« on: January 25, 2008, 05:44:57 pm »

Do you have the correct ports forwarded, if you're behind a router?

Also, in the Meta section of that sfc.ini file, if the sections for your Gamespy account information(Name, Password, and Nickname) are blank, fill them in with the appropriate information.

Hello,
Make sure the Meta in Sfc.ini looks something like this

Meta]
Name=tilly@yahoo.co.uk
Password=des
MapName=Map4.mvm
TestPatchUtility=1
EmpireMapView=1
Nickname=john
MapDetail=0
NewsSort=0
BehindNAT=1
