Can't Connect to UAN...HELP

Discussion in 'Server Questions / Problems' started by Hollowpoint's Mrs., Dec 18, 2006.

  1. Hi guys

    for some reason I cannot connect to the uan server, I can get on others but not uan.
    this is what happens, the game begins to load and gets to the screen where it shows a pic of the current map and the white bar runs along the bottom of the screen, the white bar get approx an inch from the end and stop, the screen changes to the cod2 screen where it has the menu on the right says join, quit, options and so on, a box pops up and says Notice: server disconnected. This is happening an all uan servers.

    I have tried removing all mods that I can find, I have also tried removing all files labeled "zzz" something, I have tried these things at the advice of other people.

    I dont know what to do, any suggestions whould be great.

    thanks
    mrs h

    Well...it has been happening to more and more people. hopefully it will be brought to the attention of the higher ups...sooner or later... I love COD2 but this makes it tough for me to want to play...

    So...I am frustrated with you...

    Oh, by the way...does this issue just crash COD2 or your whole machine...?

    For me it is both and randomly.

    Best,

    Shark

    I'm sure mullet will address the issue after the holidays. I'm curious to see what happens if you reinstall. Did you try to manually update punkbuster? Updated video card drivers?

  10. I'm sorry from the trobles you are having but i have to say I'm glad it not just me!

    I have the same feelings as you, I love to play but.....well you know what happens

    So far its just the game, it hasnt crash the whole computer yet.
    I hope someone looks into this soon, it really bums me out

    Good Luck,

    mrs h

    i certianly hope someone looks into it before the holidays are over!!!

    I am not sure if this is related to hardware, software conflicts, network connectivity, Punkbuster, or the extreme mod itself.

    The machine I play on myself is a decent machine, not high-end by any means, but decent. The only hangup I have is that sometimes the game will lockup connecting to the main server or on the map loading screen. I'm usually impatient and end task cod2 before I see any other errors.

    I have a feeling it might be a combination of extreme mod and punkbuster, but I have not had it happen to me constantly on every map load.

    There is a new version of extreme out which I will be implementing when I get back from vacation, so maybe it will yield better results. We won't know until them, so all I can say is maybe reinstall the game or find an option in your virus scanner that exempts real-time scanning of the cod2mp executable. There are so many variables that go into this, it is hard to pinpoint what is exactly happening in your situation.

    Keep us posted with any results, positive or negative.

    I just reinstalled the game and got onto the server fine when it was running carentan. But, as soon as it switches over to a custom map it goes hay wire. I am running my rig in SLI so I am not sure if certain maps have problems with my video cards...but it seems very inconsistent...which is the most frustrating.

    I really love this game, but I cannot play. I am kinda disappointed. :(

    Could it be with the mods or maps...cause single player is fine.

    Also, when I run the game in 640x480 Res, it seems to work fine...go figure. This is what made we think it was a graphics issue, but, why would certain maps run fine in 1440x900 and not the rest...very wierd to say the least.

    Hopefully we will figure this out in time.

    network connectivity? no.
    Send her the link to d/l from the ftp server to get all the mods and maps and see if that helps. Thats the only thing I couldn't do this morning.

    mm, i dont think so, because then everyone should have the same problem. And i dont have any problems with it.

    and what if you start your own server with a custom map.. what does it do then?

    maps arent built as "set resolution" What Operationg system are you guys running?

    To debug the situation, you'd have to leave Cod2 normal, and let us know which maps work and which dont.

    What settings are on.

    Then change your settings. Check your dxdiag for proper DirectX version, and hardware "enhancements."

    What has changed since you could play before? New hardware, new software, Windows/other updates?

    Was it working fine, then you reinstalled the game? Remember, CoD2 is "old" and I do not think is written properly to handle the new higher end PCs/video cars.

    Perhaps, you missed the 1.01 patch which optimizes CoD2 for multi core/proc systems. This includes and Pentium with Hyper threading.

    Should I install this 1.01 patch before I install the 1.3 Patch?

    I have a Core 2 Duo...so maybe this is the problem... maybe... :p
