Hi all, Well bought myself a copy of Q4, as I have enjoyed Q3 (and mods) so much in the past. So I fire up the game and go to the in game browser to give it a test online, it scans about 400-ish servers but nothing comes up on the screen. I remember Q3 being this bad :( so does the browser actually work? Then I got a server IP from the ASE but Q4 just sat at 'waiting authorization'. So a bit fed up with it already, I assume multiplayer does work? but why is it such hard work to play a game I want it to be fun :) I suppose I will have to play the single player :) -- DarkArrow

It didn't for about one day, I assumed the server was down. I wonder if that's about the same time yours didn't. Is it working now? I get 1000 games servers come up with it.

I have one that works. I find Q4 so much faster finding the servers than Q3. I can send it to you if you like. This is only a no cd ....the game will still check for a correct key.

I think you are right it does seem a lot quick now I have it working. It's a pity so many of the servers are empty, but I have managed a game or two. >I can send it to you if you like. >This is only a no cd ....the game will still check for a correct key. Thanks for the offer but I have found one now, the key is no problem as I bought the game. I just hate having to find the CD/DVD when I want to play. > >"DarkArrow" <paul@[127.0.0.1]> wrote in message >news:SjZPXIAi4yaDFwG5@icedragon.ndo.co.uk... >> In article <54Sdnai_sNJWAPfeRVn-uQ@comcast.com>, OscartheGrouch >> <Tondaleo@hotmail.com> writes >>> >>>"DarkArrow" <paul@[127.0.0.1]> wrote in message >>>news:oE8xOZA1GlaDFwy4@icedragon.ndo.co.uk... >>>> Hi all, >>>> >>>> Well bought myself a copy of Q4, as I have enjoyed Q3 (and mods) so much >>>> in the past. >>>> So I fire up the game and go to the in game browser to give it a test >>>> online, it scans about 400-ish servers but nothing comes up on the >>>> screen.

Kquery4 works very well, and it's free. read the 'all seeing eye' thread for more info.
