I reformat'd my hard drive and am in the process of reinstalling some games.

With Renegade, I installed the game, installed newest patch. Installed Renguard, installed core patch 2.

Version of game is shown as 1.037

Renguard opens and runs its checks, is happy and says click on Renegade to start playing. I click on the multiplayer, westwood, advanced game listing and get directed to the login page.

I cannot type in my old account, those options are "grey'd" out, I can only create new account. When I try to do this, I get the message unable to open page or path is invalid.

One thing I noticed during the Renguard checks is it says WOL account not found, login may fail.

How do I get my old account back, or create a new one to play using renguard.

I did this once before but must have missed a step along the way this time.

Thanks for your help

That link took me to a page with about 300 links to buying pharmaceuticals, ringtones, and insurance. Every search close to "registering for renegade" takes me back to this page Huh

Edit: found this on a search of these forums, but its old (2005) Would this link still help my problem?

No, that won't work. The APB FDS installer has the components you need. Just uncheck the FDS and check the components and install.

OMG!!

Alls it was is the fact that my password wasn't 8 characters!

The login link lit up once I typed the eighth character. GRRR Angry

I think I read that "easy steps to reinstall" section 20 times without seeing the 8 thing.

Thanks for your help

I should have skimmed over the thread again before posting, I was thinking of another thread when I posted that. Blush

That's the problem with a wiki: it sometimes gets abused. That page did normally contain your answer Sad. Glad u found the rpoblem.
