halo 1 pc question~ server ??? retrying??1234?

[David]

whenever i make a server for my halo 1 game no one is ever able to join, its not because they cant see it either. ive had friends come to the server and try and join but it always says that it is retrying the server and it does that 4 times and then a pop-up says "unable to join server"
does anyone have anything i can do to fix this? thanks

I hear ya. Got the game too. It tries to join while the game is either about to end, or if the game ended. If you get a retrying line, press ESC to get out, and wait a little while, then rejoin. If you can't join in again, find a different server.
Hope that helped.
