Wierd crash problem
Wierd crash problem
I got booted from some server (they were booting everyone for some reason - some power hungry clan or something) and now, whenever I click on the "multiplayer internet" button on the main menu, it crashes the game.
Is there any way to fix this? Or will I have to do a full reinstall :(?

Re: Wierd crash problem
I've got a similar problem, but it was when i tried to get into a password protected game with the old password, it rejected it twice and now when i click on the "multiplayer game - internet" button, it crashs back to the desktop. I've reinstalled both H&D2 & H&D2 SS twice including all the patches and its still doing it!
Re: Wierd crash problem
Check in your hd2 directory at the profiles an filename called serverlist.bin. Delete it and it should be working again
Re: Wierd crash problem
Thanks, it worked.
Re: Wierd crash problem
lol! i just logged in to say the same thing i had to delete that file about 3 or 4 times last night, i.e. each time i went into the multiplayer bit, but i've gone in and out a few times now and it seems to be ok now.
(won't mention that i reinstalled twice before that........)

Yeah, this is a fairly common issue; should probably make this thread a sticky.
Eight, 8, the burning eight; between Sunday and Monday exists a day so great, it will devastate.
Re: Wierd crash problem
Argh, I am having to delete the file every time I try to join a server now :( What is causing this problem / is there a more permanent fix?

Yer, everyone is having the problem - I would guess that either the server which you get the server list from is having a problem or that on of the wreckers/glitchers has created a server name that somehow breaks it for everyone.
Re: Wierd crash problem
Got that tip from our forum:
Create an empty textfile named ServerList.bin in your profile folder and set it up to write protected.
Than it should working again

Re: Wierd crash problem
this worked for me...
Go to your HD2 directory /Player Profiles and there should be a
file called "Serverlist.bin" ... open it in TXT format and delete
everything inside and save it. Then open it´s properties and select the box
named "Read- only" , and save

Re: Wierd crash problem
I was just about to say this myself yer - I thought it would work and was pleasantly suprised when I found it did :) You don't actually store a server list now, but big deal
