I will welcome PC players.... not PC trolls, lets hope for the best.

Works perfect, thank you 
I just hope Evill dosen't start with his annoying permabanning again.

PS. If you could implement buddy lists that would be great

Guess who's back....now i guess i should get some games...(beer first, games later)

Mostly for permabanned players who want to come back and chat. Search the forums, there have been extensive posts on this topic.

Well the reason why GhostRecon GameRanger hosted games are Mac only and can't be Ip joined by PC players is that Evill implemented a way to block PC users not only by the password - there must be something else that blocks PC users. If you host a normal game on your own everybody can join without a hassle.

Nevertheless you are right about RvS and AS.

Bye,

The RvS/AS aren't incompatible if he could mock up a way that UBI IDs could work as GR IDs and thus mac compatibility.

[*DAMN Elandrion]

well, AFAIK Glenda stated various times that RvS and AS PC <> Mac networking isn't possible due to RvS's use of DirectPlay as the networking protocol, which would have to be reverse engineered by Aspyr, with unknown legal and technical consequences. The fact that you can see PC LAN servers in the RvS server browser doesn't mean that the networking protocol is the same.

Yes, Evill does tend to perma ban people that he catches hacking into GameRanger from a PC.  Just a word of advice...create a new screen name if you try it.[/size]

There was/is also Punkbuster compatability issues.

Frisbee, when that happens just log in again without quitting the app, it'll work.

Rgr.

[Lover Boy]

Great .  Can you tell me how to exactly install it though?  A friend wants to use it, and I don't know any thing about pc.  (He's a Windows noob )  Any help would be cool .

[KoS.frizzle.]

lol...how to install ?
just download the file and unzip it...then open it

[Stripes]

you cant play games with a PC, on GR - can you?

[BTs_Mysterio]

e-XPedition is the ticket. I think xo want to get joining working.... actually just asked he said no.

[.vooDoo.]

Xo, you need to add a buddy list man.
