just reinstalled openra

Post by Polaris »

Just got back into the game. Anyone else know how to solve the bug where the servers always show the same games/number of players despite restarting the game several times the bug is there and I cant see new games.

Basically I cant refresh the servers, always look the same

I've no idea, but that's strange as it's clearly making some connection if some information is getting through.

If my connection goes bad it normally refuses to load anything at all.

Apologies for asking, but you're on the most recent release yes?

Hey Eskimo

Yea, I just downloaded the whatevver one is available online yesterday, thought maybe someone may have had the same issue.
Once I load the game and see the servers/players in those games no matter how many times I refresh or reload the game it still shows the same players/games available as the first time I logged in so never updates.
Kinda annoying cus I cant see any new games made.

Are you on a normal home internet connection, or is this using some kind of shared corporate or university network?

I had this problem along time ago. My virus protection was accountable. I disabled my Avast re installed RA as administrator and it was fine. Maybe worth trying something similar.

If that's the case see if your antivirus has a gaming mode and can allow you to add it to its list manually.

I installed openra onto a new partition with new windows and no antivirus and run in administrator, still same issue.

Thx for the replies

I will still be able to create games tho so not a total loss & will keep practicing to be king of RAGL one day
