fat teddy bear Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 hi guys, my problem started last night when I can''t open to any of FA servers. When i click on FA REcruiting or any other server buttons in the game, nothing happens. It just remains in the same page. I did not change any config or done anything to my laptop! it just stopped working! help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xernicus Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Heya,Make sure you're running ET as an administrator (http://www.dark-alchemy.com/wiki/index.php/Enemy_Territory_Configuration_files#Administrator_privilages), and then download and run our PK3 cleaner from here: http://fearless-assassins.com/files/file/374-enemy-territory-auto-pk3-cleaner/ That should solve the issue of the menu not working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xernicus Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hmmm.... what if you type /connect jay1.clan-fa.com? That should connect you to Recruiting. if not, then it looks like you've got a DNS issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipsy Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yes there is sometimes problem while connecting through F|A menu . Best is to know simple and easiest way to connect . Start ET , open console and type For jay1: /connect jay1.clan-fa.com For jay2: /connect jay2.clan-fa.com 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xernicus Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hmmm. Try opening your command prompt as an administrator, and typing "ipconfig /flushdns" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann!b@l Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Did anything changed on your pc lately? Like new firewall, antivirus, router or any other software\hardware. You could also download our pk3 cleaner and give it a try. Keep the re-installation of ET as a last resort. If it's not related to ET this might be useless and the problem still present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Can you provide a screen shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platonic Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Since it was solved for a moment, isn't there anything xern told you, you don't do anymore? Do you always run enemy territory as an administrator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ti Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Sounds like dns-issue...what xernicus said already. I have that too now and then. Just connect with the IP address then instead of the URL. (e.g. connect jay1.clan-fa.com:27960 -> connect 8.9.4.227:27960) Edited July 24, 2014 by S3ti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader RedBaird Posted July 25, 2014 Leader Share Posted July 25, 2014 ...so i asked buck and he said just to launch the game thru xfire.. somehow it actually worked!! weird! ... That is very interesting as I have read other posts here blaming xfire-launching for messing up their ET, etc..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
