Did you try to reinstall Serious S. ?

[Suicidal]

(holy crap you're fast. you must be like, eagle-eying the forum. lol!)

yes its been done. but maybe ONE MORE TIME it will work? seirous sam has caused more problems now than its worked, just when i wanted to get back into it (MAYBE, sorta)

Serious sam has sometimes some strange problems and the only way to fix it is to install it on a different location.

So normally it's ...Croteam/SeriousSam-secondencounter... etc.

Just change the name of Croteam into something like Croteam2. Sounds stupid but worked for me several times with different problems.


Edit:

Or just read Devil's post :D

Did you install the patch?

[Suicidal]

patch IS installed (thought that was the problem the first time, guess not)
directory WAS changed. does not even include "croteam" anymore
Firewall: configured (failed), turned off (failed), turned on (hey look at that, now UT2K4 works!)

It wont let me uninstall again. theres no setup/unins file in the serious sam bin, and whenever i put the disc in, it tells me i need to install it (though i can click on the game and play though)

^^^^May this have something to do with the problem, maybe?

or, is it Vista!?

Erg...

[Suicidal]

maybe gamespy arcade is mad at me for not installing it... heh

[Suicidal]

yeah ive used routers for quite a while. i checked it just to be sure though, and it wasn't (sure enough) that.
uac was already disabled. wasnt it

I even ran it in xp settings just in case.
hmmm. i think i may know what the problem is though....

[Suicidal]

I think that this would be a good time to point out that your personal quote has a double negative in it.

Lol, I know, that's the joke. Heh

...It stll makes sense though. The double negative is used to be more effective than saying it plain out correctly.

But don't worry. I have a nasty problem of not making myself clear at times...
