Can't play E.T. =(


(Dies Irae) #1

I can’t connect to many of the servers, it stops on Awaiting gamestate… and waits forever =(

and also when I want to host a game E.T. crashes. really don’t know why, it didn’t happened before I couldn’t connect to the servers. :frowning:

Anyone have a answer to my problem?

Suggestions?

Try removing the custom campaign files that has been auto-downloaded. That’s how I solved it when I had that problem.

Do you changed any firewall settings ?

I didn’t changed any setting, an i have disabled the firewall of windows xp. and still nothing on most of the servers, on others I can play normally. The weird thing is: I cannot connect to servers that shows with a ping of 30-70 but I can in servers with pings of more than 180 :???:

I have removed all the downloaded maps and still can’t host a game, my E.T keep crashing :banghead:

No clue of what is my problem :frowning:

u tried reinstalling ? closing down programs running in the background ?

It could be a guid auth issue. Go into the server browser window, turn off pb, and exit the game. Then restart and turn pb back on. That should generate a new guid.

This would be the case if you could join non-pb servers just fine, but hang whenever connecting to a pb-enabled server.
