    Hi

    I have a really really annoying problem with UT3. Whenever I try to connect to a server from the server list, it says "connecting" and just stays there until I click cancel. Why can't I join any servers? Does anyone know?

    alt tab while you are on the loading screen. Its possible that the windows firewal is automatically blocking it.

    just double check.

    I've done that so many times, believe me. Arrgh... I'm so frustrated now I'm actually thinking about giving 50 bucks to the person who helps me solve this problem.

    I know it seems checked but it does either sound like a firewall/antivirus block or a patch problem.

    ---me too, i can't seem to play online. i click join and nothing seems to happen. but ohhhhhhhhh it gets better!!! i try instant action and the loading screen comes up in this German language and freezes.

    i checked to see if unreal is installed correctly, and it is. i'm a unreal fan so i know how to set bots and maps. my fire wall accepts unreal 3 so i don't have a problem with that.

    I really do think that it's a bug in the engine. many ppl seem to have the same problem.

    well that happens to everyone becasue some servers are on the list but they aren't actually active.. you need to organize the list by ping and find and select from the top. That way the servers should be active and it will connect

    edit: I have the game btw
