4x4 Evolution and the Q3A/UT "Connection 2"

[pcwzrd13]

I just wanted to inform everyone of a glitch I found with 4x4 Evolution. If you have any information filled out on the "Connection 2" page of Quake III Arena or Unreal Tournament, 4x4 Evo will automatically try and connect using those settings. I found this out while trying to get online with 4x4 Evo for tonight's Game Night. It kept giving me an error when "Authenticating" the connection which means it was sending the wrong username and password. I remembered that I had recently filled out the "Connection 2" settings in Unreal Tournament in order to unlock the SegaNet exclusive maps; so on a hunch, I went into Quake III Arena and erased all the information in Connection 2 and voila! 4x4 Evo will now connect fine (Note that I used Q3A to erase the settings as UT will not let you save the setting with the boxes empty). This is a very strange glitch as 4x4 Evolution, supposedly, doesn't even support a second set of connection settings. If you go into the connection options in 4x4 Evo itself, it will show the settings for Connection 1.

Anyway, I just wanted to post this in case anyone else runs into the same problem.
