Can't Enter Dueling Arena

[Archito]

Whenever I try to log into the dueling arena the game freezes up for about 10 seconds and then sends me back to the login, any idea whats going on?

Could be a couple of things.

1)  Try turning off any preload options in the game's "Video Settings", then try and connect.
2)  Could be a port being blocked by your ISP, local firewall, or router.  Some ISP's actually block specific ports that happen to be ones we use.  They claim it is an effort to block P2P clients.

If you can connect to the Orange, or Allied versus Axis arenas, then I would say it is probably #2 as those other arenas are on the same server, just different ports.

May be related to this...

I suddenly have considerably dfferent ping times between arenas:



206.16.60.39 is like always, but the others (.41 and .38) have not only a higher ping but a higher variance as well.

I just did two quick traces to .39 and 41 - both seem to be pretty identical on their hops through GErmany until reaching the United States (.washington1.level3.net)

Corrupt DA Map file maybe?

If so, go to the downloads page from the home page and redownload the dueling arena map.

Stranger things have happened before.
