Title: I Need Help With The Game
Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 02:43:19 PM
I can't get the game to work for me...I activated my account...and I entered everything right...but it seems that my internet won't work when I open the game..It will only work if I'm using a webpage...does anybody know what to do?

Just to be clear.

1.  You clicked 'update' on the serverlist?
2.  You refreshed the serverlist.
3a.  If you're not seeing a list of available games yet, you've made sure that your firewall is not blocking the connection
3b.  If you do see a list of games, you have double clicked  on one to join.

I only ask these simple questions because your new, not because I think you're not intelligent.

When did you register your account?

Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 03:35:48 PM
I had to re-register because he restarted the database.

It sounds like parental controls... If there are any make your parents give you full access.

if you have a router, make sure that the ports are open

I have no idea what that is...so I'm guessing I don't have one.

Post by: Sim0n on June 28, 2007, 05:10:31 PM
sorry :D

or do you have a firewall?
Title: Re: I Need Help With The Game
Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 05:12:31 PM
My firewall is on...but I took it off to see if that was the probably and it still didn't work
Title: Re: I Need Help With The Game

Paintball2.exe is probably not allowed access to the internet.  You need to go into your firewall options and allow it.
Title: Re: I Need Help With The Game
Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 09:20:14 PM
I'll try that.
Title: Re: I Need Help With The Game
Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 09:25:14 PM
Ok...I checked the firewall settings and it allows the game...but it only says paintball2...not Paintball2.exe
so I'm not sure if I need to add that one in or not.
Title: Re: I Need Help With The Game
Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 09:42:41 PM
I figured out my brother cleaned up my computer and took things off without knowing what they are so he could have space for a game called "Morrowind" which if it didn't have enough space would lag.
Title: Re: I Need Help With The Game
Post by: Red Blood98 on June 28, 2007, 10:02:46 PM
Ok...I just deleted the whole folder...and downloaded Build19 full and it works...so I guess my brother did delete something that had to do with the game.

Try using the Modify button instead of double, triple, or in your case quardruple posting.
