Hi guys,

A big thanx to DerDumeklemmer & Big Ron for this help.

When the GTL Lobby is down
1...Go to: drive C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and make a copy of this file and keep safe for when the Lobby is back as you have to overwrite it with this old one.

2...Download and install Antideco patch. http://www.altbierbude.de/donate/dip.html This will place a shortcut called GTL antideco 1.0 for GTL on to your desktop.

3...Click on this new shortcut and it will start GTL for you.

4...When game has loaded go to: Multipalyer, Lan/Direct IP, Add IP Address

5...Enter the IP of which ever of these servers you wish to join:

Server 1 & 2: 87.106.216.161

Server 3 & 4: 87.106.187. 21

Server 5: 213.165.86.196

6...Your Username & Password are asked for (may already be in place) and LOG IN

7...The servers will now show on the screen and you can choose which one to join.

8...When the GTL Lobby is running properly again you may need overwrite the hosts file with the original one if you cannot get back onto GTL.

Cheers and good luck.

Thanks for this guide.

I would only add one thing to the first step : check that your C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file isn't read-only, otherwise the antideco patch won't work. I've experienced it myself
