H2Server oct. update

[Vicky]

Agreed!

If that's the case then i'm done with h2v.
Back to halo1, battlefield etc.etc...

Not, sure if this has anything to with it but, after that update I can't play online it says the game has closed down or you are using a different version of halo 2

Try using a gold account, if you have one. That should let you in. Most people seem to be setting up their host games with 'gold only'.

Sorry about the confusion.
I did a quick copy and paste so I could get out the door.

If you knew the exact files of the dedi servers that were updated and you know the location of the updated files (assuming you installed them somewhere with your H2V) couldn't you copy those and send them over to your other machine?

I don't have gold and have never had this problem before.

I've already tried the server files in the server map from someone that had h2v and the ded installed and had the update but it still doesn't work, could be some other file or maybe a regkey that reports a different version to the client.

Ok, i did upgrade my server, more on this when i get back.

I heard that when you have the ded installed on your vista gaming machine it would also be upgraded. So i had to downgrade my h2v upgrade to a previous one in order to be able to upgrade again. A while ago i had to re-install vista because of some (serious) hardware upgrading and i didn't remove the old install yet that's located under windows.old.
So i renamed the halo2 map to halo2-new and copied the old halo2 map in the right spot. Then installed the dedicated server on that vista machine as well. Ran halo2. Upgraded again and this time also the server was updated. Copied these files to my w2k3 machine:
H2Admin.exe
H2Server.exe
h2server.exe.cat
h2server.exe.cfg
mss32.dll

Et voila.

For people who can't do this i'll upload these files on filefront.
