Hmmm Hopefully we can figure that one out.

Tazdrummer · February 28th, 2002, 10:23 AM

Are you SURE you got version 1.31? If I am not mistaken, version 1.31 is protocol 67.

You may have gotten version 1.30.

When you start up Quake 3, bring up your console by pressing the "~" key. You should see on the right side "Quake 3 1.31" if you do have 1.31.

If it is, then I would either

1) Uninstall Quake 3 and then reinstall

or

2) Download 1.31 again.

It does look like you are using an older Point Release.

Taz's recommendations are excellent.

BTW, you can also use the server's URL, quake3.king-nerd.com, to log on instead of the IP address.

It's easier to remember than a string of numbers

thanx for post when I get home tonight ill see what I can do, I downloded the patch from 2 diffrent servers. And tried them both.

Also, when you install the 1.3.1 patch, make sure that it installs into the same directory as Q3. If you changed the default dir when you installed Q3, then you have to change it in the patch. The patch isn't smart enough to search for the game dir.

now i know why everyone complains about morticia...

i think i need some more practise before i venture in there again!!!

Did Milenko reboot his server and forget to launch Quake 3 again? I just tried to connect and it appears to be down.

edit:Ended up being a firewall setting on my end. Looks like I missed most of the Windrivers action tonight - but there is always next time!

The obvious, are you connected to the net? Also, are you using a retail copy that you purchased with a legitimate serial #?

Quake3 won't allow you to list public servers if you have a duplicate or blacklisted serial #.

I bought Quake 1,2&3 as collectors edition, im connected to the net,

Probably already figured this problem out, but FYI, when I upgraded to 1.31, I had to install the point release three times for it to take correctly. It would show up as protocol 67 in the setup, but would still allow me to connect to pro. 66 servers, and not 67.
