This section provides answers to frequently asked questions regarding development of titles that use the NEX library.
5.1. Applying for Use/Server Setup
How do I apply for use of a game server?
You can apply for use of a game server on OMAS. An NDID is required to log into OMAS. Contact Nintendo for more information on obtaining an NDID.
I have applied for use of a game server. When will I be able to start using it?
Servers are configured within 3 days of when the title enters the server setup phase on OMAS. If your game server has not been configured appropriately, communicate with your Nintendo contact via the OMAS message boards.
Why can't I connect to the game server?
Try running the sample demos while they are still configured to connect to the sample demo server. If you cannot successfully connect to the sample demo server, there may be a problem with your network settings or your account settings. Start by checking that all of your settings are configured correctly.
If you can successfully connect to the sample demo server but are having issues connecting to the game server for your title, see Why do my game server logins always fail? in 5.2. Login/Common Features and check your settings accordingly.
Why did my game server suddenly stop working?
If the game server has not been accessed for a certain period of time (2 weeks), the game server automatically transitions into a temporarily suspended state. When this happens, the server will return an X06-0502
error (where x
is a platform-dependent value) when you attempt to connect.
5.2. Login/Common Features
Why do my game server logins always fail?
Check that your game server ID and access key are correct.
In addition, for Wii U titles ensure that your title ID is set correctly.
Why do I get error code X06-0801
when my game server login fails?
This error indicates that the error handling for login failures may not be working correctly.
Check whether the NgsFacade::GetLastLoginErrorCode()
function is getting error codes correctly when the NgsFacade::Login()
function fails.
