Crash when starting from gamespy

[Intruder 14th]

I have a problem launching from gamespy, the Ofp banner pops up then b4 the game window opens it just crashes. Any ideas ? I can play offline and start the game anytime except from gamespy.

Are you running Zonealarm or anyother firewall software? Zonealarm did this same thing to me.

nope it starts fine normally just from gamespy. I think something with my Drivers?

For me zonealarm did it when trying to start a game online from gamespy. ***When ZA detected OFP trying to connect it would pop up it's little comfirmation dialog..just like it always does when you run a new (web accessing) prog. ***The only prob here was with OFP running the little confirm thing wouldn't pop up overlaying OFP...so I couldn't see it to press ok. ***Therefore it locked my system. ***Nothing to do but hard reboot. ***If you are running ZA shut it down when playing online/gamespy. ***See if that helps. ***

I ve reinstalled different video drivers, direct X 8,changed my desktop resolution and color quality. Also reinstalled Gamespy annnnd Operation Flashpoint. Same problem i get to the "Waiting for server" screen then BAM! crash to desktop. Help me, help me (fly).

You might give ASE (http://www.udpsoft.com/eye) a try. Far better and stable than GameSpy in my opinion.

yea time to stop using the kiddy Zone and use a real Gamers Tool like the EYE


lol

Well, seems like Im not the only one having problem with playing online. The Only difference is that my game do freez when coming to "wait for server". I have all the latest patches and I have closet my firewall (Norton personal firewall)... The strange thing is that it have worked a couple of times, but only a few... Can somebody please help me before I kick the game out of my computer and crash my CD???

Peace/Nemo

Silly question, I'm sure. Can you play SP?

[Intruder 14th]

Yes i can Single player and Multiplayer by ip but not the gamespy launched method. I havent been able to play an online game now for 3 days. Cant think what is different since then that would be causing this prob, I think it may be my Gforce drivers but i used 3 different versions. Sometimes when i crash my desktop changes to 1024x768 which im running in the game then right back to 800x600.
