Don't do anything rash! I think a lot of people are having the same problem -it's to do with Gamespy, not the end-user!

Can anyone else chime in - who was complaining about this in the last few days?

So you have no more problems Blood? K. Just clearing that up. I've had that problem before and I have come to believe... yes... it is Gamespy. Gamespy can be pretty screwy at some times. I think it's your connection vs Gamespy that wasn't working. Only certain connections do it time to time. I think my router was interfering with it once. K. And yes it's true... hopefully I'm back.


As we venture forth into these dark times, brave souls will fall and heroes will live to carry the light of hope forward, into the future. In the end all shall perish into flames and ash. Have heart, for from the ashes shall be born anew, an age that will outshine all others. With the dawning of this new time, all shall look to the sky and see hope laying amongst the the sun's rays.

Bus, this might be a bit drastic but: format your pc.

You can find it in the "Social" channel, though it goes down while we sleep. (Stupid loud fans!)

You can directconnect, I barley use gamespy. It just works so well that I prefer to type the server's IP over it. :)
