BF2042 Portal - Totally broken.. no Portal "game session is not available"

looks like it's kinda working now.. but all the portal games I "followed" are gone. they'll need to be created again.. some didn't share experience codes, and I dont' know what settings were used.. have to see if others come back with them or I'll try my hand at making my own. hope chat is fixed, will find out in 5, 4, 3...
