I don't know if this helps to resolve my issue, but I can't get Game Ranger to install either.  It says that it can't connect to the server.

It sounds like a firewall problem to me...are you at home?  at work?
what country?

I turned off My firewall and it still didn't work.  Usually it asks me if I want to allow it or not.  With SWBFII, it never asked.

I am at home now.

I live in Chicago.

Have you ever used team viewer and teamspeak?

I can see your computer with team viewer and see if I can find the issue.  We can talk over teamspeak.  It would have to be some time at the end of next week before I will be available again, but Anyder may be able to help.

I can't think of any good reason why your game would not work.  I see your ISP is comcast, just like me.  They do not block anything related to SWBF/SWBF2.

Sure. I am not home until the 23rd, but I have internet connection right now. Lets see if I can figure something out...

Thanks guys for wanting to help so much.  Yes, I have used Team Viewer before.  In fact I already have it installed.  Let me know when you want to try to connect.  When you are ready to give this a try, please email me at the email address in my profile.

Thank you.

No problem.

Okay, I finally made some progress.  The problem was that the security setting on my modem/router was set too high.  I am now able to connect to the server, but when I try to join a game, it crashes and just goes back to Windows.  Any ideas?

Installing SWBFSpy: What to take into account

1) Make sure you download the proper file (Client / Server)

2) Make sure you overwrite the old file (or if you wanna keep the old file, just rename the old one to "BattlefrontII - Gameshare.exe" and paste there the new one).

3) If you're not gonna download the autoinstaller, I'll remind you that you need WinRar to extract the files (Or any other program similar to this one) -- WinRar Download link ( http://www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0 )

4) Make sure you have installed it correctly at the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LucasArts\  SWBF1 or SWBF2 Folder \GameData -- There u should find Battlefront.exe or BattlefrontII.exe (Check for last modification date --> It must be 5/28/16 or later)
*Note: If the OS is 32-bit, omit the (x86)

5) If their game was bought through Steam, the location of the game folder will be here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common


EDIT:

Now, if u're crashing try these solutions:

- Enable stereo mix
How to Enable Stereo Mix:
Start > Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab > If you don't see Stereo Mix, right click and select Show Disabled Devices > Enable Stereo Mix
(If you still don't see Stereo Mix, try to plug in a mic and enable it)
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/39532/how-to-enable-stereo-mix-in-windows-7-to-record-audio/
https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+enable+stereo+mix&client=aff-maxthon-maxthon4&channel=t28&gws_rd=ssl

- Run as admin; go to right click on the entire SWBF2 folder (located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common) and going to:
Properties > Security > Edit > Choose your User > give it full permissions by clicking the Allow on everything there > Apply. > Advanced > Add Permissions if you like > at the top change OWNER to your main User. > hit Apply. > then go back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common > click SWBF2 > GameData > right click on SWBF2 > at the top it should say Run as Administrator, try to run it that way, if that doesn't help, right click again > go to Properties > Compatibility > Run the program in Compatibility Mode. In Security make sure you have admin rights there also, simply go to security and check. click Edit to change Permissions, click Advanced to change Owner and more Permissions just like before with the SWBF2 folder.

- Delete vidmode (vidmode is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\DATA\_LVL_PC )

- Plug something into microphone port

Enable stereo mix first. It's the most common fix to crashing issues

Yep, the Stereo Mix did the trick.

Thanks you.

By the way.  Every one keeps telling me that the last modified date on the .exe has to be 5/28/2016 or later.  As far as I can tell, there is no such file.  The only one I can download has a last modified date of 5/27/2016 and it works fine.

As long as you get it from this site, you are OK.

Is the PS2 information at the start of this thread still valid?
