I'm in a dorm, and we have certain internet restrictions, like the website where EF authenticates, and that makes it almost impossible for me to play it, except when at home over the weekends. I tried by-passing the proxy, but it just isn't worth the trouble I get into by the dorm-parents. Does AF do this too? Is there anyway changing the authentifictation site?

AF is exactly like EF in how it works.

Sure, just change it to CNN.com and it'll work magically.

But seriously, I hightly doubt it, else that'd be an easy way to crack the game.

Don't you have a way to authenticate your computer on the network and open all ports to you?  That's how it is at my school.  They still cap our up/down transfers, but at least I can play any game I want.  See what the tech people at your school have to say.

Ports isn't the issue. I'm behind a router and it works fine for me.

He says he can't access the auth server (outgoing), so that's an entirely different issue. No clue why they block it though...

I talked to the tech guy to get the authentification site (I tracked it) and the EA downloader port unblocked...now all I have to do is wait...sure hope he does this...otherwise I'm pretty much screwed and wasted money on the games
