ok, to bring back a dead channel and keep from posting stuff that belongs here, out of the lounge, I seem to have a issue with 1942 that I desperately want to fix.

first off, xp 64 bit pro, symantec endpoint protection anti virus, decent hardware for being 5 years old exetra exetra....

I have recently installed 1942, many mods, the secret weapons expansion (road to rome would not install due to me getting a didget wrong when i wrote down the key some decade ago). after updating it to v 1.61b from patches i had saved on old hard drives, i tried to see if there where any servers online......to my disappointment, nothing came up. some days latter i tried running my own independent dedicated server on the computer through the internet option (v lan) and the game still dint see it. it did see it when it was run as lan. i completely shut off my anti virus to my knowledge, no change, windows fire wall is allways off (too full of holes to be of any good any way). i have tried this all again wile i had the network connection tab open and it looked to me like far too few packages where being sent and received wile 1942 was suppose to be updating its server list for it to actually be looking on the internet for them.

any ideas? it has been a great wile since i have done any on line gaming...having said that, second life does not seem to have any issues.

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
