Ghost Recon Online Problems

Seal89999 · April 1, 2003

Alright guys this is really a stumper and after efforts from myself and my other friend that is good at computers, i figured i should lay it on u guys and see if you had any suggestions.

Alright I have not been able to get Ghost Recon to work online. I have all the patches and full internet access. What happens when I try to start a game is.....

I log on to Ubi and get into the lobby. I find a game and go into it. It gets ready to start and ubi minimizes. The Ghost Recon screen comes up and acts like is going to load. The screen goes black and it goes back to the Ghost recon lobby. This happens everytime.

I have many other online games and they all work fine, no problems. This just stumps me I dont know what to do. I have tried to Re-Install the game, re-download the patches. I dont know what do you guys think. ???

Could you attach your dxdiag ?

Terror · April 1, 2003

well i don't know it either, Ghosthunter has exactly the same problem

Seal89999 · April 1, 2003

Ghost Hunter is the one who tried to help me. He has been able to play online and i have not. So its not the exact problem.

Actually, it is the same issue with me since my upgrade to XP, I'm to lazy to figure it out myself.

Have you tried other games on the Ubi servers? I personally do not like Ubi servers, though. We might be able to centralize the problem if you answer.

Nah man the only games on got that have Ubi are Ghost Recon and Ghost Recon; Desert Siege.

For future reference its not Ubi.com, my friend runs GR perfectly, in fact, hes playing it right now.

Also, I've never had any issues on it so I doubt its Ubi...

I know this thread isn't about me, just throwing some more reference points in..

Oh ok. And you can play single-player? I believe you can use an i.p. address and connect to a server that way in Ghost Recon right? Atleast, that's what you could do with every Rainbow Six game...

I was just seeing if it the conflict between your computer and Ubi servers. If it isn't, then it's a conflict between Ghost Recon and your computer. Centralization ;)

It seems that you problem is when it tries to connect to the server, because it does start the game as normal, but upon trying to connect and load, it goes back to the game menu. Do you have firewalls possibly blocking the connection? Are there any dedicated servers you might try that Ubi has (doubtful but worth a try)?

GhostHunter · April 2, 2003

I'll answer both of these..

Niether me nor Sardukar Elite have Firewalls that are effecting game playing. Espically not me. Issue seems to be with XP

Hey Doc you got any ideas?

Nyarlathotep · April 6, 2003

Apart from the fact that your drivers aren't up to date, have you tried playing it in compatibility mode ? If so, did it change anything concerning the problem ?

Terror · April 6, 2003

well, taddaa. i got myself ghost recon as well... it was almost free anyway and i though that a tactical shooter might be fun

anyway... i will try it online as well... the only problem being that the patch is 45 megabyte... but i'll get it..... somehow

GhostHunter · April 6, 2003

Added to the fact that you have to download TWO pacthes, 1.3 and 1.4 and ones 45 meg and the others about 5-7 ;D

gryphon · April 6, 2003

If you want a CD-r with the patches on them, let met know. :)

Seal89999 · April 7, 2003

Yo man were do i go to upgrade the drivers.

How do you get into compat mode?

Nyarlathotep · April 7, 2003

Video card drivers

Sound card drivers

As for compatibility mode, right click on the program you want to run and then select compatibility mode (could be proporties first).

Terror · April 9, 2003

oki doki... got it.. patched it to version 1.4 and updated my ubi lobby to the newest version. AND IT WORKED :D

it was kickass fun, anyway. So you patched to 1.4 and also updated your ubi lobby?

are you sure that you select the right game to join? a game that is compatible to your version? As not everyone has version 1.4 .

45 MB for a patch is ridiculous in my opinion. If it were for enhancements/additions to the game (new levels, characters, etc...) I can justfiy a large download, but a patch to fix bugs? Totally unsat.

Terror · April 9, 2003

well, who said it was to fix bugs? It's not that ghost recon had so many bugs.... in fact.. i hadn't discovered one yet.

it's truly hilarious online... well and scary. In every bush there can be a soldier.... And you can't discern them so easily... as my teammate had to experience ;D .

Just try what i did, i in--stalled and re-installed my ghost recon about 50 times befor UBI worked for me, but now it works, never did find out why it wouldent work when i first in-stalled it.
