Madenod Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi spekkio. You said you have no problem on WoL, I mean, did you already play online in WoL?If you did then it should be very easy to change from WoL to ra server. How often do you play in WoL and what is your in-game nick?Try this out.http://dune2k.com/forum/index.php?topic=15757.0And this.http://dune2k.com/forum/index.php?topic=15876.0If the prob still persists then find me on msn at:mcdid@msn.comand i'll try and help you out. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eid Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 hey spekkioas for the 'chat' room in ra's server ,uhh i dont actually think anyone uses it although i have had problems with entering,then clicking back, it times out or hangs...sometimes it works, most times it doesnti wouldnt bother using it, however if you click on the buddy list it will display all players currently online,dont try to modify it though it could cause a crash as ra's notes point out (that gives me ideas }:> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RA1024 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hey Spekkio,The server doesn't currently support the chat lobby so that's why it's locking up when you try to go there. None of us use that so it's just something I've never spent time coding support for. You can still chat in game and in the game lobby but the chat room is just not supported.Glad to have you join us,RA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
