Some days ago I downloaded some custom maps from T3Aonline.net. Among these were "mission maps" like Fangorn Forest - Again and normal maps. I played them in Skirmish and Local Network. The problem arose when I entered into Internet and I wanted to play a custom 3 players map: I clicked on Custom maps and then a message appeared and said: "Gamespy general error: an error has occured....." or something like that, because it vanishes very fast. Then another error comes, who says: "The connection has been lost".

 

Then I tried to enter my nickname (PolloConLuces), but couldn't (and cannot) login anymore with it. Then the Multiplayer->"Internet" button was glitched, and when I pushed it it appeared the red of the background, or maybe the letters "The Lord of the Rings...", but nothing else, and I had to Ctrl+Alt+Supr.

Then I decided to play some game in Skirmish, and afterwards I tried again, and Multiplayer->"Internet" worked! But my nickname gave "The connection has been lost" immediately. So I changed it to another name, i.e. PolloConL, and then I could enter. But I couldn't create any game, because the Gamespy General error appeared and then lost connection, and then I could not enter neither PolloConLuces nor PolloConL without having the "lost connection" error message.

 

I tried several things: Taking out of its folder MapCache.ini, playing normal maps (not custom maps) in Skirmish, and I entered with different nicknames, but I could never create a game without appearing the Gamespy -> Lost connection messages and thus having my nicknames autobanned xD. Last trial I couldn't even enter normally into the Waiting room, nor the chatroom, without having a strange message: "Could not connect to the chat" or something like that.

 

Then, I decided to ask hahaha because I know I have asked lots of things... but the game is trolling me. And the new custom maps have extreme zoom like if I hadn't got the zoompatch (I have). But that is another different issue.

 

Some idea? :(

The custom maps do probably not include higher zoom out.

This should work again now, but you might have to delete your extra nicknames first

It worked when I saw your message. However, when I entered with my nickname PolloConLuces to Internet, and I opened a new game, the "Gamespy General Error: A problem has occurred with the network" message appeared and my nick was autobanned once again. I have removed all the custom maps, and changed manually from the Roaming folders all the caché from recent maps / last maps, and with a new nickname I invented so I could enter to Internet I could open a new game!! As I expected, from the beginning Custom Maps was opened, so I put Southern Ithilien and I promised myself never try custom maps again in internet hahaha

 

However, I could not play alone with the machine (maybe it is a design setting of the internet, so that one cannot play alone?). But the big problem is still unsolved: When I logged out from internet, I couldn't enter again with that nickname, I mean, all my nicknames are "autobanned" regardless of the apparition of the error messages or not.

Now, when I try to enter with the second Nickname (the nick which could open a new game), when I push Connect buttom, the gamespy general error appears and I cannot log in.

 

P.S. I'm sorry if I make troubles making more than 1 nickname, but otherwise I can't know if my trials give good result and solve the problem

P.P.S. I can see my other 'mes' creating games... puf! At least I can't join them...

I think it has been normalized now

What I did was to remove all the custom maps. There might be some custom map whose mere existence in my folder is a problem for Internet.

I don't like my current user (PoyusMagnificus) xd could you restablish PolloConLuces again so that I could login with this nickname? Thank you very much! I will delete the rest of them from my computer.
