Post by: 4Morg4 on June 15, 2008, 08:41:07 AM
Hey everyone im new to open arena(i downloaded i cause i wanted a good free fps for mac) and i need help with 2 things. First, i cant join any servers. It just says "Invalid Game folder". Secondly i wanted to play with my brother just me and him so we tryed to setup a local server. When i went to multilayer and changed tthe servers from internet to local nothing showed up. So then he tryed making a dedicated internet server, but when we set it up (in the game) and clicked fight, it froze(when he tryed it and when i tryed it).  neways, heres some info of what were doin and stuff

Please ensure that all 0.7.6 files was overwritten by the 0.7.7 patch or you will get an "invalid folder" error.

The UI will freeze when you launch a dedicated server. You should never launch a dedicated server from inside the game anyway, I don't know why the option is there.

If you want to play on a LAN you should create a Listening server (Dedicated = No). It should be visible using "Local" in the Server browser
