Gamespy error page in Windows Vista

[herbius]

A while ago I tried to connect to NF servers through Gamespy Arcade. I created acount and everything seemed to go fine until I got to the Nightfire page and clicked on the "Servers" button, which gave me a HTTP 404 page. I tried re-installing but was unable to log in with my old profile and had to create a new one in XP Compatibility mode (good old Vista ). Once again, I got a HTTP 404.

Is this something to do with Vista or my laptop? I can connect through NF fine, just wondering about GS.

if you havnt noticed, vista sucks, mega hard. you will get some problems with vista and gsa, you have to do some port forwarding i think..

This problem is to be resloved in 2 posibilities
1Talk to some NF members in MSN or any instant messaging and tell them to meet you Helpers Lobby so you could add them to your playerspy list and then you will join through them by click the James Bond Nightfire under their names
2.If you are running Vista and unable to enter lobbies due to a 'Page cannot be displayed error', try this workaround: http://www.forumplanet.com/gamespyarcad ... id=2032622. Also, make sure Arcade is running as 'administrator' by right clicking on the 'GameSpy Arcade' icon on your desktop then 'run as administrator.' You might have to enter your Windows account password. All other features in Arcade should still work.
Good luck

I have used GSA in Vista and it shows about 10 error messages before joining a chat (through clicking JB:NF lobby link on any playerspy friend). It worked sometimes, but it's not very effective.

I still can't guess why GSA does not get adapted to the new OS anyway lol.

EDIT: I've just changed the topic name as this issue happens only in Vista.

maybe go and get xp? (its a lot better anyway..)

also, try gamespy helpers if you can get in, theyre actually have some info on vista problems i think.. they wont just tell you to reinstall gsa ;z

Soz, I hadn't looked at this thread in ages, I forgot it was still active(ish).

Thanks for the tips, just looking at the forum post (link) now.

Edit: Useful, I may try it out later. Thanks a lot!
