files not downloading from server

Post by snow »

Hi all,
This is the old [TA]Snow, I havent logged in for years. I finally got everything setup and running, but when i try joining the oldunreal inf standoff server, nothing downloads. I can click any of the dm servers, and the files download right away. Any suggestions?

Almost surely a text error somewhere. Compare your redirect lines from the different ini's and see what's missing. Could be a missing trailing slash at the end, I mess that one up sometimes.

My email is agutgopostal at gmail dot com. Send me the ini file and I'll tell you what's wrong. You can scrub the admin password if it makes you feel better but it's perfectly safe as it will go no further than me helping you.

I copied to you where your ini file was missing what it needed in my reply. I also sent you a copy of the ini from my server so you can compare them and see anything else you might need to change. If you have any other issues just let me know.

Hi Snow,

Are you using the latest (227i) patch?

I assume you probably are because you are able to retrieve the server list, but just want to make sure.

Yes, I have the latest patch. When I click to join, it just stays on "connecting". Never starts downloading anything. I've joined other dm servers with no problem.

Side note: Have you tried it again? This problem does occur when the server just switches maps when you are joining. Rejoining will make your client download the new map (if you do not have it already) and then join the server.

did you try to join the "OldUnreal Infiltration Standoff"-server running on ip 69.64.59.248?
the server runs on newbies' dedicated server and although the control-panel showed the server running, it was stuck. i restarted the service now.
