OK, kids...

We need to figure out who was in "Capture Da Town" so someone other than myself can host joinable games.

Yes, they appear in the scopes and yes, they appear in game but they do not provide any game details or allow anyone to join the game.

This is the same problem TEX is experiencing so we're working on it...ish.

:shock:

hello it was me that night hosting capture the town

So, I'm not 100% sure if you were crashing out of the game or just joining and exiting *OR* if you got Nitro Patch III applied and got Nitro Pack stabilized.

Drop us a line and let us know so we can make sure you're included on the game invitations list or schedule some time to help you troubleshoot the game.

Thanks!

ok will do

I was havin the dreaded spinning hud prob or what ever u call it were its spinning round the car then I crash out the game but found out the patch 3 fixes it by a nother player that night so i think I have that much fixed but when I used the separate dll folder from the patch3 to fix the I guess its for the router issues I tried to join the battlezone1 server it would just say im not connect to the internet even though im clearly on it lol but I took it bck out and used the one from patch2 dll folder I could get on the server and join games just don't think I can host still idk........ that's were im at so far

OK.

For Nitro Patch II to work correctly you need to overwrite all the files in your installation directory with the ones included in the ZIP.

Though, there is no guarantee that it will work.

As for the hosting problem, it seems that it's more common than we should be seeing unless you're on Windows 8 (which is essentially untested at this juncture) or you're using the same type modem as Tex.

Care to fill us in?

There is a test game up right now so why don't you see if you're patched up and stable?

The easiest way to tell is to damage your car (by ramming into something) and if you don't crash, you're stable. If you drop we'll need to look at some other possibilities.

Let us know.

Yeah I installed a GOG copy with nitro patch3 on windows 8.1 and everything is fine except I can't get info on hosted games or join them and the games I host can't be joined.There is not many people playing to test different things.If the problem is with my setup over here it isn't going to help testing with two pc's on the same network.

Yeah that was always my problem.I was going to sleep about the time the TNE was starting.Maybe someone could leave a game up after the event is over I could try it in the morning.

Is there any night anyone would be interested in scheduling some trouble shooting/combat ?I see "guests" on this board everyday.Fire up those games :!:
