Perhaps one of the characters is not standard English? Accents, graves, etc.?

The U may be the problem. Doesn't German use an umlaut or something with a U?

Status: offline 		I have used your account details (I had to temporarily reset your password) and I was able to login in in the forum.
The only thing I have changed was the password.
So or the issue is related with the password, although it doesn't make sense as the error message indicates an issue with the username and not the password, or somehow your NetPlayReg.txt file got corrupted.
I suggest first to delete the NetPlayReg.txt file and create a new one. Don't use a word processor to create the file, use instead a txt editor (like Windows Notepad).

If it isn't working then reset your password, one with numbers and letters only.
You can change the password at:

my password to the password the forum reset gave me - only upper case letters
I changed my first name in the forum (which is not part of the username or the netplayreg.txt) from Rüdiger to Ruediger

(Note u and ü are two separate letters)

however I still get the message: Unable to access Seeking opponent database,
hence i can not post a new message

Status: offline 		So: now you've got:

- General settings for you computer for Windows on US (and not on German language. remember: you are than using a US keyboard). This is not MWIF related, but a Windows setting.
- A user name with numbers and letters only which are the same in both MWIF and on this forum
- A password with numbers and letters only which are the same in both MWIF and on this forum

Netplayreg has your username and password exactly.

If that's the case, I don't know anymore what is wrong here. I'm out of options if these are all correct...

Status: offline 		As mentioned, if your Windows environment setting is still German, then try changing it to English. It may be due to keyboard translation of some characters. You also need the file "NetPlayRegistration.txt" which should be a single text line of your game registration code.

Status: offline 		HI Paul, I am still in denial that the windows system language or the keyboard language could be the rootcause for this issue.
However I did as told.
After I changed both, I rebooted the computer, deleted the NEtPlazReg and created a new one.

Same error Unable to access opponent seeking database

maz I suggest that the problem is on the server side

I suggest contacting V Paulus. He should be able to find out what the server is doing.
