The London Allstar Posted May 22, 2006 Report Posted May 22, 2006 Ok guys i want to race ukdirt, but before i pay i want too see if i like online racing, so i am trying banger racing i nthe free leagues. I go to connect to a mulitplayer game and get "waiting for reply" for about a minute, then the wondow closes and nothing happens. My firewall settings are set so that the game has full access to the internet ect. I cannot work out what it is that could be stopping the game connecting Any help much appreciated Im using nascar heat essentials by the way
The London Allstar Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Posted May 23, 2006 Ok there is something different starting to happen the last few times i have tried, and that is instead of the waiting for reply window just closing, it says "host did not respond" and i have to close it manually anyone help, serious im all outta ideas
Kruiz 136 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 I have tried to set up a private server many times before but every tme i do i get that too, but never in my trial priod did it happen so i would like and answer to this aswell please.

venom Posted May 28, 2006 Report Posted May 28, 2006 yer i get the same thing even if its an original server i cant get on any help ppl??
The London Allstar Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Posted May 29, 2006 mine is sorted now, if you launch your game, go into options, what number do u see in the bottom right hand corner it needs to be 1.72e, before i had 1.80 thats probs your problems aswell
venom Posted May 30, 2006 Report Posted May 30, 2006 its 1.72e i checked i can see wats rong mi firewall accepts the game and everything like that i havent entered ip address rong, its so frustrating
The London Allstar Posted May 30, 2006 Author Report Posted May 30, 2006 Ok get someone to host a server, or use the Uk dirt server (if you have paid) and turn all your firewalls off and try like that, that wll tell you if it is your firewall holding it up or something else
wrighty496 Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 its 1.72e i checked i can see wats rong mi firewall accepts the game and everything like that i havent entered ip address rong, its so frustrating hi venom, just a quickie, make sure your firewall is set to allow nascar heat to access the internet AND to act as a server (this isnt to say you're setting to be a server, 'set to act as server' means that data can be sent out as well as received in).....'waiting for reply' is the game awaiting a return ping from the server you're trying to reach, so if 2-way access hasn't been applied for heat.bin (the game file) then you'll not get a server connection. Best wishes, hope you get sorted.......Wrighty
