wierd icon

[fraghawk]

can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?

EDIT: sorry I'm having a rough day.

The icon just means that you only have one stripe rank, which does not meet the minimum requirements for the Autohost, go play some more to level up and join that particular host later when you have.

ok, for 1. i mean the ! in the triangle. for 2, im a noob, and therefore, dont know where th look for help. (execpt in this forum) and for 3, im not a smurf because ive never been able to join any game at all. for 4, what are the names of these non rank servers

Ok, Cromgroth... whats the point of blurring out anything there?!?

- It just makes it hard to see what is really going on when everything has been edited to hell. A small red circle or arrow on an otherwise unedited screenshot would have sufficed.

- The ostentatious pink text I think would have been enough to tell you your rank is not high enough to join the game.

- Of course you took the time to blot out at least some of the names of the server and players, so I'm assuming you had time to read it.

- And you also have written a cohesive sentence (although with a lack of any proper punctuation), so I think it is entirely plausible that you do have the capability to read as well.

Now these aforementioned points lead me to either two conclusions:

• 1. You are a smurf of a troll baiting people in the Spring community into a massive flamewar
  
  2. You are a lazy bum who doesn't care to actually make the effort to read anything that might be helpful and of use. (and this post would largely be useless anyway, but oh well)

But since you took the time and effort to not only post a picture in an internet forum, but EDIT out names to attempt to obscure the identities of those involved, you obviously have put in a great deal of effort, and well... that only leaves one option left.

tl;dr: play in some rooms with no rank limit to get some rank

Someone's trolling here but it is not him...

look at the included image

Hmm - most of us use TASClient, which is Win32 only and has different icons. In TASClient, a triangle with an exclamation mark is simply informing of hole-punching, but that's usually in reference to the server itself and not a player in the players list. I assume that in Spring Lobby it's a sync error, meaning that your game data files don't match with the host's game data files.

Or in this case, simply showing that you don't have the map.
