| Problem: |
Can't join a game.
|
| Solution: |
If it's a tcp/ip game, check to see that the host's ip address and
port number is added to your game list. The default port number is 27888.
Use the add button to add the host's address with the format ip:port.
If the host is behind a firewall or router, port 27888 must be open and
the host machine must be set as the default route or the DMZ host.
If it's an ipx game, the correct network interface must be used. If your
machine has more than one network card, try them all.
|
| Problem: |
Can't start a new level.
|
| Solution: |
Wait a little longer in case a player has a slow computer or connection.
Level changes can take up to 120 seconds. Have every player click in
a few more times to make sure that their click registered on the server.
If all else fails, click ~ to go to the console, and type quit.
|
| Problem: |
Can't save a game.
|
| Solution: |
You can only save once per level. Have you used it up already?
|
| Problem: |
Keep dying during spawning.
|
| Solution: |
Restart / restore the game a few more times. Players spawn in slightly randomized
locations so it should eventually work out.
|
| Problem: |
Was moving fine but now I can't.
|
| Solution: |
Check to see if a player just died. Even dead players can still chat so
ask around and find the culprit. Once any player dies, all player movement
is disabled and the game is presumed to be over.
By default, keyboard strafing is not enabled so make sure you change the
keyboard controls before playing.
|
| Problem: |
Can't move after joining a game thats in progress. |
| Solution: |
This happens whenever a client joins a game that's not in the lobby level. Have the host restart the level or wait until the level completes and you'll have your
movement back.
|
| Problem: |
Can't load a custom map.
|
| Solution: |
Custom maps can't be loaded through the single player menu anymore. The
host has to load the map through the custom map section in the multiplayer
settings dialog.
|
| Problem: |
Can't play single player.
|
| Solution: |
Of course not. This is a multiplayer mod so if you want to play one player
you still have to start the game through the multiplayer menu.
Once the game is started, the single player menu will be enabled so you can save games.
