Hi BBA, I'm Brave.Sir.Robin / System.Shock and I like to play on your server sometimes. Really Great server! But I have a problem and wonder if you guys could help.

My account won't access suddenly. Just out of nowhere I can't log in, it just says: "Please Wait. . . ." and then eventually cancels. Has anyone had this problem or know what to do?

Either way I hope I get it worked out, thanks anyways, and hopefully I'll be playing on BBA again soon. :)

I just connected to BBA#1 with no problems, through my desktop shortcut and through the ET server browser. The properties of my WinXP shortcut reads ""D:\Games\Wolftenstein ET\ET.exe" connect bba1.badassservers.net"

The IP did change several months ago. Try connecting to BBA1.badassservers.net, which will never change, even if the IP does.

Mind you have enough s's in there!

Or it could just be a temporary glitch or the server was down for maintenance or ...

I thought you had them all corralled onto QW?

We do try to keep them corralled on the QW server, but some of them escape occasionally.......... sadly.

firstly, you must "!pants Blood" before login

(just kidding)

Do you mean you can't log into our forum or you can't connect to the our server? Does it hold you on the connecting desktop?

Might it be a PunkBuster updating problem? The "please wait..." may be the key. I don't recall ever seeing it from the game-server. Check your error-message stream against this:

"Everything did fine with the install except I get this errors:

Dirtyolman has a number of posts on PB problems, including one nifty 'secret' program from PB-EvenBalance, which link I can't find right now.
