God dammit.

[Louster]

Somebody suggest a reason why the fuck I've stopped being able to connect to any BF1942 servers. Not just BW. Every server I've tried, I've gotten an "Error - disconnected from server!!!!!!!" message after the "connecting" screen in the game. Nothing's changed about my connection, as far as I know. What the hell could be causing this please?

 

[Louster]

On a side note, surely they could come up with a better error message than "DISCONNECTED FROM SERVER". Really goddamn helpful.

 

[Louster]

Wait... uh.
Oh dear.
Let me test something.
I fear I may have to let this thread stand as a testament to my stupidity.

Firewall, yeah?

 

[lojik]

heh not the ol "unplugged cable" problem is it?

[17:55] <Louster> this is so lame it hurts
[17:57] <Louster> ugh
[17:57] <Louster> no wait
[17:57] <Louster> I can't connect to any server?
[17:57] <Louster> what
[17:57] <Louster> the
[17:57] <Louster> hell

 

[Louster]

Nope neither of those.
Uh well.
I went to a LAN session behind a fish shop a few days ago. They're naughty fellows over there and have downloaded the cracked .exes with the copy protection stuff removed. I was using their .exe so as to be compatible with their server. So uh. I wasn't compatible with any other server. Well done, me.

 

[Louster]

And you forgot to post the bit where I swore at you all and then quit. Heo. Well done me again.

 

[Panda On Smack]

i love you

 

[.Cask]

That was my revenge

Also be warned that some of the no-cd cracks out there have the same side effect

I have so many games that need disk in drive, I getting a little fed up with changing them all!
