i think u have to route the acclame domain to the right ip with your host file. search on the real 2moons board for an solution. i saw several topics about that.

i never had to do that before. i just installed the game and it ran, i know the server is online because i can still play on my other pc's. ive done all the windows updates, all the driver updates etc, its got me. short of throwing it in the pool then tying it to my car and taking it for a drag im out of ideas, will look into you suggestion.

I got same issue today. After reinstalling game.... After a while of frustration and reinstalls and pak switches with no results. I did get it working :) I figured this out... however the files originally were edited by toxin a ways back for something i borrowed from him. Anyway i figured they might work for this and they do. The original files might even work but I didnt bother to try since this did!! Simply use my folder or place your your USA folder under SHARE. Heres the link to download the fix. Feel free to thank me if it works for you:D

just put the extracted usa folder into the data folder.

the path should be "2Moons/data/use/share" ;)
