Awaiting challenge (but not infinite)

Post by rip-e »

Hi all, i have a problem: when i am in "play online" no servers appear and my source is "internet". When i choose "connect to IP" and enter IP, i have this message "Awainting challenge" but it seems infinite ! Argh ! :shock:
When i use "All-seeing eye" it's the same message "Awainting challenge" ! :shock:
If someone can help me ! thank you ! :)

IF you dont c any servers when u go to play online then your firewall is blocking them hence why it is nearly impossible to join.you need to open up your ports or set et to allow in your firewall.. if its a hardware firewall you need to open up standard ports 20000- 27965 should do the job.
also if u turn off firewall u have to restart your net conection as it wont do it imidiatley

Man I think I had this problem once! IF only I could remember how to fix it. I think it was something to do with my firewall as well, just don't remember. I'll let ya know if it comes to me.

How many firewalls do you have? That is are u running an antivirus program that has 1. Both Norton and Trend Micro can give ET a fit. So just don't forget those firewalls if you have them. I noticed something, even if u turn norton firewall off it still treis to run and the only real way to shut it off is to uninstall just the firewall on it (assuming you want to keep the rest of norton).
I rode a tank and held a generals rank,
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.
I shouted out 'Who killed the Kennedys?'
When after all it was you and me.
Let me please introduce myself, Im a man of wealth and taste.
And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reached bombay.
Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name.
But whats puzzling you is the nature of my game.

maybe you should use a program like; pathfinderET or The All Seeing Eye(ASE) most of us use that, plus its way more easier then using favourites/server list imo

You may wanna try the Bani forums. I swear I remember this happening, I just don't know how I fixed it lol. But I'm pretty sure I may have asked on the Bani site, idk, but I'm sure they could help you.

yeah, even if its not an ETpro related thing, those guys practically invented the game so I'm sure they can tell you whats up. Also, from what I understand is you are now able to atleast axcess the Midnight Spikage server in a much faster fashion, but still not able to view the server lists? I don't see the problem, I mean why would you wanna play somewhere else? lol, j/k. We'll still keep trying to help you out bro.

Since I don't remember what I did I went to Bani's forums myself. lol still dunno wut I did but oh well. Here's some things I found just by doing a search on "Awaiting Gamestate":
dont go as far as re-installing the entire game from the cd....just re install the 1.41 patch. if that doesnt work then re install the 1.33 patch then the 1.41. that always fixes every problem i have with connectuions and such. its a quick fix. if you just re-install the patch, there is no need to backup your cfgs or maps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pb is fuxored because the master server is down.

You have to use rcon to do this (via ASE or the console):

pb_sv_guidauth 0

Try to reconnect.

More on this item found here:

http://www.punksbusted.com/forums/index.php?act=home

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awaiting gamestate crashes are generally punkbuster.
I'd look at these things, try some. If nothing works go to Evenbalance.com and send them a support ticket.

Another thing you might wanna try is going into your Main folder and deleting the CD Key. Then try connecting to a server and see if it works.
