Darkrul3r Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 When i go to play a game, it gets to the part that says "connecting" then it goes back to my desktop, Any suggestions on why?
rigel6669 Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 Did you install any new software/programs since the last time that it worked fine.I got that problem before with those stupid advertisements/popups which resulted in leaving my game and going back to the desktop :-
gryphon Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 About which game are we talking here . .Dune Emperor I presume ?Connecting is related to internet gaming ?Does the game work in single player mode, and over a LAN and did it always do this or has it recently started to display this error ?How are you connected to the Net, directly or via a router. And do you have a firewall that could prevent you from playing online.Last, could you attach a copy of you direct X file. . . it could help us in finding any drivves errors on your system.:)
Darkrul3r Posted April 28, 2003 Author Posted April 28, 2003 Its EBFD, when it gets passed the first connecting part, it gets to the very end when it says "loading game". I have not installed anythng new. i dont have a firewall. and yes it works on single player. i would attach a diret x, but i dont know how to :(
Nyarlathotep Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 The attach option seems to be gone.Make sure you've updated all your drivers.Apart from anything you may have newly installed sofware wise, did anything else change since the problem occured ?When you try to play EBFD, make sure all background programs are closed, like virus scanners.[Edit]You can attach files again when you reply.[/Edit]
Ice_Cube Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 i would attach a diret x, but i dont know how to :(To attach a dxdiag, go into run and type "dxdiag". Then click on 'save all information' and attach the .txt document.
Darkrul3r Posted May 3, 2003 Author Posted May 3, 2003 i finally got it working, i deleated a few things and re-installed it, thanks anyway!
