Oh right you mean Gamespy <i>arcade</i> I wondered what you meant there. It's not something I have encountered before but it sounds like the server can't communicate with the Gamespy master server. I guess the game is patched to 445 and you are using the latest version of gamespy? If so I'd try again and possibly ask Gamespy support.

I just tried it now with Atimar's Little server and I can connect and play fine so I don't think they are having technical problems.

Maybe someone else has had this issue?

For you to join an online server your levels must match exactly! Atimars server runs just the 445 patch, where as the SPB2 server requires a special patch.

If you cannot join, AND YOUR SURE THAT YOU CAN GET THROUGH YOUR ROUTER!, then write down which level is playing, and go to Andrey's FTP server to see all past and present levels. Download a copy and install it, see if this works.

Wait for a different level to start running! If can not still connect then you have an issue on your end, being router or patch, firewall etc.[8D]

The servers have been running for years, and we can still connect!

I have not joined in a few months, and have not even had Gamespy on my pc, but just installed it and joined Atimars server, Hill of Ice. Stayed for 2 min, just to see that my router did not kick me.

The concept of The Drakan Gold pack, was so that everyone who used it had the exact same files required to join multiplayer. If you have downloaded this, and cannot connect then it is definately, your firewall or router settings.

Ah, I assumed you had installed the 445 patch. Anyway, glad to hear you got it working OK.

Greetings,
I have a little annoying problem with drakan OOTF. It is about the music. I downloaded this gold version or what, and found a lot of useful things, but that doesnt matter cuz I simply cant play normally. I cannot set the level of the music. It is as loud in 1% as it is at 100%. Even if I turn it to 1% it sounds so loud I can't hear anything but the music. [:(]
I know music is not as important than the gameplay, but, without music, it is not perfect. The first time I played this game was 8 years ago, and it is still one of my favs. But I cant enjoy the full gameplay without music :S
Please help me out!

Yes it does but you have to patch it to version 445. It can be a bit flaky on some systems though but there are workarounds. If you have any problems, search the forum for existing fixes to your problem(s) and if you get no joy, post a message and someone will try and help.
