Still having trouble connecting / can't connect to servers in JA


Relle

Recommended Posts

I think my last thread went out of retention. Okay. I'm still having problems connecting to the JA master server. I can only assume it's the master server, because when browsing the servers, they only appear as IP addresses. Attempting to connect to ANY server results in a message of: "Awaiting Connection..." So it's not a problem with any specific server.

 

I'm connected through a Linksys router with ports 29060-29081 opened in TCP and UDP, but nothing seems to let me stay connected very long. I'm guessing it's a problem on my end, because I haven't heard an uproar from other players about this. So, what can I do to fix this?

Try extending that to 29060-29099 (worked for me anyway)

 

Also see if there is a "DMZ" (specifically used for games) and open it up (turn it "on") with your router IP.

 

Also if you use any software firewalls, you'll need to open ports (or just disable, if it's ZoneAlarm) specifically for use by Jedi Academy.

 

If possible, upgrade the firmware or drivers on your router, sometimes they release fixes that allow game playing to be done easier.

 

Make sure also that you aren't using any cd cracks, as those can interefere with playing online.

First, check your jampconfig.cfg file in your base folder.

 

Make sure the line:

 

seta sv_master1 "masterjk3.ravensoft.com"

 

 

...appears. If it's not there, add it and save.

 

More things to try:

 

Do you have Zone Alarm? Turn it off.

 

Do you have Norton Internet Security/Firewall? Have it detect JAMP.exe and JAMPDed.exe (if you run a server) and set them both to "allow all."

 

Follow similar steps with other software firewalls.

 

Maybe you could try updating the firmware/drivers of your router or modem.

 

Other than that, I can't think of any other reason why you can't connect... it works for me and everybody else.

 

 

 

I guess your last option is to uninstall and then reinstall and re-apply the 1.01 patch and try again.

 

 

If all this fails, your ISP is probably to blame, and you should contact them and explain the problem. Perhaps their tech support can help...

I added that line to the config file. It worked for about thirty seconds, then I got disconnected again. I have Norton Internet Security, but the firewall's not active. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled, so the only thing left is my ISP. Hell.
