Connection Interrupted [message #428923]

Back in 2006 I got a new computer, but I had lost my renegade CD code but recently a friend lent me his CD and his Code.

So I installed it and obviously couldn't play, but I found this forum and followed the steps, downloaded the patches, and rengaurd, and was very delighted to see the Advanced Game Listing finally pull up normally, with a few servers still bustling with life.

However, I'm still frustrated because even though I have a cable modem (2m,2m) and the game speed is around 100-125, every time I join a server, I join for about 1 second, then I've already lagged out and get the green message "Connection to server interrupted - gameplay pending".

I WAS able to stay connected to the Jelly server ONCE, but it seems to have been a fluke because now I can't get rid of this problem. Any solutions?

Do you know what your connection type has been set to? (It's on the top of the advanced game listings)

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Also you can set it to Auto, gives the highest speed at me, so try that, also see if there are anything blocking renegade.exe or game.exe of some kind

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.

This doesn't meet the minimum standards of spam.

Speed: 2M,2M bps.

And the first time I ran renegade, windows blocked it from going online, but I clicked "unblock" so shouldn't be able to connect to the net?

That means Windows firewall should be letting Ren through.

Start Ren.

Main Menu -> Multiplay Internet -> Westwood Online.

Move your mouse to the far left side of the screen, the side bar will appear.

Sidebar menu -> My Information.

On the menu that appears, change your "Connection" to "Lan/T1".

Press "Okay".

Login and play, see if that helps.

Didn't help. And it isnt the firewall either, it still happens even if I turn firewall off.

IDK if this is a factor or not, but when I join a game, it actually loads very fast. I barely even get to see the loading screen.
