Need some help.

Hello, TAW. 
I've heard about you all for some time but I've finally been able to get my hands on a game called Quake Wars.
As it turns out, I think this game is incredible, and I'd love to join your servers online, but it says "Connection Denied" with reasons being as follows:

"Can't connect to the pure server: no downloads offered."

All servers listed as "Pure" have the same response.
Any help that I can get regarding this would be appreciated.
Hopefully I can play with you all soon and maybe even join, if my skills permit.

Thanks in advance! 

I'm not from the Quake Wars division, but I did a little research of my own regarding the issue for you.

From what I can tell, Vista/Win7/Win8 have some issue where you need administrative rights to edit .DLL or PAK files?  Apparently pure servers use/download these files when you connect them.

Try running the game/server/etc with "admin rights" and see if that helps.  (Perhaps the old right click, "run as admin" will do the trick.)

If this doesn't work, just wait longer and hopefully someone from the Quake Wars division, whom is more knowing than I, will post a solution for you.

Good luck!

Hi.

The people that you should contact is depending where you are from.

Europe, contact Chronicler ( chronicler@taw.net )

North America , contact todbot ( todbot@taw.net )

These two guys are in charge there and knows what to do, or at least will have a more server technical guy to help you !

Cheers

I might be able to help you but I would need to know more about things.

Are you european?

In any case maybe you can e-mail me at chronicler@taw.net and I will try to help, I will be on teamspeak this evening around 20 GMT.

Thanks for the help, people. :)
I'm from North America (east coast if that helps).
I tried running the game as an Admin, didn't really solve the issue.

I have no idea what's going on but after a little bit of looking it seems TAW are the only humans actually playing Quake Wars anymore. 

Hello, I registered here to ask if solution was found to OP problem.

I have the same problem with Quake Wars:" Can't connect to the pure server: no downloads offered."

Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the latest patch installed (1.5)? If so, are you connecting to a custom server? Either of these may be your problem, and you may have to install the patch/mods/maps manually.

Which servers are you having these issues on?

Thanks for fast reply.

Yes, I do have patch 1.5.

I can join only one server called Murdie - ETQW.

Every other server I am trying to connect to gives me same error: "Can't connect to pure server: n downloads offered."
