Hi, I having one heck of a time getting the PlayerInfo call to the GameSpy Stats server to return  data. Rank, Awards, etc all work fine but for some reason the PlayerInfo call returns nothing. I've searched all over, used the BF2 Stats Wiki site to develop my little app but they claim the service is still down (which I know it's not).  I'm using the following:

http://bf2web.gamespy.com/ASP/getplayer … d=44718824 (have tested using numerous pid's but still nothing.)

Are there additional querystring vars I need to pass/request?

Thanks,
Bass

Thanks in advance to those who can help me with this one.

Not to mention that it is *technically* illegal to use that interface anymore. It's in the TOS/EULA thing you agreed to when running the installer for BF2/BF2:SF/SigningUpForGameSpyAccount

Hmm. So how are BF2Stats, Gameslave and other stat sites able to retrieve player stats if it's *Illegal*?

BF2s.com uses the new XML feed, which so far, is off limits to the general public. The one's that have permission to use this new feed, have an agreement with GS/IGN. It's a completely different server than the one you've apparently been using. They've gone out of their way, to block all traffic to the old site. It's only supposed to be used by their own app/game.

I can't say for certain what other sites use. This is the only one I frequent..

Cool, thanks for the info. They only seem to block the Player Info and no other data calls. I've already written code to parse the Awards, Rank. etc in .Net 2.0.. sucks, without the player info it's useless. In any case I learned a few things while working on this small project. Oh well

This is the message that is posted at the very top of everyone's stats page:

Some SpecialForces player's profile page will not be updating for the time being due to a bug in the EA XML feed. More...

Just wait a week. I'll have it working again. BF2Tracker is getting the same bug -- it's not a bug on the community sites end, it's an EA bug.
