If you can’t connect to the site you’ll need a program called Proxycap (if there’s a free alternative please do tell) and a SOCKS5 proxy.
Proxycap Setup:
Edit You also have to use IE.
Once installed add a proxy:
Replace localhost and the port with yours.
Then you need to add a rule:
Note that using the settings in the picture will make all programs use the proxy. Making a rule for iexplore.exe and JanRyuMon.exe should work if you don’t want other programs using the proxy.
Lobby:
Left tile: Private game
Middle: ranked
right: CPU game, tutorial
Chat options:
Top: Room chat
Middle: Private
Bottom: Global (3 times a day?)
Ingame:
Z: Autowin
X: Tsumokiri
C: Autocall List
V: Autopass
B: Autosort
Right clicking tiles brings the autocall option as seen in the picture.
Thanks goes to Necrosis for telling me about Prozycap
>I got HotSpot and it works perfectly but for some strange reason I can’t log in the janryumon site anymore
Gorgils, I got the same problem. Can anyone help us?
How do I set a private match? I can’t get it to work with my friends.
Maybe make sure all your friends are in the same lobby before giving them the room’s code?
Janryuu sents you to a lobby at random at the time you log in. That’s why you see the Japanese guys going “1234 @2″
Enter the lobby/server number 2, and type in the code 1234.
(I actually thought it sent you to the proper server automatically, but oh well)
If you cannot login anymore, switch to Packetix, with Packetix works again (some messing with the *** activex). Also they added in the launcher resumable downloads! So if downloading stops you could just resume it and you continue without redownloading the whole file. Takes a long time to download Janryumon 2, so take a (really) big cup of cofee and spend some time on newgrounds and youtube, while you resume the update (in my friend’s PC takes like 4 hours more or less, remember you are using a proxy). If for some reason a file gets stuck and resuming doesn’t work, go to the installation folder of Janryumon and delete it. After that continue updating. Oh, and happy playing!
I switched back to packetix after struggling with hotspot and got it to work but now my games suffer from random dropouts. I have to start the game again from the website and by then I’ve usually dealt into a big hand. Is there any reason or advice how to counter this?
Using:
Ie 8
Packetix VPN
Windows 7
Sometimes I feel like I’m one of the few who can play this game without proxy and without problems.
The thing is that I use the same ISP in two different cities, and in one I can get the game up and running without troubles, in the other city not. Has anyone more information about that ?
I think some IP ranges have problems connecting. Has anyone tried emailing Plaync JP?
We could try that indeed, but I don´t have much faith. There is a high chance that a response like “We only offer our service for japan” will return, but its worth a shot. Do we have an address , unfortunately I can´t even reach http://www.plaync.jp/ ;-)
I used to be unable to log into Janryumon without setting up a VPN, but now it works completely fine. I have no idea why this happened for me, but if you couldn’t log in in the past, maybe give it a shot now and see what happens.
VgameT: Did your IP change?

Oh god, sorry about the pingback/comment psuedo double comment there.
osamu: It would change depending on whether I was at work, at home, or at my parents’ house, I guess. Why do you ask?

I’ve had the same problem.
The message says, that the plugin was installed successfully, even though it didn’t.
If you have Internet Explorer 9 downgrade it back to IE8. It just won’t work with IE9.
I’m finding that a combination of PacketiX and Hotspot shield is needed now. Hotspot shield has an issue with logging in with the activeX, so you need to use PacketiX to log in. Then while logged in switch to Hotspot shield, which allows you to start the game. :)
