i was able to join the server the first time i tried this, but now last two times i am able to get to the server screen and when i see the server list my swbf freezes. any suggestions?

-edit
ive figured out it only does this when i type in "1" in the in/max filter (old habit), i guess for the time being ill have to remember not to do this

Through strength, I gain power                -Hate leads to suffering
Through power, I gain victory

once the server screen loads dont move your cursor for about 10 seconds that seems to reduce the freezing we haven't found a fix yet though and it is a very annoying bug.

another bug is server names dont update for several hours and if you host another server it will assume the name of the old one which can be confusing.

I like OpenSpy !
I like OpenSpy !
I like Openspy very, very, much !

Some people however, have some issues with it. Might take some time to encourage people to transition across. I fear that we might lose some more players as part of that process : (

Still, I like OpenSpy !   

Probably mostly because Tunngle is, with its manual adapter instals and cantankerous port forwarding, err, quite simply, is the pits.

Great job on the patch. I'm testing the v1.2 dedicated server and it's working as advertized.

Any idea if this will work with the original and patched versions of the PS2 dedicated server executable as well? There are a lot of PS2 players still out there that were shut out when Lucas Arts stopped supplying the patch.

I think I have the PS2 server versions here on the site.  If you can tell me which one is the correct one to use, I can put up a PS2 dedi server on my PC box so that it can be tested.

The installation program is named "swbattlefrontps2server.exe".
The original un-patched version of the installation program is 55,462 KB and dated 9/26/2004.
The executable "battlefront.exe" for the original un-patched version is 3,076 KB and dated 9/16/2004.

The patched version of the installation program is 57,635 KB and dated 12/22/2004.
I don't have file properties for the patched executable at the moment, but it would be dated around December 2004.

I prefer the original un-patched version over the patched. The reason being that Lucas stopped providing the patch in November of 2010. It is my understanding that when the patch is installed, although it is stored on the memory card, it is serialized to the PS2 and cannot be copied, transferred or shared. There are many people who have deleted the patch from their memory cards, lost the memory card with the patch, or like myself, never had the patch. Therefore supporting the un-patched version would allow anyone to play while the number of players with the patch are limited.

I know that prior to the termination of GameSpy support, only the patched versions of the game would show on the GameSpy master server list. I have no idea what OpenSpy would do with multiple versions.

OK, what I have installed right now is battlefront.exe 5,032 KB 11/18/2004 
It sounds like it is the patched.

Let me dig a bit.

EDIT:  OK, I found it, and I am running it using the HOSTS file option.  Let me know if you can see it.

I cannot see any PS2 servers, but to be honest I have not yet verified that my PS2 network configuration for OpenSpy works:

Primary DNS IP to: 99.198.122.113
Secondary DNS IP to: 208.67.222.222

On the server PC I tried editing the hosts file without success (I did have to guess at some of the values.)
I added the following to my hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
#
198.91.90.160 swbfrontps2.ms10.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 swbfrontps2.available.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 available.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 master.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 swbfrontps2.master.gamespy.com
198.91.90.48 motd.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 key.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 peerchat.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 gpsp.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 gpcm.gamespy.com
198.91.90.160 natneg1.gamespy.com


How does this compare with your hosts file?

Ah, I see the issue.  I will work on fixing it.


EDIT:  ok, I added the PS2 lines, and restarted the server

Still not seeing anything. Not sure if this is a server issue. I have a friend with SWBF PS2 configured for OpenSpy. He cant see any server either, dedicated or non-dedicated. Could be a configuration issue on the PS2 side.

there is a PS2 player here by the name of SNAKE that has used Openspy.  Maybe we can contact him.
