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.

hi

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. ***

You might give ASE a try. Far better and stable than GameSpy in my opinion.
