Comments (What you tried, description, etc):I uninstaled and reinstalled allegiance. Nothing else has been installed or uninstalled since yesterday.


1. You click the "Allegiance" shortcut on your desktop, or in your Start menu
2. ASGS opens up, and awaits your callsign and password.
3. You type in your callsign (and squad @TAG if you have one) and password.
4. You click "Sign in"
5. Allegiance opens up
6. You click "Free Games" at the bottom

Every thing works to here.. The MOTD doesnt start and the games list button stays purple while the main menu button does change to red.

7. You see the Message Of The Day (MOTD) scrolling. AutoUpdates are performed if necessary.
8. You click the big wide "Current Games Listing" button below the MOTD.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

I think I resolved the problem.. It was a "dot net" issue.. I only installed it to play allegiance in the first place.. so after reinstalling allegiance didnt work I uninstalled and reinstalled "dot net framework" and allegiance. Now it will connect.. I dont know what happened with "dot net" or why it happened. But now it works..

Pretty weird, as .Net was already working (ASGS needs it to run).
Glad you solved the problem, enjoy the game.
