I have the latest patch, i also have the server browser and can see servers are up, but how do I host my own server? because everytime I try it gives me the mr frosty error screen. I have the client and the server browser, I just dont know how to host, cos the server browser only tells you how to join and not to host. :(

Haven't been replying since I don't know about the wintry cool error screen error codes. What exactly does it say?

The only real way to host is to select 'Host Multiplayer Game' from the game menu. If this crashes for you, I would recommend a reinstall. Also make sure you only install the 1.497 patch and no other mods like GRM or GiantsHook.

If the problem persists, then give some more information about your system and upload errorlog.txt (located in Giants directory) to Megaupload or something, and hope Tasiin will take a look at it.

ok mate that also could be why im pretty sure i have the latest update installed, but i no i previously had giantshook and maybe GRM installed too so tht might be my problem, but at the same time, i also installed it on my girlfriends laptop so she cud play too, but she dnt have giantshooks or GRM and she still got the error, i will post the error log up though if it still happens after unloading giantshook etc. thanks.

Wait, I can't even see servers... Can I log into yours by IP or something?

you will only be able to see servers using gamespy or using the 1.497 patch. but first you must install 1.4 :)
