hi everybody,

i am using xbmc 12/10 and i can connect to xlink kai, i can see arenas and games. but every time i go to a arena and join it (i can see the other players) and hit the button play the game starts up and i go to system link and the lobby is empty.

what am i doing wrong?
i use :
halo 2 game
no firewall
wireless-g broadband router
xlink engine evolution 7

i even tryed to enter the mac adress in de configuration of xlink.

does someone know a solution to my problem?

i'm having exactly the same issue - i'm connecting successfully with kai, that is, i get all of the lobbies, chat, etc. and i get the pop-up notification that i'm connected to the server, but whenever i go to halo, for example, no games ever show up in the system link.

running xp - the xp machine is in the dmz, going through a d-link extreme-g router. the xbox is hardwired to the router, the kai pc is wireless.

tried getting assistance from the kai folks, but they were oddly rude.

anyway...this is the one thing in xbmc that ain't working for me.

same here... have the 2004-12-10 build, eveything works fine until i try play... even chat inside arena

same problem here. pretty frustrating. it used to work, and i haven't changed any settings. the kai threads aren't much help, but http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/forum....669764d at least talks about the issue. anybody fix this?

[sarnman]

i ran kaiui.exe and clicked diagnostic, then ran xbmc and kai, and i got one game to work. after i restarted the xbox to join another game, i saw the game for a split second in halo 2 system link but it wouldn't let me connect.

anyone get past this yet?? i'm having the same problems....

is it happening on other games?

hey guys, you might want to give this a try.

run 'kaiconfig.exe' and check if your network adapter is available in the drop-down box. it should be listed by its actual name, not "autodetect and lock" or "autodetect and don't lock". if you don't see it, select "show dangerous nicks" and check again. if it's still not there, close kaiconfig, download and run this registry fix, then re-launch kaiconfig.exe.

at this point your network adapter should be listed in the drop-down box. select it, click 'ok' and restart xlink.

good luck, i hope this helps!

     i have the same exact problem  i have been through every forum trying to find an answer. its weird because it logs ya in so ya know its connected to the server. i can chat, see arenas/ all games listed when i go to a game and launch ya get nothing it works mabee 2 out of ten times i will see the arenas ex  this sucks  :thumbsup:

ok question for everyone with these problems...anyone using vonage or another voip service?

[Nuka1195]

if your problem is with halo 2 only, then update your xlink software. xlink made a change and halo 2 won't show up unless you upgrade. if you use kaid on your router, you'll have to wait as they have not updated that yet.

[Nuka1195]

if anybody is using kaid and wants to play halo 2, goto the old mode 4 arena and you can play. it's under the halo 2 arena.

[ego093]

i've been able to use xlink via xp without any problems, and kaid works for xbmc... but i'm definitely not getting any other users in any lobbies for system link when using kaid. i have the feeling that when you exit the xbmc, kaid just drops your connection rather than keeping you logged in. if that's not what's happening, can someone maybe illuminate me?

[bluffin]

yet another one with the same problem, have been trying to sort this all day, nearly given up now........ :nuts:

[weily68]

this might be for nothing as i only do halo and halo2 with friends of mine close by but...

i'm pretty sure the pal and ntsc versions of halo(2) don't play nice with each other. what are you running and what arena are you in? 90% of the folks in the xbox/fps/halo2/americas arena are using the ntsc version of halo2. if you have the pal version you may not be able to see (or join) an ntsc game.

i could be wrong on this - just thought i'd mention it though.
