Title: How do you connect to servers?!
Post by: Cheerios on November 26, 2007, 10:58:32 pm: I was able to play this game before, then I tried to play, and there were no servers. Is it because there were no servers? Or because of some internet problem. If anybody know's a solution, PLEASE POST ANY IDEAS!

Also be sure that your computer/router isn't blocking the connection. Windows does that to me the very first time I try to join a server after a fresh install.

If "Getting -1 servers" is your problem, then try the following (I assume you're using Windows):
Start -> Run... -> Type in ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.

Try and see if that works. I had the same thing a while ago and fixed it this way.

Post by: Bunneh on November 30, 2007, 12:28:27 pm: And I'm thinking something along the lines of [Prt Scr]->Paint->Ctrl+V->Save->Imageshack, but meh; any way you get a screenie is fine, I guess.

As for F11, I think that's only for in-game; I haven't tried it in menus or such.

The default if "F11", and btw it does not work to take a screenshot on the Tremulous Main Menu.
