Trillian Astra Build 75

There are no patch out for this build yet but there is a workaround First of all you\'ll need to create a username in trillian astra inside the client. 1.Just type in a name .Any name at all.We\'ll just call it bear and the password can be apples 2.Now when you try to connect it won\'t connect right?Exit out of trillian 3.Locate and go into this C:\\Document and Settings\\YourName\\Application Data\\Trillian\\users\\bear 4.Find the file ASTRA-bear.ini.Open it 5. You\'ll see a line that says prefsConnectionSettingsServerPort=3158 6. Change the number from 3158 to 4444 7.Now save the file and try logging on in trillian

if this is the real thing i'm gonna try and seed it for a few hours til it gets some popularity. Thanks for this.

ninjabear (2008-03-29)

Yes .it's the real thing.
I tried searching for a patch but came across how to bypass it
so let me know if you understand the instructions.I got it going and am using it now

@ ninjabear: You might also want to update the info for vista users.
for step 3 if you're using vista here's how to get to the location (make sure to enable seeing hidden files first):
C:\Users\YOUR TRILLIAN USERNAME.

bookwhiz13 (2008-03-29)

it's working for me now, thanks. although this does seem to slow down the log-in process, it works. So i guess if and when a patch comes out, people try that and see if it speeds things up a bit. Other than that, this works fine. Thanks, ninjabear.

The question is... Does metacontacts now work that you are logging into astra?
Before, when you made them, they wouldn't get saved.

selwonk (2008-03-29)

i'm still getting an error. i did everything you said and still doesn't work for me.

ublueskyu (2008-03-29)

thanks for your upload man..

ublueskyu (2008-03-29)

like selwonk the same.. I changed port but still nothing :(

artik1024 (2008-03-29)

Exactly like. Changed the port to 4444, but trillian doesn't login.

QuePID (2008-03-29)

Works fine for me with the instructions provided :)

artik1024 (2008-03-29)

Really QuePID ? :'( it's seem that depend of the system / configuration, but for many ppl, it's doesn't work. We have to wait ;)

ublueskyu (2008-03-29)

i find solution

ublueskyu (2008-03-29)

change port in "ASTRA-user.ini" with 4444 like he said, and in "trillian.ini" (in Trillian program) "[Login]
Location=" with: "149,90,652,482"

ublueskyu (2008-03-29)

for me works now

selwonk (2008-03-30)

i don't see "[Login]
Location=" in the "trillian.ini" file

ublueskyu (2008-03-30)

but for me looks the same like build 74 just a little change, its more much slow. My opinion.

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

Many thx ublueskyu to try finding a solution, but i tried to change in the trillian.ini file :
[Login]
Location=432,161,935,553
to
[Login]
Location=149,90,652,482
But i still get this error :
"Error while connecting.Please check your account name and connection, then try again."
:'(

ublueskyu (2008-03-30)

in Trillian program (program files\trillian or else) I said, not in documents and folders

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

"but for me looks the same like build 74 just a little change, its more much slow. My opinion."
Maybe ublueskyu, but this release (75) solve this issue :
dll error :D
That's why build 75 is important to me ;)

ublueskyu (2008-03-30)

I can post here any site, I try.. I have rar archive app maked to work, posted to rapidshare

also, pee_roach at yahoo dot com

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

Oki, many thx. but a tried, ans exactly the same. It seems the different configuration is the problem. Maybe we have to wait for a real patch. I also tried the "trillian astra 4.0.0.xx" generic patch, and it doesn't work.
Btw, thx for trying to help me ublueskyu

ublueskyu (2008-03-30)

you have windows xp right?

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

Oops .... Win 2K .... :S

ublueskyu (2008-03-30)

this its just for winxp :))

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

The NFO you mean ? (Replace by 4444, etc etc ?)

ublueskyu (2008-03-30)

yes

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

Oki, so i need to wait for a real patch =) thx again !

ninjabear (2008-03-30)

Hi
Sorry guys but yes I am using windows xp so i have no idea how vista will look like
Its working fine here when i exit the software and relogin

xavierk (2008-03-30)

You could always block the following outbound TCP ports in your firewall:
TCP PORT 443 to 74.201.34.2
TCP PORT 3158 to 74.201.34.2
This works the same without any modifications to the application.

pascat (2008-03-30)

Well, guess I'm the only Vista Guru around.
For Vista, the path for the Documents Settings is:
(To go along with the setting earlier)
Now, people wonder why I actually enjoy vista... Maybe because I spent the first days exploring every little corners of it to find what it hides and control it better? In anyway, the directory is hidden so if you hope to simplify your life, activate how to see hidden files.
If you don't know how, its in the File Browser...
Click on Organise, Folder and Search options. In the 'View' tab, you will find See hidden files. Bring it to Yes.

chuxDLX (2008-03-30)

Hey pascat, I tried what you said (I use vista) and it didnt work. It keeps saying "Error while connecting. Please check your account name and connection then try again." Is there another port number I should put in...I put 4444 but obviously its not working.

artik1024 (2008-03-30)

So, it seems win2K and vista users have many prods. I also tried to do what xavierk suggest, but nothing.
Anyway, 1 000 000 thx to you ninjabear. I simply hope a patch is coming.

ublueskyu (2008-03-31)

a new simple method for other operating system, install and login on older trillian version (like build 74).. a log will be created, then try again with build 75

artik1024 (2008-03-31)

Thx ublueskyu..... but ;)
doesn't work again !
Tried to login with build 74, it work. Then installing build 75, and..same issue as before :S
Any new idea ? (lol, unoffical beta patch tester ;)

NitramXY (2008-03-31)

artik1024 try installing build74, login with it, then install build75 and change the port number from 3158 to 4444. That worked for me!

artik1024 (2008-03-31)

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many thx NitramXY, ublueskyu and ninjabear !!!!
Well, once launched, My DLL error as been solved ! (thx trillian team lol !)
Now i can use it normally. But question, I got this message when build 75 starts :
"trillian is currently in offline mode and not connected to the trilian astra network. Any changes to your contact list will not be saved to the server." (but i think it's normal lol)
Also, if i rename all my contact and close trillian, all my contacts back from their original names. Other issue : i need to launch trillian 2 or 3 times before he can connect and launched.
Strange .. lol

NitramXY (2008-03-31)

The "trillian is currently in offline mode and not connected to the trilian astra network. Any changes to your contact list will not be saved to the server." is normal i guess . I don't know how to solve the other issues, it will probably be solved when a decent patch is out .

tjmk24 (2008-03-31)

it dont work, du you have a crack for it

ublueskyu (2008-03-31)

just search "trillian astra build 75" you will find the crack in the same site

Bootlegger13 (2008-05-14)

@Nitram
When it is not fiddled with Trillian Astra is designed to talk to a remote server and would save any changes to your contact list there. Since you are blocking access to the server to make it work it will not send or receive changes to the Astra server.
One of the hassles of using software in ways not quite intended by the designers.
