I know it works cause I've been playing, but not with the 6pack, after installing the 6pack and try to log in to play it loads the lobby and stops, tried a few things but no help, I can play on other server's but only the basic.
Thanks!
been a long time since I've been in these woods!
Windows7 32Bit
Dell Per 670
Xeon 3.0G x2
3.0g Ram
4 drives
radeon 4650 pcie 512mb
creative sound fx audio

I'm no technical genius, and especially not for Orbz, but many times I've had the same problem (mainly when I've had to reinstall Orbz and THEN reinstall cp6) with the 6-ness.  So after this generally we think that we did something wrong in the installation.
So basically what I do is keep reinstalling it until it works. 
This probably isn't helpful and it may not be your problem, but either way, if it does, great! I simply posted because I've had similar problems in the past and no one else is posting as far as I can see.
ALSO, I have earlier version of Windows than Windows7, so it may be a problem with your operating system.
Sorry for me not being much of a help.

thanks for your reply, I have reinstalled it a few times, it seems long ago I remember something like this just can't quite remember, Windows7 comes with a Windows XP Mode, so I don't think that is the problem, and there I go thinking again, I can play I also have xp on another drive, once again thank you

Oh kamon troolie! There`s nothing problematic with W7.
johnieb - install Orbz in compactibility mode: r-click main installation package => properties => compactibility with XP SP2 or SP3. Then install cp6 as usual.
Orbz runs great in W7.

Shu'up, Imho, how are we supposed to know? XD I've never used this "Windows 7" and I must say I don't care much for it so far, so I must assume maybe.

Then why you presume in your post it may be a problem with your operating system if you never used that OS?

I don't presume, I suggest that the courses may have a compatability problem...O_O
