While asking for help you must:

  1. Use Search bar on the forum. Probably you problem had already been solved.

  2. If there is none, create your topic in the right sub forum.

  3. In the title of the topic describe the problem as briefly as possible. Topics with titles like "Help!", "Help", "Nothing works" will be deleted without warning. The same applies to those that are open in the inappropriate forum thread.

  4. In the topic itself, describe exactly what you were doing to eliminate the problem, where you were looking for solutions etc. Also write the characteristics of your PC and the version of your OS.

  5. Be patient, during the day you will receive the answer. If not, so the solution is on the forum and you can’t search

Be patient and wait for the server to be up. The ZLOEmu team is already working on this.
