Does it just go to the loading screen (says "Loading...") and freeze?

Maybe you didn't put console into your shortcut:

C:\SIERRA\Half0Life\hl.exe -console -game esf

If that isn't your problem then maybe you should just use filter\update to get your games. If you want to join a friend's server just join a game then get your console (defaulted to the "`" button) and then connect.

Are you just clicking console in the main game menu? Or are you actually going into Multiplayer-Internet Games, and trying to join a server?

Ok, first things first. You need to use the
button instead of double, let alone Triple posting, because it is not allowed on these forums.

Next, click on multiplayer instead of console, go to internet games, till you see an empty OR full list showing servers. Now, click on Filter, then check the box that says "Is Running Game" then use the drop down menu and select ESF. Then check the box that says "Is Responding". Now press ok, click on update, let it load the server list, and choose whichever server you want.

That should do the trick. If it does not, come back here, and say what went wrong.:]

You need to be connected to the internet to get the list.

To play by yourself, you need to get the ESF Bots. They are in the files section which you can get to from the main page. Once you download and install them, go to Internet Games, and click on LAN. Then just create a game, press = to bring up the bot menu, add the bot, and you're set.:smile:

Once again, you double posted.

Did you use the filter as I told you in my last post? And can you take a screen shot of the protocal error you're talking about, so we can understand more of what that problem is?

Sorry, I forgot to mention you have to activate them in your ESF folder.(Double click on Activatebots.exe) And remember to press = to bring up the bot menu once in-game.

Edit:
Ok, I just took a quick peak at your screen shot of the console, and it says your half-life version is 1.0.0.0. You need to update it to 1.1.1.0 before you can play on-line. I'm not sure whether you need it updated to play off-line, but I'd do it anyways.

Theres a little button on the right side of teh postthat says edit, you can change your posts with that. And if you direct your attention to the uper left corner of the post, theres something there that says delete, which can be used to delete your posts

I'm assuming your using WON(When you start game, screen comes up saying, console, configuration, multiplayer, and other stuff. It has nothing to do with what party boy is saying(well, for the most part it doesn't) you probably just dont have the most recent version of counter-strike, just go to counter-strike.net and download the patch and make sure you have the lastest version of esf and you shouldn't see that messege any more.

I recommend you to [size=+2]STOP DOUBLE AND TRIPLE POSTING[/size] ... or your account(s) won't survive

I also would recommend to update you Half-Life ... it's on version 1.0.0.0 ... DL the 1.1.1.0 Patch and try again
and I also recommend to change you video mode to OpenGL, because it looks like you try to run it in software

and last I recommend is: don't press console ... just try to press: Multiplayer --> Lan Game --> Create Game

for bots read the readme of the bots
