Westwood Online/Renegade Problem

Recommended Posts

I haven't been able to connect to WOL through Renegade for about a week now. From the two screen shots below you will see my problem...

That displays then this.....

I've checked all the settings for Renegade, my computer, my firewall program (ZoneAlarm). Reinstalled Renegade but nothing improves it. No use contacting my ISP either because they don't support online gaming services such as WOL.

I searched EA's tech support site to, nothing of any use there.

 

If it were a problem with WOL being down you would have heard other reports about it by now.

 

Anyone have any suggestions or seen this problem before?

Yeah it still doesn't work, 2 weeks and counting now. :cry:

 

I posted my problem at http://www.renegadeforums.com but I didn't get much help :(

I did do a search of those forums and found that this problem has affected other people but I found nothing to help me fix it. It seems to be strange bug that effects WOL.

 

What I find hard to understand is the fact that WOL/Renegade Online has worked problem free for me since I started playing Renegade online back in April 2002 and now its decided to crap out on me :confused:

Well i can get on with renegade at the moment so it aint wwol, maybe it could be your DSL server. Its happened to me before my DSL ic went down and i could only surf the web. All the wwol servers didnt work for about a month.

 

And yeh it could be a firewall if youve got one, but if aint aint affected your gaming before then i dunno.

 

I know how it feels when you cant get on your favorite game :(

 

so you ant alone!

 

ill look out for anything that might help you out, but i dont know nothing at the moment....

Could be a changed setting in the firewall, though that would be a bit strange all of a sudden.

Have you used XWIS to play RA2/YR recently?

No, I've never used that at all.

 

I've also installed Renegade on another computer and tried getting online and I got the same problem so that would have to rule out the idea of it being my own computer.

 

It has to be some screwed up bug with WOL. Do I dare (or even bother) e-mailing EA Tech Support? :worried::look:

That won't help because I need to be able to connect to WOL to enter a new username and password.

 

This problem has effected other people. I searched the forums at http://www.renegadeforums.com and found that other people reported the same bug, can't connect then operation timed out. I tried all the suggestions posted in the topics But nothing worked.

 

What I need is for someone who lives New Zealand to check and see if they can connect to WOL, then I can find out if its something to do with my ISP.

Do you have a friend who lives near you who plays Renegade online?

No one that lives close to me. Like I said before I need someone who lives New Zealand who uses a different ISP to check and see if they can connect to WOL, then I can find out if its something to do with my ISP.
