hmms...... i used RG to connect to a game, which worked, but upon trying to connect to the next game it wont connect, it just loads up the main menu (for accessing sp/mp etc)

It isnt a major problem cos i can just uninstall renguard and play on servers that dont need it.... but i would like to play on all ren servers Wink

Using GSA/ASE i presume?

Restart RenGuard, when you want to reconnect to a new server. That should help.

Have you read the "Beginners guide" on the Renguard menu?

It provides detailed instructions on how to play with Gamespy Arcade and All Seeing Eye.

well, renguard uses game.exe, thats what the renegade shortcut uses. What should happen (at least using gamespy) is that you click on the server, Renguard starts up before renegade, as it's using the game.exe file. You connect and start Renegade through that, and it should join the server.

Assuming this is what you've done... I have no idea.

No, if it points to game2.exe then he won't be logged into RenGuard.

I'm the bawss.

First of all : Open your gamespy and close all the fucking popups you may get. (lol Razz ) ehhe

Maybe in your gamespy options @ Renegade, it points to the Renegade.exe ? This COULD (dunno) prevent RenGuard from showing up?

I used RG icw GSA myself too two days ago or something i just right-clicked the server and choose Connect to server and everything went ok.

This should work for ASE too as it uses the same cmd-line to lanch renegade.
Try joining the server WITHOUT RenGuard first, once your on the server then close Renegade again. Now start RenGuard and THEN try to join that server again. I know its kinda :uhhrrm ok: but then again: for GSA/ASE you must restart RenGuard and the Game anyway rotfl with WOL you dont have this crap.

I Have read the begginers guide -.-, and it would help.... only RG worked the first time... so i DO KNOW how to use it (it isnt exactly rocket science is it), BUT i dont know how to fix this.... can you guys look into this problem rather than just thinking it is my obvious inability to read thats the problem.... atm to run RG i have to uninstall, it, or just refere the game back to the original game.exe file (game2), but if i use the RG game.exe it doesnt connect to a multiplayer game.... So it isnt a problem with ASE, and must be to do with your RG one..... CAN YOU PLEASE!!! look into this AND NOT just fob me off with read part3 of begginers guide.....

Henry VIII

What firewall(s) are you using?
Like Crimson said you only get this white screen 'crash/hang' if the RG cant connect to the RenGuard network. Maybe your settings in the firewall are wrong or you could try reinstall the firewall?

If you added the program to firewall as 'allowed' it should not have any problems.

Maybe, your firewall is still set to the old game.exe and finds your NEW game.exe (renguard modified) has changed and disallows it to connect to the internet. That would be a logic explaination. Only i think your FW wudve popped up a message about this 'changed program' behaviour. In case it didnt you could review the logs of FW and see if it does in fact block the connection.

The problem is in your FW settings most likely ;/

An important thing to remember is that WE REPLACE GAME.EXE... if your firewall detects a change in GAME.EXE it might lock it from accessing the internet. You have to tell your firewall that this change is OK.

I know this problem, a friend of mine had this.

This has to do with The All Seeing Eye not passing Command Line parameters correctly to game.exe, so it launches it without +connect etc.

Not sure how to solve it though. All I know it works with GSA. Try reinstalling ASE, maybe you have an old version. If you have still problems, you can PM me.
