can't connect to any tastyspleen servers anymore:( am i banned?

[Edgler Vess]

haven't been able to connect to any tastypspleen servers since early/mid december.  in gamespy they show not available anymore, and when direct connecting, it just keeps retrying..  i drink and play on occasion and wonder if i got banned for being an a$$!!  i miss playing, can't find any more servers without the wierd mods, that i can ping good on.. waaaa.

sounds like you have internet issues more then anything

[DWxchzrles]

no internet problem

problem resides with ID Software rather than game spy

that is what game spy says

my internet is working fine, and i tried connecting without gamespy also.. i saw a thread where someone got banned for not using anticheat and am wondering if that's what happened to me.  can't get riq2 to work though anyways..   sure miss these servers!!!!  hope we can figure this out..  and i'm also not using anyfirewall..just the tastyspleen servers in gamespy get the red x by them, and when direct connecting.. it just keeps retrying..saying nothing about being banned...

Strange.  I don't see anything in our ban lists that should overlap your IP.

What about east.tastyspleen.net?  Can you connect to any of those servers?  For ex:

  east.tastyspleen.net:27940   (jumpmod)

Can you connect to that one?


(Oh, also, make sure your name is something besides "Player", and make sure your skin is set to something valid, for ex. "male/grunt".)

can't connect to that one either.  it is strange how gamespy can't even refresh just the tastspleen servers though, it is before i even launch q2 and my player/model info.  i would think it would at least ping the server,  but it's as if the servers are not even there to me.  and if i launch q2 standalone and try to connect, it just keeps retrying, as if none of the servers exist.. all other non tastyspleen servers work!  Help Me Please!!

Hmm.  Are you able to ping the host systems from DOS?  For example, open a DOS box and try pinging tastyspleen.net and east.tastyspleen.net, like this:


C:\> ping tastyspleen.net

Let me know what results you get.  (You should be able to right click to copy/paste.)


Also, are you posting to the forums from the same computer that can't connect to the Q2 servers?
