Are you sure the StartServer.bat points to the right folder?
Maybe come to the IRC (
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9) if you need further assistance.

Okay i finally got it working. The server starts but then I am unable to find it in server browser?! Any tips regarding doing someting. I tried port forwarding. Could you point me in the right direction?
I uploaded my router image of port forwarding

Forward those ports:
Code: Select all
TCP 18390 Outgoing
TCP 18395 Outgoing
UDP 18395 Outgoing
TCP 13505 Outgoing
TCP 80 Outgoing IP Adress is the local (!) adress of your PC
Range is in this case just 18390-18380, 18395-18395 etc.
Protocol is either TCP or UDP, see above.

As I said, come to the IRC and if you're lucky, someone can help you out and/or take a look via TV.
Also try forwarding 19567.

*Update* I started the server after the port forwarding mess done. Three people joined and were playing but I am still not able to see it in MY server browser nor able to connect through procon and bc2cc. What could it be?

<Rodney> I guess he didn't configure rcon correctly and/or does try to connect to localhost. Also I could bet his server is connecting to the EA Backend because he didn't put the hook in.
Are you sure you placed the dinput8.dll in the root folder?
