Does anyone know what ports the in-game annoyances use? Maybe there's a way to block the port(s) and block the ads from coming in. IGA MUST publish firewall information somewhere...

I believe the in-game ads havnt started yet.
I wish they'd make it an option under game settings, like they did for lanuages. Personally, seeing a soft drink add in the middle of a fight really takes me out of the "zone", if I ever do get into it ofcourse.
They would probably just put i commercial that's good for them not for any other company, So it would probably be ads about games.
the closest thing to ingame ads is me getting killed by Zellers. i wont go shopping there anymore.
seems like it. all i see is billboards with ads on themmajorassult wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
really? i havent seen a billboard with ads yetmax wrote:

all i see are billboards with "RX" on them, or is it RE? I can't remember
Its E R, cause i thought it was a bit simular to EA, perhaps with a "futuristic" twist.vpyroman wrote:

And about the in-game ads ports etc, its been posted in this thread: http://www.totalbf2142.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5342
If you run bf2142 along side software like TDImon free TCP/UDP monitor, http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TdiMon.html, you will find that one of the remote connections that BF2142.exe uses is to 72.3.184.153:17475
If you go to NetworkSolutions and WHOIS the IP Address you will get:
WHOIS Record For
72.3.184.153
Record Type: IP Address
IGA Technologies, LLC RSPC-68993-1122139655 (NET-72-3-184-144-1)
72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159
IGA is IGA Worldwide and they handle the ads.
!!!Gotcha!!!
Possible solutions is to block port 17475 or better yet block ip address range 72.3.184.144 - 72.3.184.159.
I did and the game ran find. Please note that they maybe using other ports and ip addresses so in the upcoming days I'll do more testing.
maybe they should fix the connection issues and CTD before they spam us.
Better not make my connection laggy!
