Just downloaded the latest patch and Im still getting the error.

What OS are you running and what is your Vid card?
I've had a problem in the past with that message coming up on a win XP OS with certain video drivers. That may be what is causing your problem too. Update your Video card with the latest driver and try again.

sir,
lets try to address your problem 1 step at a time.

1. veryify that your downloading from the site,
www.massiveassaultnetwork.com and not the other sites with the outdated software.

2. download the current 96 meg version.

3. download the patch... www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/download.php current version .211

4. if you are playing trial and not yet a subscriber, then stop here.
play the game. if you have paid, continue to step 5.

5. download the m.a.n. map pack, www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/download.php

6. connect, and then to get rid of the trial user screen, use the restore feature. be sure to input your user name and password.

7. play the game.

8. when you get a bug, goto the http://www.massiveassaultnetwork.com/support.php web site and then follow the directions listed on the site. and yes ive used them myself.

9. be sure to copy your file ma.log from the massive assaul network folder on your computer to your desktop, so that you can find it easiier when you need to upload to the web page.

10. be sure to include in the addition information your system specs.

11. be patiencent, someone is interested in why it doesnt work on your machine, and if i can play this on a 5 year old laptop, then you will be ok too.

12, see you in game.

13. fyi i uninstall and delete the game off my machine every 3 weeks, just to be sure that i know what im talking about when i tell people how to install the game, i have encounterd just about every error you can find, and a few you cant, i have installed the game 10 ways from sunday, and it still works.

14 see ya in game
