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.
