Quick play no longer works. Via advanced game listing you get the list of servers. If you join big servers, you'll just disconnect because your dial connection is too slow to handle the information you're getting. Try joining in a server with 10 players max.

Putting up your own server will not attract any player, you're better off trying to join an existing one.

Not helpful, Kimb, because he's using stock renegade.

Your screen will look more like this:



Renguard is a wonderful initiative

What error message do you get when you try to join a server?

Well the thing about that is, I don't exactly get an error message.
It goes like this: I click on a server I want to join, and then the "Join game" button isn't lit anymore. I click the "join game" button and nothing happens. This happens with all the servers. and i can't tell how many people are in one at a time it's a little confusing.

Oh! that attachment makes it so much easier to explain!
So, you see where the circles are different colors?
Mine are all red, every single one.
And you see how the number of players is like...in the teens?
mine are like in the millions....How am I supposed to join then?

Since it's impossible for a Renegade server to have more than 127 players something must be wrong with your installation of the Westwood Online Components. Try re-running the installer but only ticking the box for the WOL components when it asks which items to install.

this sounds like a problem i had a year or so ago do you have the patch? is the Westwood online Shared internet components installed with renegade installation? do you have correct maps? im currently looking for the post i made about something similar..

edit: I found the post and remember what i had seen but did not explain on the forums what i did was reinstalled the game using these steps sorry if this does not work but it is what i had to do when i encountered this
