can'T connect to servers (different bug from others)

(oplexity) #1

When I try to connect to a server, it just doesn’t do anything. I see the servers list and once I click on the server, it does the click sound but the game just doesn’t react. Same thing happens when I click on the connect icon on the bottom of the screen.

I can’t make a game online but it works perfectly offline.

I tried to re-install the game and I even re-installed steam because I do not get any server on DOD and on CS:S. The thing is that I can play on my girlfriend computer just fine but her PC just sucks.

I need your help, thanks.

Meanwhile as a workaround you could use the steam server list, you get when rightclicking on the steam tray symbol and chosing “servers”. That opens a different launch dialog in brink, maybe you get to a server this way.

When I do that, it doesn’t do anything. When the game is closed, it doesn’t open it and it doesn’t try to get me connected. Weird!

What about the settings of your router if you have one, or the firewall ? did you temper with it ?

If it’s happening with other Steam games I suspect it’s either a firewall or a router security issue.
