of those errors, I get
It still doesn't work. I checked the modloader.txt and it said the same thing.
Try a clean install? Did you rename any files or smth?
ELSE: I am fully aware that BETA 1.4 is out. As i've said before, I'll only release it when v7 is ready, at the current moment, I have to redo the HEP, so it is NOT ready.
I already tried a clean re-install and I have not renamed any files. I have not updated to Beta 1.4 either.
I don't know if this has been said before, but it won't let me craft the "mysterious substance". Am I supposed to put the crafting recipes into the .minecraft somewhere?
Anyway, looks great, just wish I could try it...:sad.gif:
EDIT: NVM, just read the readme in the extra folder. But what is wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated.
check if the mod has correctly loaded in modloader.txt
Does this mean it has loaded correctly?

Ok first off this page from the wiki is always handy (although ignore the compatibility part, its usually wrong, check the forum links) http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Client_mods
