Title: Not receiving updates?
Post by: TANKhntr on June 22, 2009, 11:46:55 PM: When I log into the game, in my message buffer it says "Not receiving updates switch to TCP". I have no VOX, can't hear people talk and they can't hear me. I ran through all the tests I can possibly think of on my computer and it checks out fine, hmm I am lost! Also when I am in the lobby it shows my name as TANKhntr not as LTARtank, but when in the game is shows LTARtank?

If you are behind a router, the router could be blocking UDP packets. Describe your Internet connection. What ISP? Using a router? Wireless? What type of connection to the Internet is it?

Also try running a Ping Plot (www.pingplotter.com) to 206.16.60.39.

My guess is the anti-virus programs are thinking Vista is a virus and then they try to fix it. :)

Well, some of us believe that this is true.... Vista is a virus.
