I searched around a bit and didn't have much luck looking for my specific issue, probably something simple I'm missing here. Anyhow, my friend and I both installed ballistics, in the specified order and want to play each other via a listen server. It loads up the packs extremely slowly, due to my slow upload speed, and then just says "Connecting" or starts downloading a part of it over again. Is there something simple I'm missing here or do I have to just let it keep going? Doesn't look like it's gonna work regardless. We just want to play some BW Onslaught and BW CTF since ballistics pretty much is ALL we use anymore, haha. Also, I am using a router but I have everything port forwarded correctly and this is Vista 32bit connecting to his XP 32bit. Thanks for any help, guys. |

Hey and welcome! If you have a router of any sort, did you port forward? If you need help port forwarding, I fould a useful site for such stuff. http://portforward.com/routers.htm Check it out if you do have a router. |

Yeah, I've got all 3 of the required port ranges forwarded on my Netgear, I don't think that's the problem unfortunately. It was initially since my router changed my IP from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.3 but I fixed that already. If my friend wasn't such a numbnut, he could host from his end. But I take it this is normal? If it does ever manage to load, will I have to do it for each map or what? |

Hello! 
well, i'm not experienced in networks in ut2004, but I had a proble in LAN where one of my computers couldn't enter(it stayed in that connecting screen). I had to delete some server packages(mostly to mods that I don't used anyways). but i don't think it's the problem you're having... which mutators you're using? |

Let's see, I disabled everything except ballistics sprint, and I also have a bunch of custom characters if that could be causing anything. Removing those would be a big pain but I guess I could do it if I have to. |

The game works without any mutators? with only the default game? |

No, I tried and it does the same thing, it seems to load the ballistics packages then just does nothing haha. Have you ever done a listen server successfully? If so, did you just have to wait on the packages to download fully? |

you install .zip or .umod? IF you installed the .zip, you'll have to create the ServerPackages (the umod does that itself). Make sure BW is installed to the right place. We use listen all the time, and the only problesm that occur are either serverpackages, diffirent versions, or missing files. If installed right, you shouldn't have to wait for any packages to download when joining. BTW are you hosting or joining? |

Thanks for getting down to what I was looking for guys, I installed via the .umod, my friend has done the same (A few times, actually,) then he did the .zip. I always host, and when he does connect, it's successful but yeah, it starts downloading ballistics sound effects for some reason then just goes to "connecting" like I didn't port forward. I know I have the ports correct, though, because I host listen servers between us all the time for the Killing Floor TC mod. Maybe I should just install ballistics completely clean again? Or possibly even reinstall Unreal?

Well, as a small update, I reinstalled all ballistics weapons packs and so did my friend. We installed all the Junk Wars stuff as well, and low and behold soon as he connects, it begins downloading ballistics sounds off me again. I guess I'll just give up on it and stick to Killing Floor only between us. I do appreciate the help though. Edit: Also, when I try to play even normal onslaught now, his computer tries downloading the ballistics files off me. I disabled ALL mutators and made a regular ol' listen server in normal Onslaught. As before, I'm always hosting as well. This is weird. |

he installed it correctly? |

Yes, though he did install the junk wars patches without installing junk wars beta. I had him go back and install junk wars and patch it up to the current version. |
