He's on Broadband. He told me 3DActionPlanet was also slow.

Apparently Havock is having similar problems (He mentioned this over on SpaceBattles) which makes me wonder how many other people are unable to connect.

THIS ****ING SUCKS. When is the maintenance going to end - or better yet, has it ended and I've been left ashore? :(

I swear revenge and postnuclear apocalypse to Gamespy if this does not end.


same thing here.
it's all so slow, it's like watching the ****ing seasons change.

Try the Wiki. CF said that oddly enough that worked well.

I'm starting to get a sneaking suspicion that it's the ads that are causing the problem. The wiki doesn't have any so......

erm, oddly enough, when using a proxy, the whole thing turns useable.
I am currently using this one: 212.21.228.22:8080 ; and HLP is browseable.  Without the proxy, I can't even connect to HLP.

Phew, finally got this sloved. Big thanks to kara :)

The problem was with the adverts, I got rid of them by editing the hosts file at:

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro  c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Open the file with notepad and add a line to the end:

127.0.0.1        ads.gamespy.com

Save the file, and everything should work. Again, thank karajorma for solving this :)

 
I did that to kill the ads ages ago, before the problem even started to occur.

No probs CF.

It was the fact that the Wiki worked but nowhere else did. Shows the importance of properly constructed bug report :D

Well I'll be damned.....

It now works without a proxy, not sure how long it will last.

Does anyone have any idea WTF is going on?

And now it is back again without the proxy.

And I still have no clue what's causing this mess.

Dude, edit the first post - no need for re-posting every time there's something new regarding your proxy.

ok, sorry 'bout that. And the odd thing isn't the proxy forking things, it's my own 'net connection, which works perferctly for any site but dynamic4.gamespy.com

No worries... just had a few people double or triple posting lately.

As for your problems.. 'fraid I really can't think why it's happening. Is there anything on Gamespy that might give a clue?

The way that CF's problems went away the second he stopped his browser from looking at GS's ads server suggests that they've cocked up something there.

Looks like the browser is waiting for something from the GS site and hangs until it gets it.

Like hell it is, I am using the exact same hack he is. No ads when I don't need the proxy.

I can read this without a proxy now, btw.

ugh, and now I can't read this without a proxy.... :hopping: :hopping: :hopping: :mad: :mad: :mad:
