Leader RedBaird Posted July 20, 2015 Leader Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Somebody else had that problem recently. http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/73300-awaiting-connection/ Other suggestions found: 1) Delete all pk3 files in etmain (similar to DD's "delete folder") 2) "if it doesnt help, open C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add 192.246.40.62 etguidauth.evenbalance.com " 3) "The problem can be solved with "pb_sv_guidauth 0" for now". (from back when EvenBalance was having a problem with updates). Edited February 24, 2021 by RedBaird out of date in 2020 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiemonster912 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) 2) "if it doesnt help, open C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add 192.246.40.62 etguidauth.evenbalance.com " would it be the ip for the server or your own ip ?

ADDED: OIC now that the original topic is from 2015, maybe that is why the ip-address discrepancy! I copied that from elsewhere and I think that it is outdated now. I do remember seeing that "etguidauth.x.x" years ago, but I don't see it in my just-started-ET condump now. It should have been for the server-ip. That IP does not respond to pings now. PunkBuster quit supporting ET several years ago and DareDevil says that we can just uninstall it these days. F|A does not use it or require it, not like the "old days". Some non-FA servers may still require it. The quote has what I see in my console nowadays when I start my ET.

That "45.56.97.81" is assigned to Linode.com , which provides various 'cloud computing' services and is said to be cheaper than Amazon AWS. I do not know what the (17) is for at all! 😄 I should probably /lock this old topic, but someone else may have a similar problem in the future I should look at an old 'full' condump to check for any changes in the last 6 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
