It's been refusing connections, so I think its server might have crashed or something. I'm kinda curious as to why GameSpy hasn't noticed that PD isn't functional.

Found a copy with the HXMs in it, in the FilePlanet directory of your PD hosted site.

Uploaded to FilePlanet, and pending upload to Dfiles.de (Checkor has to do that part).

I have no idea why the HXM files are missing from the PD copy. If I have an original, I will get the PD one replaced.

You don't have the mission the server is running. The autodownload doesn't work when the game is autolaunched.

Fusion, there is one problem with Mac compatability for MODs: The Mac D3 SDK was never released to my knowledge. Without the SDK, you cannot compile mods for the Mac.

Wasn't MAX 2 their game that required a specific version of DirectX and wouldn't work with future versions? I know I ran into problems with one of their demos for that reason (it needed DX5, and wouldn't work with DX6).
