I cannot join a single game - why?

Posted: Sun May 23, 2004 3:18 am

Every time I try to join a game of Halo, and I've tried about 50 now, I get the message on my TV: "Failed to join system link game" SO I have to do another search

Why is this?

I'm not on wireless, I have the original version of Halo. Could it be I cannot join those that have the newer versions?

Linksys BEFSR41 router if anyone needs to know

I also get a few random IP Conflict notices on my PC every now and then, then they dissappear.

Its because all the packets are being sent through 50 people, and its not wroking too well.. so it says that error

Halo link games are region specific.. i.e. you can't play a UK halo with US or german halo.

Same here. Can't join any game even though I can see the system link games being hosted. It says, connection failed. Sad

With old Xlink Messenger you couldn't join Halo games if they already started... so you had to catch them while the hoster was still in the Lobby.. dunno if it's still that way ??

Best way of trying is to first check if yr setup is correct by trying other games and then shedule a fight i Halo where all wait for each other before the launch the map..
