Being kicked back to RR

Postby wolfhawk » Thu Aug 07, 2003 6:45 pm

Hello all. Hopefully someone out there can help me...When I join a multiplayer game set up for teams, I have a small problem. When it is launch for the first game it is fine. After game, back to ready room, but, when the second is launched I appear for a split second and then back to the ready room in the ready mode. I am running XP home and have CFO loaded. I have all 3 CFS's installed, Directx 9.0a and have 512Mb of memory. If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appreciated.....Thanks :(

Sounds like a firewall problem to me, I had similar problems with Norton Internet security a while back.

Ultimately, I could'nt join a multiplayer game at all unless I disabled the firewall. (Norton)

Hope this helps.

Wolfhawk,
I believe there was a number of bugs with DirectX 9.0a.
There is new a 9.0b. It might be worth trying that.

I have the same set up as you XP, CFO, 512mb and have had no probs with either  a or b version of DirectX.

Scania,
You need to open a series of ports to allow the game through your firewall. The required ports are listed on the MS site and number of other places.
Don't shoot me!!

the trick is, Un-install CFS2, then Manually delete the folders left behind in the un-install, re-install CFS2, thats 1 of the conflictions of CFS2/CFS3, always make sure CFS2 is installed last
