Can't connect to the pure server: no downloads offered.

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Thanks

That means the server you tried to join doesn’t offer the downloads you need. You need to download the maps etc. manually.

(lambenttyto) #3

Okay. But it doesn’t tell me what I need, lol.

Unfortunately not. But why do you pick a server with custom maps? Did you try to join a TAW server? Just pick another one…

(lambenttyto) #5

There’s nobody in the other ones. It’s that server titled Villa with people always in it. I want in!

Get in contact with Villa, they will tell you what you need.

(lambenttyto) #7

That’s probably a good idea. Any idea on how to get in contact with them?

They have a forum, just google “Villa clan” (won’t work in Explorer, use Firefox)

I actually think the problem is that only the Villa testing server is up, it’s their new server, so they probably haven’t setup downloads, so that’s why you aren’t getting any.

Yeah, but I’m also trying to get into the new TAW NA map and I’m getting the same problem. Ace Killer is helping me get the maps and I’m going to put them in manually. Hope that works.

The test server runs the stock maps so you should be able to connect to it without problems if you have the game installed and updated it to version 1.5. You probably need an update for Punkbuster though since the automatic downloads for this game are no longer supported by Evenbalance, but you can find instructions on how to get those in the first post in this thread.

If you still have problems, you can ask for help here or on the villa forums: villa.foilfest.de
