Game crashes on MP lobby

[Miner]

I Bought Men Of War on steam played it for weeks and one day as i try to join a server i got this message shown on the pic attached. Now every time i go to multiplayer and log in to the lobby i got about 10 seconds before same crash occures again and i find myself on desktop.
Havent tried uninstalling.

I got Windows xp, Dual core 2Ghz, 2GB Ram, Nvidia 8600GT 500MB
All help is appreciated.

I have started experiencing that exact same error about 10 minutes ago. It was working fine, like yours.

This also happened to me a few weeks ago, but I just kept restarting MoW and eventually it worked. It doesn't seem to be working this time, however.

From what I managed to see for the few seconds I was in the MP lobby, everyones rank showed 0 with no rank symbol. Servers seemed to update fine.

Since neither of us modified anything i'm assuming it's Gamespy or something. I would also appreciate help :)

EDIT: It's working now, even though I did not do anything. I guess you have to just keep trying every few minutes.

The server was uploading a minor change to the system. There is nothing wrong with your computer and MP should be working fine now.

i have been experiancing this problem also for over a week now.

I restored the game to a previous version and had to patch back up again and this seemed to fix it, but the otherday i could not get it working again so i did a total uninstall and reinstall. The game worked fine for 2 days, but today i logged in to the MP lobby and the game terminated again. I have tried everything to fix it but to no avail. So i am just about to reinstall yet again.

I have just performed a total reinstall and then booted the game in its base version (1.02.1 i think)

I tried a few minutes of SP and all seemed fine, i then joined the MP lobby and it crashed after 10 seconds....

I have the same isue. I think the problem is connected to the number of players in the lobby. On weekdays, when there are less players around, I never experienced this. Dunno how to fix it though, but doubt reinstall helps. Must be a server issue.

hi, yeah i guess your right about it being a server issue, at least i hope so.

After trying to rejoin the server 5 times this afternoon and crashing i gave up.

I came back to it this evening to try again..... the first 2 times i tried to join the lobby it terminated on me. 10 minutes later i thought i would try one more time and this time i have managed to join the lobby and not get booted.

Most likely it will happen again before the night is over though !!

So 1C technical guys can you take a look at my crash reports posted above and help me get this fixed please.

This forum is used for players helping other players. Admins rarely reply so, you will have to email them if you want their help. As usual, they will ask you to make sure you are updated to the latest version, try it on a differant PC if possible, reinstall, etc, etc, etc.

This is a GameSpy issue.
What is happening is you are getting a signal saying you are not up to date with GS servers, this checks after you log in. You send a signal back but it fails and you do not get the update. You can not manually update as far as I know. What you should try is messing with your firewall settings, anything blocking anything.

I hope you get it fixed.

ok, thank you for the reply.

I always thought that these kind of forums where monitored by the admins and help was at hand. Now I know the situation. Thanks!

I've played MoW for 18 months now and this problem has just started 3 weeks ago, long after I have made any system or game state changes so I couldn't see it being anything my end.

Looking at the DMS forum last night it seems that several other players are now affected also. So it looks like some kind of GS server issue.

Cheers
