If anyone needs help with Fortress Forever, feel free to ask here, or on the FF Forums under "Bug Reporting" or "FF Technical Support." Either way someone will get to helping you fairly quickly. I'm currently helping in the two aforementioned threads(or at least trying to help), and I'll try to help out here if anyone needs help. |

It always takes me years to get past Retrieving Server Info. Is this normal? |

Yeah, I believe so, it happens to me a lot too. Does it happen on other source games? |

I haven't seen it happen on other source games, but then again the only other source games I've played are CS:S and DoD:S (and Dystopia beta)... my guess is that it's server dependent as I know that people connecting to my "server" either get in instantly or are hung up on retrieving server info.

Might sound stupid and redundant, but perhaps deleting the Fortressforever folder in your SourceMods folder; and reinstalling Fortress Forever. |

Delete ClientRegistry.blob and install again. |

Do you see a folder for the game under your SourceMods folder? Check to see that it's there. The SourceMods folder will be under your SteamApps folder.
It takes me probably 4 to 6 minutes to connect to a server...completely. My machine is older to begin with so the game take a few minutes to launch, then several more to connect to a server completely. It's just my older rig I suppose. |

My friend had this problem, took us 15 mins to figure out he didnt have HL2 installed on that account. |

yes HL2 is required to play as well as Source sdk tool but thats free to get.
now on to my concerns.
Is the alt-tab thing being discussed by others? beacuse that is one of the big ones for me.
and I cant seem to open console at all. I put a check in the box under the options but I never can figure out the key press it assigns to open it. |

I'm getting an error when I play it. I have hl2 and Source, and it's in the mod folder.. the thing will open up, and load up.. but right at the end of the server load up, it kicks me out and tells me:
OnGameRulesCreationStringChanged: missing gamerules class 'CFFGameRules' on the client.
??? |

What alt-tab thing? You press the tilde(~) key to open the console.

Make sure you actually have the client, because if you have the server you'll get that error. I got that error every time I tried to join the server from the server list(not in game) during the beta, but I haven't been able to duplicate it since then. It's apparently really hard to duplicate it, and we can't figure out what causes it. Look here for a final solution if it isn't the server install you had: http://www.fortress-forever.com/forum/showthread.php?p=265718&highlight=missing+gamerules+class+%27CFFGameRules%27#post265718 |

Actually, you don't need HL2, you can have HL2: DM as long as you didn't get it through the ATI deal. |
