Sorry to bump this old thread. I'm having trouble connecting to Starlancer. I'm using DreamPi 1.5 connected over WiFi. All the other games I've tried so far (PSO, AFO and Chu Chu Rocket) have worked no pronlem, but Starlancer gives me an error connecting to Gamespy. I did a search on the forum and saw a couple other people had a similar problem at various times, but couldn't find if there was a solution for it. Is this a known issue?

Awesome, thanks Shuouma! Is there a temporary fix I can apply similar to the iptables fix for AFO?

Actually no, it is a software that changes the flags on the TCP packet sent by the gamespy games.
Almost all gamespy games sends there TCP SYN with a PSH flag, some ISP blocks these kinds of
packets because these packets is sometimes involved in TCP SYN attacks.

So my software hooks into IPTables and if it gets a TCP SYN,PSH packet, it will remove
the PSH flag and repackage it.

Thanks for the extra information. I'm a software developer for a living, but don't have a lot of experience with low level TCP networking. Cool to know.

1.6 is almost ready, it's being tested but there are some minor issues. Hopefully it'll be out this week!
