[mohaa] Spearhead expired??!?!?!?!?

[Neil A. Twa]

You might have a point. It appears to be working in conjunction with the
master servers. I imagine if you pull your GameSpy and 2015 and EA reports
off the list of master servers, you would probably find that it works just
fine. Have ppl connect directly with IP and see if that does not fix it.

Something must have changed in the BETA2 copy. It was the day that I
upgraded when I had the problem.
