new comp.....
« on: April 19, 2009, 06:06:59 PM »
ya i now play on a new comp that i love but there is a problem.... i only get 4 pages of servers instead of like 45-52..... can anyone help....?
Regardless as an adult I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone , especially an adult would take the time to type totally useless and offensive language in a server that is bound to have minors in it. I would imagine that you do not do that in front of minors in normal day to day life, so why do it in a server that you absolutely know it is not allowed in and most likely you are swearing at or in front of young children. -BFM_Nrvend


Thanks for my first sig Miser!

Are your filters set correctly?

If your filters are correct then it's probably GameSpy.

I think I get it.

He says if all else fails, try an uninstall/reinstall. Am I right?

PLEASE do NOT suggest "uninstall/reinstall" as the FIRST course of action in any problem....

It should only be used after "less severe" measures are taken first, since "Un-/Re-install" CAN cause problems itself. (Most often missing in-game text....)

Anyway...

The Halo GameSpy lobby is on death's door, and is no longer a very reliable way to look up games.  Keep that in mind while you try the things listed above to DISABLE any possible server filtering that might have gotten enabled.

After that, try comparing your Lobby results with someone else (in chat, or voice) and see if it really IS different....   (I.e Don't trust what you EXPECT to see in the Lobby!)
