Brandon Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 when ever i try to get to an online game, it connects, then goes directly back to the main menu. i have WXP SP1, 2000/300 cable, wifi networking. i downloaded both America's Army, 1.9 and 2.0, but i cannot connect. any ideas?

Tran Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hmm... my guess is that the game filled up as you tried to connect thus causing you to return to the main menu (if you were to join a game that was, say, 18/20) or there was just a connection error.

OptiPlex Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Enable PunkBuster. If it is not enabled, it will kick you off with no error messages or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 how do i do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wprigjoigj3i40jhgi0435ejh Veteran Posted December 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2003 In the bottom right hand corner of your server list you will see a check box (i think its a checkbox). Put a check in there by clicking on it to enable punkbuster. I had the same problem when 2.0 first came out. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistedMetal Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 I'm not saying your stupid or anything. Here is all I would know. Did you create a America's Army Account? Did you pass Training? Is Punkbuster Enabled? Are you using a router or firewall? Did you open the ports so America's Army can connect? Did your account get banned? (Not sure why, but it happens) Did you use to play America's Army long time ago? If so, you have to reactivate your account. Go to America's Army Web Site. That's all I can think of.

Brandon Posted December 23, 2003 Author Share Posted December 23, 2003 did not know u needed an account... and what ports should i open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 did not know u needed an account... and what ports should i open? You need to make an account (Free) on the AA Website this is very visible on the PERSONAL JACKET area of the game. You need to make an account then pass training to play. Opening ports is only required if you run a server from your computer otherwise you don't need to touch anything. If i see you on the battefield I assure you a granade will be coming your way from my right hand. Get with the program n00b. :sleep: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wprigjoigj3i40jhgi0435ejh Veteran Posted December 23, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 23, 2003 Get with the program n00b. :sleep: That wasnt very nice... very few games (if any) require you to register on the internet with web browser and then log in inside the game to play. Most (all that i can think of) games that require a username and password to be registered allow you to do so from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
