Title: Awaiting Gamestate.... Post by: skynardlynard on August 28, 2008, 10:25:33 PM I get the 'awaiting gamestate' issue, and nothing else.
i also have this problem in Q3 arena, i cant connect to any of my friends, or my friends cant connect to my game. i dont know if its a firewall issue or what, what do i need to do? i look up my IP on the internet, just by googling my IP, i look at my IP under my wireless settings, and they dont even match. i dont know where to begin, but any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks! edit- my brother and i both DL'd openarena today, at the same time, so we both have the same version. Title: Re: Awaiting Gamestate.... Post by: yasha on August 29, 2008, 01:32:33 AM try downloading serverfix, at http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/rel/080/oa080-serverfix.zip, it worked to me.
And dont forget to make new files executable. Properties -> permissions -> Allow executing file as program Title: Re: Awaiting Gamestate.... Post by: damocles on August 29, 2008, 12:38:53 PM Lynard (rawk), it seems to be a common problem, but Google says nobody really knows what causes it. One of the closest things has been blocking auth servers (http://dev1ance.net/forum/showthread.php?t=973) (dev1ance.net/forum), but this was for 1.11, and can/will break 1.32, and networking fixes have already been applied in old revisions.
You may wish to check your network settings, firewall, malware, etc., but all this seems to be a shotgun approach, because it's something really hard to troubleshoot, let alone as a third party. (I suspect that a router breaks packets somewhere, maybe when it's not supposed to, or maybe because that's the "right" thing to do, but I really don't know.) Of course, it could also be something really obvious, and nobody's replied yet. :) Hope you can figure something out. If you need some basic / general information on networking, http://portforward.com/ (http://portforward.com/) has some stuff. Good luck. Title: Re: Awaiting Gamestate....

Hmm, can it be because you've got a private address (for your LAN, given by your router) and a public address (the one used on the internet) ? ;)If so, normal to have 2 address ... [ addresses ? how do we mark plural in english ? :P ] For your problem with OA, yasha gave you some fix you have to apply. Title: Re: Awaiting Gamestate.... Post by: pimontenegro on September 01, 2008, 07:27:54 PM I have the same problem.. i installed the fix on windows and it works fine..
But i need to install on ubuntu.. im no a linux user so i dont now how to do this.. can anyone help me? I dont see any deb file in the fix file... Please can anyone tell how to install the fix on linux please? Thanks! Title: Re: Awaiting Gamestate.... Post by: yasha on September 02, 2008, 01:23:52 AM It's same. Download serverfix from above, and just replace .i386 files if you have 32-bit processor, or .x86_64 if you have 64-bit processor. I replaced all files, even if i use only x86_64 version.
