XEkushNR 0 Posted January 14, 2002 When I try to join an MP game (doesn't matter if GameSpy or direct IP) it gets into the game like it should, but after the "Creating Client..." message the game crashes to Windows. Â I e-mailed TechSupport about this and they told me it was a WinME problem, but I'm not really satisfied with that so I decided to post here and hear what you guys have to say. Â I would e-mail TechSupport back and ask for more details, but since it took em so long to respond in the first place I'm not gonna bother. Â Help please!

Mister Frag 0 Posted January 14, 2002 Run DXDIAG and test the DirectPlay APIs. If there is a problem there, reinstall DirectX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XEkushNR 0 Posted January 14, 2002 No I haven't tried that yet...Where do you put the folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XEkushNR 0 Posted January 14, 2002 Don't know if this will help or not, but I get an error message when I try to start a dedicated server with OFP_Server.exe. Since I can't play MP anyway, I figure these two are related. Anyways, this is the error message: No entry 'resource.bin::RscInGameUI::RscHint::Background.size'. Anyone have any ideas?

DESTROYERBOOOM 0 Posted January 20, 2002 Ok it is not an issue of WinME, or any OS. Ok a few things, do you have the newst version? If not well it came out like last week. Also make sure (if you do have one) your firewall is told to let it run. I know every time I patch OFP I have to tell my firewall to let it run. If I don't I crash. There are also special protocalls such to allow in the firewall ex says TCP/IP. If you don't have DX8.1 go ahead and d/l it. While you are at it update your 3d card drivers.... LOL I don't have complete details of your problem so I am spitting out a ton of ways it can be fixed... Last go to config, set as default... Reconfig can help... That LAST thing to ever do is re-install OFP.... :+) If needed feel free ICQ 63230961 or email DESTROYER@game-developer.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeadMagnet 0 Posted January 21, 2002 I just replied to Marshmanguy on this page who has the same problems as us. I have tried almost everything except moving the mpmissions folder...I'll give that a go but I'm not holding my breath. As I suggested to Marshmanguy..if more people with this problem emailed Codemaster's tech help site asking for help they might actually do something about it as it's obviously quite widespread. They told me to uninstall/run scandisk/defrag/reinstall etc but NOTHING HAS WORKED! I'm getting so frustrated as I was really looking forward to playing online. Aaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

DarkJedi 0 Posted January 21, 2002 Same here, BIS told me to install 1.40 and that's it, but I already had installed 1.40 and I wrote that in my mail. Before 1.30 I could join internet servers but after 1.30 not anymore, so what did they change in 1.30? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin6e 0 Posted January 24, 2002 Hello, I had the same probs and the solution for was NO ICS!!! Somehow OFP doesn´t like the Internet Connection Sharing of win98SE and XP. The server of the network has no problems but the clients do. Try using ´Sygate home/office network´ or ´Winroute lite/pro´ for instance. But then again i don´t know if you are on a NAT but if you are try this!! Greetz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkJedi 0 Posted January 24, 2002 I dont use a ICS, I have cable maybe that's the prob? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
