Send a personal messsage to ShotGun Jolly

Hey Guys,

At my work I have several networks I can attach through, but the best one for me seems to be partially limited.

I can connect to the client and lobby easy enough. BUT when I go to register or Join an event. the "Register" button will never show, or if the event is in progress, the "Play" button will not show.

So, I am wondering if there maybe one of the ports that this uses 28001 may be an issue, so i am wondering if the can be any others to can try.

Thanks

Check to make sure you are running the client under admin mode. Right click on client and window pops up to make that selection.

Well, if I use my work laptop, I get the admin block when I go to run the exe. Still working on a work around for that.

when I use my own laptop on the network I get the issue I mentioned above.

I tried logging in on all the different ports, 28000 to 28030.

Game crashes each each time I log in, except when i use 28001 AND 28020. When I use 28020, I log into client, the port auto resets to 28001 but I have limited success. If I goto join an event in progress, it tells me it hasn't started yet.

I need to see if anything else uses those ports I guess.

turn off User Account Control, just hit F1 on the desktop for windows help and type UAC. This disabled the admin mode issue,

Alternatively, with a lot of games, if you install the game to a drive other then your system drive (usually C

then you never need to run as admin.
