Title: Cant get online, need help.
Post by: Goatmilk on May 04, 2009, 09:19:57 pm
I wanted to post in the other forum for this stuff, but Im not allowed to create topics there appearently. Okay so I used to play CE online like a year ago, and I wanted to play again. I took a clean D2 install and installed CE, activated, upped to 7.70a and started the game. Single Player works, but I cant get onto Bnet. It'll give me the "Bnet was unable to properly identify your version" error over and over. I've reinstalled CE like 10 times, trying everything. I also tried with just 7.69 and 7.70 versions.

I suspect that D2Maniacs might be causing some problems, because once I connect to the standard bnet I pick Europe as server, but then at the login screen I see the D2Maniacs realms instead of the normal bnet ones. I guess this is what is causing CE to not let me on? But how do I fix this? I feel like Ive tried so many things and Im running out of ideas..

Hope someone reads this post soon, I know this isnt the most active game forum but dunno where else to go.

Maybe you use a changed game.exe, this will cause a version check fail, also dll modifications, not done by Chaos Empire will cause this issue

Quick reply, thanks. :P Im using a fresh d2 install (Install from CD and upped to 1.10, tried 1.11b and 1.12a too) and I only install CE and run the game.exe from there, didnt add in anything else at all.

I deleted PlugY and set the Chaos Empire server as my chosen gateway, that seemed to fix it.

if you deleted the plufgy delivered with ce, ce wont start any longer
so you may have had another plugy installed

Yeah I had PlugY installed in a Median folder elsewhere, and it appears to be some kinda "global" PlugY I had, that affected all the D2 folders I had (and I didnt know it did, nor could I see it anywhere that it affected CE too)
