Ok, so I downloaded this:
http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halopc/patch/haloded.exe
I replaced my Halo Dedi server exe with this file - now our server is not able to connected to via the GameSpy lobby.
We can connect direct IP and via Xfire, but the GameSpy Lobby shows no ping indicator and sits at "Negotiating Connection To Server" and never connects.
I updated my local client, copied the String.DLL file to the Halo Dedi folder and fired up the exe - still nothing, same results, no connection via GameSpy Lobby.
I was also running on other port numbers so I moved it to the default 2302 - still nothing. I can only connect via Xfire and direct IP.
I see other servers that are suffering the same fate as ours - why is updating the servers such a PITA? We have not had our servers public now for almost a week. Anyone got any ideas on what else I can do to fix this?
I run a dedicated server elsewhere that I control root level access to. I do not have haloded.exe or any server files local on my gaming machine, that is all on the dedi, so there was no local files I could upload onto the dedi except for the Strings.DLL - so does anyone have any other ideas as to why this is not working?
I also have uninstalled - then reinstalled Halo Dedicated server, then updated the files - still nothing. At this point I am confused.
