All Seeing Eye - Shows one server?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I recently got back into OFP, decided to fire up multiplayer.  I remember many using and preferring The All Seeing Eye to find servers.  I installed a fresh version of The 'Eye' and only one server shows up (Rsfno) and under versions...the highest number is 1.60 which I thought odd.  I'm running 1.96.

Is there some discrepancy between Gamespy and All Seeing Eye, and won't let Eye clients see OFP servers?  I have ports configured properly, can join games from in-game browser.  Just a bit perplexed.  Would rather use ASE.

TIA

Edit: Never mind. Apparently during installation, ASE indexes OFP as 'Operation Flashpoint' by default. It should be 'Operation Flashpoint: Resistance'. An odd nuance, but was able to correct it in tools/options/games tab, selected 'Operation Flashpoint: Resistance' from the not installed games list.

I assume you are trying to play Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (i.e. version 1.46 or older)? Upgrade to Operation Flashpoint: Resistance! All servers are running that nowadays, as the engine and also multiplayer (sockets versus the old DirectPlay) has been improved significantly with Resistance.

Get it (or the complete Game Of The Year edition with CWC, Red Hammer & Resistance) at Amazon and other sites. It's quite cheap (less than 20 Euros) and you won't regret it, especially if you want to play mp or want to try all those nifty community-made addons.

Edit: For Resistance ASE shows 283 servers with 39 having people playing right now.

Funny, I'm quite sure his edit didn't show when I posted my answer, even though the time shown for it is about 16 hours earlier... rock.gif

Maybe you can trick the forum by setting your timezone to a strange value?!?

Daddl, thanks anyway for the reply. I should have just kept fiddling with settings in ASE. It was one of those simple fixes where I started at the most complicated end, and worked backwards.

Reminds me of the first acronym I learned in coding? "K.I.S.S." =)
