Ok, after another format Rolling Eyes

it seems I can only play with the F6 stats showing.
If I turn F6 off, my ping goes through the roof, 700-1400 and I constantly get the red icon and a horrible pause of 2-4 secs every 2-4 secs.

Strange thing is, if I turn F6 stats back on, it goes away. Confused

my ping stays steady at about 150ish which is still double it used to be
but acceptable.

Any ideas? Im not really expecting any, but someone might have heard it before.

Hi Leebe

I don´t know where your trouble come from:(
But i have had the same after i have installed UT-Pure58 in my UT.INI
This program configured my UT new.
So i have had a wrong configure in my UT!
You must have a look in UT - Preferences - Network!!!
By me - i must have LAN it was "Modem" installed, so if I played Online i have had the red Connection icon all the time and a bad ping too.
After i set the right thing LAN it works:)
I hope this will help you. Smile

Yeah I tried all the settings redman, none of them worked.

I did however find out what it was.
When I reinstalled everything, I kept my UT folder.
So I deleted all my UTPure files and all Zeroping files.
Now it works ok Very Happy

I still dont know why it would work if I pressed F6, but it works, so im happy Very Happy

Hmm I don't completely understand what you guys are saying.. leebe: is the problem you described fixable by removing all UTPure and ZP files from the system dir?

Or are you permanently stuck in F6 land

I thought id fixed it when i removed Pure and re-downloaded it.
But I was wrong Sad

It was ok for 1 map then it downloaded another file VAHandler58.u i think and now I have to press F6 again to play.
Very weird Crying or Very sad

There is a new one out utpurerc59.zip

Fixes a small bug related to fall damage, which i've noticed a few times.

Ok, it seems I have fixed it now.
I tried it without zonealarm and it worked ok, with it I was still getting those pauses unless F6 stats were showing.
So I removed Zonealarm and put on Norton Firewall and now it works ok Confused

Weird..

Yeah ive used zonealarm for about 2 years now and never had a problem with it.
I just got a Radeon9700pro so I did a full format of my os and reinstalled everything.

Then copied my UT folder that I'd backed up over the top of the one id reinstalled. I did try reinstalling ZA, a few times, and different versions.

I think its weird how it was ok with the F6 stats showing Confused

btw for UT the radeon is no better than a GeForce4 Sad
