Problem Connecting to F|A Servers

Recommended Posts

Hey there FAers,

 

Recently, my PC crapped out and have resorted to playing on a Macbook which is running the latest version of Mountain Lion (not Mavericks.)  As a technologically advanced person, it took me a little bit figuring out how to get ET running, but eventually figured it out. 

 

My problem happens on the loading screen to FA servers, and FA servers alone.  It involves a never ending cycle of downloading a bunch of squares, which is a really small file.  The problem is that it looks like it downloaded, and then it will continue to download it.  This also happened when I tried downloading Silent on Hardcore and Silent 1, except once it got down to the last couple of seconds of download time, it would crash my ET.  Luckily, I was able to download the file from the silent website, and it fixed that.  

 

Any help regarding the download of these squares.pk3 would be greatly appreciated as I enjoy playing on your servers as they are one of the last good North American servers left.

 

Thanks,

Motion

Thanks for the quick reply daredevil!

 

Unfortunately, it won't let me run it because it's Windows only :/  

 

Oops missed your OS. We don't have cross platform thing right now. Are u able to connect to silent mod servers?

Yes, just downloaded 0.8.1 for silent as well as I noticed hardcore changed versions.  I was actually just able to connect to Silent 1, and it was on stock oasis.  But when its a map I don't have, it does the square thing again.  Its weird because I can download maps from other servers without problems :S.

So every map start you get that square pk3 issue?

Yes, on all FA servers, not just silent.  For example, the square pk3 will start to download, and it will look like it completely downloaded, and then for a split second whatever map is currently on the server will show up on the download screen.  And then it goes back to the square, and then continues until I leave.  Only non-stock maps though.

@Dare -  Do you guys have an ftp index/redirect such as this http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/maps/etmain/ where he could manually download files?  Trying to explain things to motion will only give him (and yourself) a headache.

He can manually download maps from here: http://fearless-assassins.com/files/category/4-maps/ and add them into his ETMain folder.

 

Obviously he only needs to download the maps that are currently in the cycle.

 

I have done this method in the past, and it works fine.

We have FTP redirect.. but directory browsing is disabled on it due to security reasons.. 

 

http://redirect.dediserverhosting.com/etmain/frostbite.pk3

 

That link would work.. but if you do http://redirect.dediserverhosting.com/etmain/ it will show u nothing :) We use dediserverhosting.com redirect service.
