Multiplayer problems

[shnizelator]

Hi all ,

I'm having problems with the multiplayer , when I'm joining a server through HL ,FC is launched ,my comp is connected to the server but I just can't see the mission on the map (planeset ,players ,coalitions ,briefing,etc...)

I'm using a router , but also forwarded the gameports so I don't think it's problem , also , when I'm waiting until the mission file downloaded (can take 30 mins and even more) all the players are warping all over the place with huge lags...

Check your internet connection stability, it seems like you've packet loss problem.

tnx ,i contacted my ISP and there is no problem there ,

i googled it and i couldn't find a decent guide for packet loss tweaking for my comp, i'll be thankfull if you can send me a guide or some kind of test so i can know where to start from (-:

 

thanks again!

 

edit: checked with other sim (IL2 sturmovik) and there seem to be no problem ...

here is the tracert , it happens in most of the servers in HL even at servers with 100+ - pings...

Do you know if your ISP is shaping ports ? For example to prevent file sharing ?

 

If you pm me with some kind of MSN / ICQ number we could try to sort it out when im at home.

 

PS: As long as you dont act as a Lomac Server you dont have to open any ports on your Router.

[shnizelator]

i don't really know , but i don't think they do...

 

yarden_a@hotmail.com my msn adress...

[Groove]

Okay, i will contact you later.

Snizelators ISP is blocking his "Lockon port". We tested it, he will contact his ISP.

Has happened to me a few times also...I don't remember which server though. Try a different server as sometimes they maybe experiencing lag or hosting private games.

 

If this is not the issue then make sure Windows SP2 and/or windows firewall is not blocking the game and/or HL. The first time you run HL you should get a windows message asking if it should continue blocking or grant access...choose the second!

 

If you use a different firewall make sure it allows access to the game and HL. You might also wanna check HL FAQ!

 

Good luck resolving the issue...probably nothing serious!
