Host Connection Lost?
« on: November 07, 2005, 01:51:27 AM »
Just DL'd the other day to check on where AH2 is and installed and played offline no problem.  I created an account and tried to login in to the servers.  I get the arena menu no problem but when I try to join I get "Host  Connection Lost" immidiately.  The Traceroute using the program the FAQ mentions looks great.   I have a Linksys router and did forward the proper ports  (2000-5000).. Have had no issues with any other online game with this setup...Any ideas?

The problem had been solved for several hours before you made this post.

Check the version number of the game you have installed.  It must be "Version 2.05 Patch 3" or later to be able to connect to our arenas.

shouldn't the auto-updater take care of that?

maybe a firewall issue?

The auto-updater will not function for older versions, due to the switch in ISP's.
