about to go sour
 

so iv been trying for about a week to get this game to work online. finally i get over the CD:263 problem.
and now i hit another....now it tells me that either my firewall is blocking me (it is not, i turned it off) or that my UDP pockets (???) or the server is offline....

Well, wait a day or two and try again. Sometimes the server is offline for me, and I keep getting the message for 1 day or more, when I'm told it is up.

As for the UDP pockets, I've no idea. If you edited any files to get past your CD:263 problem, you may have messed something up.
