Halo 2 Sub-arenas not available

hey there,

just wondering if anyone else experienced this problem today (march 2, 05) or at anytime in the past. i tried to go into the halo 2 sub-arena section only to get a message that tells me there are no sub-arenas to enter. when i then clicked on the bookmark star for halo 2, it asked if i wanted to add serious sam to my favourites list. i closed kai and logged in several times and had the same problem repeatedly except that halo 2 was listed as a different game each time (soldier of fortune, rainbow six etc...). i have been using kai for a couple of months with no problems. any thoughts or suggestions about what to do? thanks in advance.

if i did, it was out of habit and hasn't been a problem in the past. i just read another discussion about this problem with other games. i'll avoid using the wheel and see if that makes a difference. my guess is that this is the problem. since the halo 2 arena seems to be further down queue than it was before, i actually have to look for it now.

cheers.

try deleting it as a favorite and adding it again

Highly doubtful, but could be an orbital missed mesh, but that's almost 99% NOT your problem.

If it's still happening, try a complete removal / installation procedure (there's a sticky in the General Help forum).

I'm getting the same problem, when I click to join the Halo 2 section, it says there are no sub-arenas avail. And it says i'm in the Jedi Academy room. No idea what's happening

if you use the scroll wheel on your mouse it will put you in a different arena then what you click on... it is a bug with the kai windows gui

Of course if you go into the Jedi Academy room, and nobody's in there, THERE WILL BE NO SUB-ARENAS. Expand your brains a little people, it's not that hard :/

There's a bug in the UI. Either you continue to use your scroll-wheel and don't resize the window a little and end up scratching your head, or you can fix it by using the scrollbar.

OK let me make myself clear. If i use the mousewheel, the keyboard, or the scroll bar, it still puts me in the wrong room. I have to keep moving the Halo 2 arena into different "slots" on the menu until it takes me to the Halo 2 arena. So when i said it takes me to Jedi Academy room, I obviously didn't mean that i went to the Jedi Academy room on PURPOSE looking for a game of HALO 2.

do not use the scroll wheel at all... it has been said multiple times in this thread... if you use the scroll wheel, it will make you go into a different arena than you intend on going into... it is a bug in the gui... just click on the scroll bar, and drag it down, or set halo 2 - whatever location arena you play in, as a favorite, then you shouldnt have a problem with this any more...

nevermind, I guess I'll just keep having to do trial and error tactics until i find the Halo 2 room.

He just said if he uses the scroll bar it still puts him in the wrong room. Rolling Eyes

Yeah, i think you should do the trial and error tactics, then when you find the right room just mark it as a fave.

EDIT: You could try what gabbo did and maybe it will work for you.

1. Resize Kai window (vertically)
2. Don't use scroll-whell.
3. Close or minimize the yellow info panel.

Those 3 things will fix any issues you have with it.

dfunked, resizing the window works tremendously (about 80% of the time).. Thakns a lot guys
