ok, heres how it goes..

..in game spy, all the of the games have Red X's next to them, or yellow squares, when i join the yellow square ones and the host lunches,my game starts up and goes to that black screen (creating cliant and all that crap) then it crashes back t desktop!

I have Red hammer (gold UPGRADE) so it is upgraded to v1.30 then i downloaded v1.46 patch, the only addons that are not unofficial are the barret rifle thingy (with explosive .50cal bullets) and V2 desert everon!

Ruskie, have you figured this one out yet? If you do, be sure to post it here because I have exactly the same problem as you.

I've posted a similar question, if I find out, I'll be sure to pass it onto you. I'd appreciate it if you could do the same!

Good luck!

I'll send you an e-mail, The codemasters people say its my graphics card. But it cant be cuz it works in singleplayer!

It can still be your graphics card..

Make sure you have the latest directx installed, run Start > Run > DXDIAG and check your directplay settings, use the tests to see if you can successfully join / create directplay sessions.

Update your video drivers to the latest, make sure your sound drivers are also the latest.

If you must use GaySpay, select the dedicated servers part, and join a dedicated server. They are faster, more fun because they have more players, and are always online.
