Hi all...
I play ra3 since ra3 exist and now from about 3-4 days i have this
problem: strangely when i try to connect to a server it says me
"awaitng challenge" for about 5-6 minutes and then, sometimes, it
connects. Now i have to reconnect about 10 times and waiting several
minutes every reconnect before beeing able to connect.

I always played with the same configuration and hardware and the
"awaiting challenge" sign last about 1 second and then the game start.

Someone can help me? :-(

Thx in advice


Lucco.

You could try this,it works for some people when this happens.
search windows for file called "hosts" and open it in a text editor.
then add ther line: 127.0.0.1 authorize.quake3arena.com.
(back the file up first in case of any mistakes)
