Unable to connect for version checking ?
« on: September 13, 2010, 10:53:50 AM »
I logged out this morning after playing for awhile, and when I tried to reconnect it gave me the error message "unable to connect for version checking, please check firewall settings."

So I did, and everything is fine. So, I turned the firewall off completely, and I still get this message...now there's no firewall running at all (which makes me nervous).

Anyone else run into this?

I did yesterday. After I checked all my router & firewall settings (which were fine), it suddenly worked again after ~15 minutes.

Thanks Lusche, guess I'll go do something else for awhile and see what happens.

We were doing some small server upgrades, hence the window of downtime that occurred this morning.

lol. Had this same issue. I ended up reinstalling the game, which, I guess, finished just as everything was working again! What a coincidence.

If you are having this problem now, it is either a firewall on your computer, or in your router, or it is a general routing issue over the Internet.

Maybe punkbuster needed to be restarted on the server.

Windows firewall should be in control panel.

I'm having the same problems after shutting down firewall and all virus protection.  I switch to DSL and so I have a new router (that I can't control). That might be the problem.  I got rid of the "unable to connect for version checking" by downloading the new program and doing a clean install, but it crashes as soon as it trys to open an arena.

Back into the game after almost two years, (some cancer ack) I am facing the "Unable to connect for version checking" while trying to go "online" All the replies from last year speak of firewall settings and router settings. I have truned off all my known firewall settings but have no ability to change any router settings. Change them to WHAT if I could? There seems to have been absolutely no trouble over the past ten years+ in HighTechCreations getting their automatic payment...maybe i should have those settings?

Do I have to try to reload the game from new?  I am on Version 2.22 Patch 1 which should give someone a clue as to the last time I have played. I did notice somewhere there was a manual patch but it was for later versions than what I have now.. If I start from scratch do I keep my handle and my points?

Open to suggestions.

Thanks,
