Hello, My name is Kasper and I just signed in to be able to ask a specific question (Asked it on Gamefaqs but not many people are on that board anymore) because I have problems online with this game (Only got it yesterday).
I'll begin with that I'm from Belgium and my native language is Dutch, so excuse me for any stupid mistakes I could make... I did tried to search on the internet for this specific problem and I found quite alot of topics telling about problems with UT2004 servers and most of those the solutions were also given:
1) One solution was that the MasterServer was down.
2) The other was because the firewall gave no access.
3) Patching (I patched it first thing I installed to the newest one)
My problem is the following, when I tried to play online I could not connect. I got an error saying something about no permission or something (probably this is something with firewall?) so I clicked the box on called "run this program as administrator" and it worked. I got a notification of my pc asking "do you want to let this program connect to the internet?" and I said "always".
After this, I could play online... Altough I could ONLY play those servers online that had not the name "UT2004". My guess would be that those other servers are servers from other people... Nontheless, I could connect to any of them except the servers with the name "UT2004"... When I try to connect it tells me "connecting to...." for almost 10 minutes before it tells me that it failed to connect... I also noticed that the "PING" said "N/A"... Problem is, if I want to play on servers with no bots, no mutations and all those things a huge number of servers dissapear (If I give permission to those I get almost like more then 50 choices) and more then 50% listed (which are almost 10-15) are "UT2004"...
I created an account for this forum just to be able to ask this question (after being stuck for many minutes because I could not read the image certification to prove I"m not a bot <_<, some humans can barely read it too) because all the solutions given I found on the internet (masterserver is not down I think and the program has access granted to the internet) are not aplied on me. So I'd like to ask if someone can possibly help me.
ps: If my problem has been asked many, many times before... I'm sorry, I really searched on the internet, but maybe I'm not that good in searching...
