DhalgrenJedi Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 When I join a server I am randomly dropped within the first 30 seconds (sometimes immediately on connect) and get the following: CL_ParsePacketEntities: end of message sometimes CL_ParseServerMessage: illegal server message I assume that something is wrong with my network setup, anyone have any ideas? Other games work fine, including Q3A. No I don't use a Router of any kind. My ethernet card is Realtek 8029 based and drivers are current. -- K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC - Exar Kun Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 I have heard of allot of problems with servers not refreshing.... DSL problems... Cable problems.... Network game problems And all of these have one thing in common WINBLOWS NETWORKING Try updating to the latest software or drivers for your Modem, NIC, Router and also your MAINBOARD Or whatever else you may have. See if that solves the problem... If that doesn't work you are most likely running a firewall somewhere.... ( Either software firewalls, or some routers, switches, and hubs have them installed on a chip inside it and are hardware controlled through the driver ) Try re-configuring your firewall and opening some extra ports.... Also try searching the Microsoft web site for for networking updates, patches, etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
