I've got the same problem. Can't hookup with the master server. But I've talked to players who can. Strange GT works good and if you start the game and type in a IP of one of the servers in your fav you can still play with them. Check out the console and see if it is a PB problem after the game is started (don't use GT just start the game and check it out).

Thanks for the tip ddubva. Did you mean QT or GT? I don't understand what GT stands for. Also wht do u mean exactly by Punkbuster problem?

Hi again, guys if u go www.youngandoldboys.com and register, u can follow our figth to getting it back how its was before,t.e.x we are taken contact to Ravensoft and others forces.In that way we hope if we are many players, we can figth this back,or a new way to connect serveres in a easy way, will be born. Greetz Goofy..;-)

Hei oldgoofy thank you for posting the above note. I have managed to play some games today in some servers which run with the latest 1.03 full patch. When I try to get connected to your server young...(via qtrack) iam getting a message that your server runs on a 2002 Protocol. If you download qtrack and look for servers there are plenty but not all accessible due to this protocol 2002 for servers mainly running the old 1.01 version of SOF II. Right now I can only get servers with Qtrack. If I try to get servers as I did before I get nothing.

TULOL apollo55 I didn't know about QT (ya learn something new every day) sorry. I use GT (Game Tracker) it looks like the same type of app. GT also gives you a list of servers for lots of online games. In the game console u can see if PB set up right or it might need an update.

Hi i am new on for this post.I am very glad to join here.
One such game is the 3D Counter Strike which is played mostly for professional reasons alone. Youngsters are increasingly addicted to this game for two reasons, one for fun and two for professional gaming. First of all let us look into the specifications required for playing the Counter Strike game.

yap Burle Isigned up the petition. In the mean time I am playing using Qtracker. Mind you I can't join your server since I can only now play version 1.03 SOF II gold version. If I try to join the old version of the game (no patch) I get a message that the server is running on Protocol 2002. So far I got neither a response nor a solution from activision to my problem.
Cheers

Hey appolo.. nice to meet you

if you follow this link to sofplayers it tells you how to get both versions gold and v.1 .always a good site to go to if you have problems,if you look on their main page it tells you how to convert from both ways.
