Error : CL_ParsePacketEntities, wtf?

[Titatovenaar]

Hi all,

I purchased COD yesterday, and got it installed on my PC and on a dedicated server, both behind a router. I also upgraded directly to v1.3.

Now, i started playing this morning, connected to my ded. server over my LAN, and got this error after about 30 sec.s : "CL_ParsePacketEntities: end of message".

What's going on here? :cry:

The error that you are receiving is one that I had a lot. Are you trying to gain access to your cod server through a public ip address. (e.g. through game spy or the multiplayer menu on cod) If so the router is not sending the packets to the correct system. When you connect go to the cod server and on the console screen look to see if you are connected through ip address 192.168..1.1 it should also display what port you are using most likely 28960 if so you have to connect through the private ip address of the cod server. Also change the port as well by right clicking on the multiplayer icon and adding +net_port 28969 (e.g. "c:\program files\call of duty\codmp.exe" +net_port 28963 When I started connecting through the private address my errors went away.

hope this helps.
