parsing server info... desktop

[Scottc]

This patch. I reinstalled everything, it goes to Parsing server info, then it goes straight to desktop. On Every Map.

 

[Lewie]

Same problem, my MS:C has slowly degenerated. At first it worked great, then I couldn't make my own server, and now after the patch, I cannot connect to any server at all. Crash-To-Desktop everytime.

 

[dRkILL]

From what I've heard, the patch has a problem with listen servers. That is being worked on.

 

[Scottc]

What is a listen server? How can I make it... not a listen server?

 

[Khorney]

i get this problem too, and it doesn't seem to have been throughly addressed in the sticky thread. ive been waiting for this mod, loaded it up, and crashes every time at server parsing. the closed ive come to playing is when the hud (health and mana thingy) appeared, and then crashed to the desktop. ive tried joining servers, creating my own, changed resolution, texture depth, changing to software, which ctd with an error message :roll:. i havent tried d3d, so that'll be next go. ive played the original master sword and it was great, and apart from the inevitable random crashes it had (helena etc...) it worked fine on my computer. oh and ive also tried it with transparencies and refelctions and high quatlity models on and off to no avail.

and heres a copy of my server log when i created it if thats any help to you.

i had the problem in the 1.0 but joining from the steam server menu fixed it... if this new version is causeing it i dunno then.

 

[Too Short]

ya i have the same problem as khorney

 

[SuperNova]

this might be a totally diferent problem then i had but this is how i fixed it. It used to say parsing server info and then crash to desktop just like you explained. My problem was in video settings make sure its on openGL and not D3D. It gave me an error once saying that MS can not run in D3D mode. So check that.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

i get this same problem, except instead of at parsing server info
i crash at parsing game info....

this happens when i try and create a lan server, and whenever i connect
to a net server

does someone know how to fix this? is there a patch i need?
ive already installed 1.01-test

 

[Too Short]

i wish ppl would stop sayin stuff about video settings... its auto on opengl thats the last problem i would have..

 

[Khorney]

i have a theory that it maybe your video card, as mine is quite shoddy and since the mod requires new opengl effects which werent used in reg HL (im guessing). although, i can run quake3 engine games fine(for example), so i doubt that, buts its an idea. if the mod can function without the openGL extensions, could someone realese a patch or tell us how we can disable them?

 

[Too Short]

right im using a onboard video card on my motherboard so it isnt the greatest, but i can play half life2 so i dont see what ms:c has thats so much better...

 

[Wolfhound]

I really doubt it's the video card, I have a 128 MB Radeon 9700, if that's not good enough to play a hl1 based mod... wow.

HL2 runs smoothly for me.

I think it's just that you can't have a listen server with the new patches (I haven't tested the newest).

 

[Davatar]

It's good to keep in mind that his project is, for all intents and purpose, in a "public beta" stage. We have a relatively small Dev team, whom all have real lives, and are working on this for free. (I'm sure that people donate to the cause, but the mod = free therefore they aren't getting much money.)

If you are having problems with new patches that can't be resolved, revert to previous versions for the time being.

As far as I know all these patches only affect the server, so if you aren't running your own server don't bother patching, and if you have trouble on patched servers try connecting to servers running older versions.

It seems that the newest patch is listen server compatible. So, download the patch as well as the two *.dll files at http://www.msremake.com/patches.php

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

Davatar are you a developer?

 

[Davatar]

No, but I'd offer my abilities without hesitation had I any. =/

I'm a CNET student playing with linux/MS:C. I'll be building a newer system in a couple weeks and plan to start testing a linux-based MS:C server then.

 

[Khorney]

just so you know, new client side patch fixed everything, great mod by the way! one thing, i can seee the lighting jump between the 1st person cameras hands, but thats a minor thing, just thought you might want to know

 

[Too Short]

well i downloaded the patch and both dlls and only made it so instead of crashing right b4 i can get in game i crash at parsing info... for listen servers and joinging games
