MP just will not work ?!?!?!

dEtRiMeNtAl · 02-21-2002, 03:56 AM

Everytime i try to connect to a server through Gamespy i get this error message

"There was an error that prevented the game from being launched. Check to make sure the game properly installed and that the path is correct"

Any ideas anyone ?
I even uninstalled and re-installed and patched it up again but still the same.

going to sound like a dumb question but...did you make sure the path is correct?

dEtRiMeNtAl · 02-21-2002, 05:36 AM

Well this is probably gonna sound an even more dumb question but what path does it mean , the path to the .exe ?!?! , and is it is why shouldnt it be correct , or do i have to show it the location to gamespy ??

I never used gamespy before so i don't know.
I've got mp working through the in game mp section and not the quit out and launch gamespy version but there's not as many servers listed.

path = where the game is installed aka program filesea games whatever if you moved it it will screw that up

have u updated to 1.1?

dEtRiMeNtAl · 02-22-2002, 01:48 AM

Yep.
I completed the game then patched it "uk patch" and have this error message.

I even un-installed and re-installed and re-did the patch just in case but still the same.

Not sure if this will even work, but have you tried downloading the latest version of gamespy and installing it? Or if you even have it rescan for games maybe? I don't know if this even effects the ingame browser or not, but it might help.

Just an uneducated idea...

Well i didn't have gamespy installed untill i tried playing MP online so i'd guess it's the latest version of gamespy , and yeah i've done a few re-scans of games and still the same , it shows up in the list os games that im able to play but then i get this stupid error message when i click to connect to a server.....

Rather annoying i must say.

I can't get connected to the mp stuff at all...i reckon the problem is with gamespy...i'll try re-installing, re-patching and downloading latest gamespy .exe and let u know how i get on...
