UT3 Online match problem

[Snipe343]

I cant connect, ive had this game for about 2 weeks and have not been able to play online, what should i do i have already reinstalled it twice.

[Cold Storm]

Can you get screen shots of the problem?

[Snipe343]

it says connection failed do you really need a screen?

[Cold Storm]

No. I was just asking for the fact that it might have something else attached to it.
hows your network setup?

[Snipe343]

Im hooking into a wireless router but im wired to it, no other computers at the moment WEP protection is that what you wanted?

[Snipe343]

I also do think its anything to do with my internet because i can play all my other games online

[Cold Storm]

yeah, what type of cable modem are you hooked with? the only thing I can even think of is that the speed of your internet isn't fast enough.. I know it sounds stupid, but I just don't get it.
is your password and user name right? I know it would say invalid but just to ask..

[Snipe343]

Yes and its umm cabledsl i think i think its fast enough i mean i play wow all the time and GoW and Crysis

[Cold Storm]

and the lag isn't bad?

[Snipe343]

wait now that i think will your beta usure name and pass work because thats wht im using No lag at all really exept for graphic wise freezes sometimes but thats nothing to do with my internet

[Cold Storm]

that will only work with the fact if you buy it through them... then they can transfer your account

[Snipe343]

Oh ok well ill make a new account then?

[l3fty]

Winblow's firewall blocks UT3 initialy. Did you get a pop up asking you about it when you installed? If so what did you tell it to do? (ie: keep blocking, unblock or ask later) I'd check that first.

Also, did you create an account? Sounds like you might not haven't logged in. Which you need to do to play online.

[ktr]

Did you install the patch?

[Cold Storm]

yeah, a lot of times if you have a beta account and then just go out and buy the game the account doesn't work.

[Snipe343]

no luck

[Snipe343]

yes i did the 1.1 patch right firewall is also off cept the fact that windows defender was on, well it wasnt blocking anything and yes i have a account

[Cold Storm]

then do you have firewall on and going?

[Snipe343]

no it is off that was one of the first things i did

[Cold Storm]

yeah, sorry i was posting while you said that... another stupid question to ask... I don't know when the patch came out so did you have the patch right when you started playing?

[l3fty]

I know it sounds strange but others with Asus boards are having similar isues. Try the latest lan drivers for your mobo. If you have a pci lan card? I'd try putting that in to see if that the problem.

[l3fty]

I know for a fact there's a few key gens out there and, your key might have been used already. Since you've only had the game for 2 weeks. I'd contact Epic to obtain a new key. There much better about these things than say... Valve. <- F'ers

Sorry but I really think this is probably your problem.

OH and BTW. If it's not a legit copy. (I'm not saying that it isn't.) You won't be able to play online.

The legit copy thing isn't true. Someone I know has a cracked version of it and he's able to play online with no problems. Seen it with my own eyes.

[Snipe343]

lan drivers?

[Cold Storm]

he means the fact of have you updated your drivers for your lan driver aka ethernet driver... If there is ethernet on a mobo its called lan port.
Lan=ethernet.

[Snipe343]

I know that(how do you think we came up with lan partys) but would it involve me updating my bois?

[Cold Storm]

well, alot of times, the lan card needs to update for new things. it doesn't need any type of bois update. Just look and see in your hardware connections if it needs to update hardware. and try asus's website... When was the last time you updated your board?

[Snipe343]

the bios on it or just any update? well for ether not sence i got it

[Cold Storm]

I'd go to asus and check for all your updates for your board... I'd check for updates on your board at lease every 3 to 4 months..
Just do it for your lan. Then later on update it all.
