"Awaiting gamestate" when more than one player joins a game in Enemy Territory


(coldscooter) #1

Hi, My friends and I play ET over Hamatchi against bots.

Sometimes it works fine and others it allows one person to join the game, and then everybody else gets stuck staring at the “Awaiting gamestate” screen, which never ends up going into the game.

Once the person that was able to join leaves the game, another is allowed in.

As i mentioned, sometimes it works fine, however the other day it was doing it constantly, and effectively wasted hours of us just trying to join each others game, without sucess.

Please can anyone help??!!!

why not just use et.ded and normal internet connection ?

if their ISP do not forward their IP to be seen from rest of internet, hamachi is the only way, i had same problem.
you are right about etded however. ded serv + client, even on same machine > serv+client as one process. imo. i can be wrong.
