I have a really weird problem... :/ I can't seem to find or connect to FA beginners #3 on my laptop.

 

I installed the game into my laptop again through steam  so I can at least pop in, view demos,  or check servers at night >.<

 

When I open the master server list I get most servers. I can even see softcore beginners, killhouse 24/7 broadcast...

 

But no FA Beginners. When I try to connect with the IP it times out. Even adding IP to my favorites shows only the IP name and not the server name. I have no idea what to do. -.-

Oh well... time for you to start playing Softcore than, I guess :D

Connecting to the other server with the same IP works? Did you run a winmtr against the IP?

Posted

I can connect to other servers fine. >.<  Beginners refuses to show up in master list. I even tried connecting through xfire.. and I get timed out.

Im guessing it'll just take a little bit of time for the Master List to populate fully and include it... likely you'll see it in there eventually, just give it a bit of time and try again.

Did you patch this install to 1.7?

 

Steam's version is automatically installed as 1.7. She's also able to connect to Softcore.

Posted

Nope :/  It's Steam. It's automatically downloaded as the latest patch. 

 

And yes.. I just tried softcore, killhouse and broadcast 24/7 and all three connect no problem. 

 

This is super weird. I'm currently reinstalling the game and steam. >.< Also... nice to see punkbuster no longer works. <_<

Before Evenbalance stopped support for COD4 there was a way to do a successful Pb install for it. Might still work, but haven't needed to check it yet.

YAY. 

 

I think I got it now!!

 

Roaming the internets I found a post that someone said it could be port or firewall issue. So I turned off firewall...and...noooothing. So I looked into the port forwarding thing and wanted to give it a shot. Sadly neither sid or I remember the login or password for our wireless router so we wound up having to reset the entire thing and re-setup our internet itself. I saw the section where I could mess with ports, but I checked cod4 first and POOF! Now Beginners shows up and I can get on ^^

 

Thanks for the helping me figure this out ^^ Hopefully this might help someone else in the future. :)
