Title: Yet another Awaiting Challenge Problem
Post by: Strangerli on August 26, 2008, 01:42:32 AM
We're playing Openarena in our Network and enjoy every second of it. But with Openarena 0.8.0 nobody can connect to the user who is the Server. Everybody, even when the Server-User tries to connect to the Server gets a never ending counting with the "Awaiting Challenge" Message.

The Server in our LAN is listet but nobody can join the game. Version 0.7.7 still works fine and we can play with the older version but we want to frag with the new weapons. :-)

Where can I see something like a Debug-Log or does anybody know this bug in 0.8.0?

Are you using the binaries at http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/rel/080/oa080-serverfix.zip (http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/rel/080/oa080-serverfix.zip)?  (allows working servers and in_mouse "-1", but otherwise not necessary for clients)

Sorry, my bad. I only searched for "Awaiting Challenge" but the Topic under mine had the same error and your solution. Sorry about that.

It works. Thank you.

I'm having a lot of trouble downloading: http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/rel/080/oa080-serverfix.zip (maybe the server is overloaded?)

I've Googled it, and that's the only place I can find it :(

It works for me.
