The only way you're going to see CA pick back up is through actions,and twiddling thumbs trying to get a server up and running for you and your friends will really not offer much in the way of fixing the status quo of 'lack of CA gaming'.

@ mr.burns

@rook

@mindz

Hey Sylux, I am willing to bet the farm (if I had one) , that you would have infinitely more fun playing quake than fighting the good fight trying to get a quake server running.

The real question would be Why do you insist on running your own server?

If the intention is to host a Quake server for you and your friends to play on, wtf brah, tell those newb friends of yours they need start playing more Quake. Start a Quake Clan amongst yourselves with you being the Leader of the Clan.

I am seriously doubting that you are having as much fun trying to get a server running as you would if you was playing Quake with us old timers

If its the same machine just type connect 127.0.0.1 ?

Hi Sylux,

What are the command lines you've got running for each session of quake(server and client)? Are you getting any error messages? How are you connecting (inside your network with something like connect 192.168.1.2 or outside connect <yourexternalip>? If you're connecting internally to the same machine your firewall could be causing a problem depending on how it's configured so are there any rules in your firewall to block/allow the quake traffic?

Kind regards
