I've got another problem...
Ok, guys, this time it's starting up, then going to the Allegiance screen, right? Then, at the bottom, I click 'Free games'. Then, the screen pops up that's supposed to have the credits or something, and where you can click the 'Curent games list' button. Well, I can't click the button, or the credits, and it makes no difference weather or not I'm on Beta mode, and I can't log in with Safe mode. Is there a specific time every day when Allegiance is down, like, before 9:00 or something? I'd like to know what times the game is up and dow, or weather it is 24/7 and I am just experiencing a problem everyone is having now. Sorry, but I don't know much about the game, and I am bound to get lots of problems like this...
I AM DDTHEJJ! I RULE ALL!
Allegiance is my new favorite game, but I am running into lots of propblems with the software or something.

If you are unable to see the scrolling MOTD, there are two possibilities.
1) Your firewall is blocking all Internet access to Allegiance.exe
2) Your Internet Explorer is set to Offline Mode.
For 1), you need to configure your firewall to add an exception to Allegiance.exe. You'll say that ASGS works, so Allegiance also should. But do note that they are both separate programs. When ASGS tries to access the Internet, your firewall may pop up a notification asking for your permission to allow it access. But if such a pop up shows for Allegiance when it tries to access, that dialog will be hidden as the game is running in fullscreen.
For 2), it's pretty self explanatory. Open up IE, untick Offline Mode.

Third possibility is, you run Alleg without admin rights.
The Escapist (Justin Emerson) @ Dec 21 2010, 02:33 PM:
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.
Well, both these are pretty unlikely, for I have played Allegiance once before, and then I had a gazillion problems, so #1 is probably ruled out. ANd I'm on the internet right now, so it's not on offline mode, is it?
EDIT: Wait, I need to be an admin to play Allegiance?
EDIT 2: Also, before, I was an admin, then I could play, then I was not an admin, then I could still play, then I had a few problems, the I fixed them, then I shut down the computer. Would that make it realize that I'm not an admin, and not let me play any more?

Just to make absolutely sure there is nothing wrong with your IE settings (the Message of the Day screen uses it's networking settings):
1. Double check, that it's not in offline mode (File->Offline Mode should be unchecked; to bring up the pull-down menu bar, press Alt).
2. In network settings of IE (Tools->Internet Options) go to the Connections tab, then click Lan Settings button. Is there anything checked there? Is there a proxy server defined?
If you are playing from under an Administrator account, follow these steps to ensure, that Allegiance is run as Administrator:
1. Right click the blue Allegiance icon on your desktop, select Properties.
2. In the Properties window, go to the Shortcut tab.
3. Click the Advanced button (rightmost at the bottom).
4. In the window that pops up, check the Run as Administrator checkbox, press OK.
5. Press OK in the Properties window.
Do you have any firewall software? Are you playing from behind a router?
