Hey, Do you use a router? I'm taking a guess here, go to www.portforward.com and port forward..

If you don't use a router, Try reinstalling Renegade and it should work.

Was you able to download the patch by any chance?


Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

hey thanks for trying to help, but im not really sure what a router is, but my guess is i dont have one. i have wireless internet which i get from a min computer connected to the cable. my gguess was it was my mcafee anti virus so i disabled it, and when connecting to the internet the mouse moved a lot faster and stuff but after time it still froze. i can play every other game online, and i can play single player renegade so i guess it has something to do with anti virus or something i dont know. but no it doesnt give me the option to download any patches. if you have any other ideas for me id apreciate it, thanks, or if anyone else reading this please help me i wanna play Sad

Seems like a firewall problem to me. Did you check if windows firewall is on? If so, try putting it off.

Seems like the traffic to connect is getting blocked. This often creates a 'crash like'-situation. You should launch the game in windowed mode (run wwconfig.exe and select windowed mode) so u can force it to close when it 'crashes'. This will also allow you to see possible firewall block messages.


You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

That's what I thought, but then I read through again and read this:
