dazmorg 0 Posted August 28, 2002 I've been playing OFP on line for some time without any problems, however since upgrading to 1.75 resistance I cannot connect to any MP game. I get as far as connecting and can see some conversation then get kicked back to the game lobby with the message session lost. With some friends I reconnected with 1.46 and could connect and play ok with no problems but as soon as I revert back to 1.75 i get session lost. Before on 1.46 session lost meant the server had crashed, this is not the case as everyone else can play quite happily. I run a duron 800 system with geforece 2 32mb card 256 mb memory and 60gig hd at 7200rpm, i play with a 56k modem (ambient ham drivers I think) i have the latest drivers for everything and do not run a virus check or firewall. anyone help please?? I've searched the forum and avon ladys FAQ but can't find a similar problem but speaking to people on line I know others have experienced it. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted August 28, 2002 When you use V1.75, are you using the Socket or DirectPlay implementation? Please be aware that the Socket implementation uses a different set of ports, so if you are behind a firewall or NAT, you'll have to make some changes. Go to AvonLady's Unofficial OFP FAQ and search for "firewall" to see the list of ports required for each network code implementation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazmorg 0 Posted August 28, 2002 thanks for that but I use direct play the same as everyone else, I also double and triple checked that I was using the correct port (the same one as everyone else). But i will check that page at avon ladys site. Any other suggestions?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted August 28, 2002 You don't use ZoneAlarm or some other firewall that creates application-specific access rules, do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted August 28, 2002 Duh, I just noticed that you said you didn't use a firewall. Oh well, on to the next idea... How much memory do you have free? V1.75 has a bigger footprint than V1.46, so the amount of RAM in your system and the size of the Addons folder become more critical. Have you tried removing anything unofficial from that folder?

dazmorg 0 Posted August 28, 2002 No, no forewalls or anything else. I've checked avon ladys page on firewalls, although it mentions session lost I cant actually see a cure or fix for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazmorg 0 Posted August 28, 2002 I have no unofficial addons and should have more than enough memory and disc space as the only game I'm running is OFP. 256ram should be enough although i appreciate my processor (duron 800) isn't fantastic these days it runs the game ok.

You can only connect to the old servers (V1.49 and older) using the V1.46 executable, and to new Resistance servers using the V1.75 executable. The Resistance servers usually all use Sockets btw. - so change that to connect to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazmorg 0 Posted August 29, 2002 thanks I'll pass that onto the server too see if its the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
