Broken GameSpy Games
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:50 am
If you guys want OpenSpy to support some games, please list them here, and possibly provide what is not working on OpenSpy with them, and if possible, a packet dump of you atttempting to play the game on OpenSpy(and a packet dump of it working on GameSpy previously, if possible).
I suggest even games which are working on GameSpy be added if they don't work on OpenSpy, so that they can work for the future.
Again, please provide packet dumps of them working on GameSpy(if possible), or trying to work on OpenSpy, so I can see where it fails, and compare the differences if applicable.
*edit*
Also, it's important to note where it fails for example, if it fails at logging in its the login server at fault likely server listing, master server etc but still a packet dump is the most useful.

I've seen people are exporting the packet dumps as text, its a lot easier for me if you save it as a wireshark capture(.pcap)

Here's a quick guide on using wireshark which will capture packets in .pcap files which CHC can use more easily than a text file:
1. Download Wireshark here: http://www.wireshark.org/
2. Use Internet Connection Sharing on your computer or a bridged network cards on your computer. Plug your PS2 into your computer while using one of those methods.
3. In Wireshark click on "capture" at the top of the page then click on "interfaces". Identify your network card on your computer that the internet cable from your ps2 is plugged into. Then click "Start" to start capturing packets from your ps2.
4. Connect to the online mode of the ps2 game.
5. To stop the capture click on the little icon with the red and white circle on it. It is the 4th icon from the right, and is located below the "view" link.
6. To save the captured packets click on the floppy disk icon which is about 3 icons to the right. Then upload the .pcap file to a website and link it here. Favrenation recommends sendspace.com for this
