Protocol Error Question...
« on: May 06, 2021, 08:23:42 PM »
Good evening everyone. I am trying to load Family Guy into my G20, and I keep getting a Protocol Error message. I have searched and have my Setup/Communication/Protocol/G2STransportG2S 6/Advanced/Protocol Enabled set to NO, and Protocol that controls Legacy Meter Change set to NOT REQUIRED. Is there anything else that I might be able to try? Thanks!

Your Protocol Error shows the IPC is not communicating with the EGM.


Your Serial IPP COMM and ADDRESS in the EGM's settings needs to match the IPC's-Fiber I/O boards location-IPC address set up or they won't communicate.


You DO have an IPC flashed for Family Guy connected to your EGM, correct? As one is required to run Family Guy.


Hope this helps!

If you answer his question first it might help……..do you have an IPC?  Connected? The game won’t play without one.

Family Guy like most of the themed Family 14 AVP games is designed to operate on a wide area progressive network.  If it can't communicate with a progressive controller you'll get a protocol error message like you're seeing.  The IPC is a specialized device that you can connect to your machine and with the proper software will allow the game to work as it would connected to a progressive network.  They are not cheap, but you may be able to find one if you are willing to pay the price.
