I am playing on Comcast and suddenly 4-5 months ago I can still see many 
many servers of Enemy Territory on xfire (100 or less ping) to play BUT 
always have problems with connection or server message 22. When I try to 
stay online with Enemy Territory and "play online" no servers show to play 
.. always getting errors about pak. Been playing for year w/no problem 
except about a year or so ago had the same problem. Forgot solution.

Also about 3 years ago I changed to new video board and lcd and have not 
been able to play Quake 3. Using pny geforce 8500gt 512 ddr2. Lost settings 
I had in config file and xfire startup for the game but somehow low it and 
thought could be problem. Now computer just locks up.
