Cant Play On Internet?

[DarkMarksman]

I played OFP at my friends house online, and when the game is launched it says "the countdown begins" then "wait for server" and then goes right into the side selection screen. On my machine it never makes it past the "wait for server" screen, why is that? Here are my system specs if it helps-
1.1 ghz t-bird
512 mb pc133
TnT2 m64 32 mb (with latest drivers)
20 gid hd
OpFlash with 1.10 patch and official upgrade
Now i now in the games i join i have the same version as the host, so what could be the deal? Please help!

Do you have a software firewall or a router with a built-in firewall? If so, you'll need to open up certain port ranges as per the FAQ:

Problem: What ports need to be opened in a firewall to play online?

Solution: Direct X will need port 47624 or 6073 tcp both outgoing and incoming
2300-2400 tcp both incoming and outgoing
2300-2400 udp both incoming and outgoing

Operation Flashpoint needs 2234 tcp both incoming and outgoing

get the verification-tool u can download here: ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/up/UltimateUpgrade_1_version110.zip ("]ftp://www.flashpoint1985.com/fp/CheckOFP_1_20.zip[/url]
run it, it should say you, that you opf.exe is invalid, if this is the case, take your user-folder to a save place, uninstall the game, delete the opf-folder, reinstall the game, install the ultimate update u can download here:

and don't (DON'T!!!) use a no-cd crack cause; it will activate fade. If it doesn't run after that measure write an e-mail to codemaster.
