    FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    <edit> Issue resolved - thread closed </edit>

    Figured I would start a seperate thread for this issue.

    FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    I am still looking for a solution. I get the above error when I try to connect to the TG server. I do not get the error trying to join other ranked servers.

    When I try to join TG, I immediately get kicked to desktop while watching a small ETQW loading window. When I join other servers I do not get kicked out of game like that. about a minute later, I get the following error in that small window:

    The message also says the following in a separate color text box:

    "Dedicated server not authenticated, Network service is disabled."

    Re: FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    trying to put together a list of useful resources for the problem. My intutitons are that this is NOT a client problem. Others are having this problem on several servers. But it is specific to those servers.

    A potentially useful thread on the issue for apophis:
    http://community.enemyterritory.com/...ead.php?t=7009


    a link to the etqw general admin forums.
    http://community.enemyterritory.com/...splay.php?f=26


    We are going to have to be patient till this is resolved.


    I quit all non essential programs and tried to connect to see if there was a program conflict - I got the same error.

    Apparently it IS a known problem. It's being looked into now. It's nothing that I did, thankfully, and hopefully it will be resolved soon.

    Re: FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    There are only a couple of GSP's online right now that are able to provide connections. I've opened a support ticket with WOLF to see what's up so hopefully I'll know something soon.

    I'm anxious to play too!

    Apparently Splash Damage has a new distribution package they are working to get out to all the GSP's to address this issue. Anubis from WOLFServers said that they are currently working with Splash Damage to get this resolved ASAP.

    Re: FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    This may have changed since launch. But reading some threads at the ETQW forums has revealed that you need to use an approved Game Service Providers (GSP) to host the game. Several are having similar problems today (US launch date). Many individual communities like ours are quite angered they can not run a ranked game server on their own hardware and bandwidth.

    Why is ranked so important?
    The primary attraction is statistical ranking of players. You can compare your performance in a number of categories against other players. To make those comparisons valid, the game environment must be the same. Only allowing certain trusted GSPs to run in ranked mode ensures a level playing field.

    Ranked mode for ETQW is similar to ranked mode for the Battlefield series of games. Important settings are not allowed to change (respawn timer, mandown timer etc...) from their defaults in a ranked server.

    Yes, this is normal for ranked games. We are using an approved GSP for this title. As for not being able to run your own ranked server, this is something that we are going to have to get used to. It was the same way with America's Army for a LONG time and then they started licensing the rights to run your own Honor server. We ran our own for a while before shutting it down due to inactivity.

    It would be nice if the publishers allowed this type of fee-based licensing, but I also understand their desire to try and prevent the data from being tampered with.

    Re: FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    With this game we may stand a chance running it unranked. Unlike 2142, there seem to be many people that will NEED to run the server unranked. I suspect people will want to play on campaigns with more than 3 maps on them. To do that, you need to be unranked. Ranked filter is not enabled by default in the client. If there is enough success with other unranked servers, perhaps we can give it a go. For now, Ranked is probably best. I am glad to hear we are going with Wolfservers for the time being. I love them.

    I'm not sure where we will go after the game has been established and we may drop off having the ranked server if it's not really needed and we want more. But considering the game was just released today I think we have a little while before we have to worry about outgrowing the current campaign.

    Re: FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    I haven't even been able to get any errors yet.

    I pre-ordered my copy, and reserved my name (not sure why, it's very unique. In retrospect, I shouldn't have). Now, when I tried to activate my username, it tells me 'wrong code' when I go to the link provided with the email they sent. Awesome job, guys. So I've sent an email to Customer Support, we'll see what they say. Until then, I won't be on. Hopefully won't be more than a day or so.

    My guess is we should be ranked by tonight.

    Re: FATAL ERROR: Failed to restart with pure mode restrictions for server connect

    Okay, so like I said, there is a problem with my reserved gamertag. I sent Activision an email explaining my problem, and they sent a response that makes sense! Here it is:

    Response (Kirk McNesby) - 10/02/2007 03:50 PM
    Hi,

    There is a problem with your gametag, it is basically stuck in the database. This issue should be correctable, but we will need a little extra time to get it fixed (we will be contacting the appropriate people asap). We will let you know when this problem has been resolved and you can Activate your pre-order name.



    YAY! I think.

    It should be online and functioning now as a Ranked server.

    If anyone can confirm, that would be most excellent!
