I tried to play MP

Post by bafonetto »

Sorry for the grammar, use google translate ...)
Last night at 11 pm in Italy, I tried to play a game in MP but did not succeed. I will try to explain what happened.
Launched the SOW-GB, choose option: multiplayer (I created my nickname in the lobby option + password, etc. ..), the next step on the left saw the names of participants in the game, I could chat with them when one player I was invited to play in a new room, I could choose it and I could see my nickname on the room to play, I waited, I saw the window, but after a few minutes later appeared in the lower left that the server failed and also connection.
Surely something's wrong but I can not understand what.
My PC is a i7 + WIN 7 (x64) + 6GB RAM + ATI HD 4870 + Microsoft Security Essentials (antivirus)+ Windows Firewall + wireless + router (net).
Only the firewall (incoming) could cause problems ...
Non capisco, sono confuso.

It probably wasn't you, but whoever was hosting the game. Next time make sure the host has their port settings correct. Or you could try hosting next time. Everything you need to know to host is in this forum and also the full manual is here http://www.norbsoftdev.com/index.php?op ... 8&id=13633

thanks, little powell.
But i see the manual, yesterday.
I can create MYROOM and play it, but not when entered one created by others. On the next screen, which automatically opened, nothing happened. Go back and could see the guys who were 'IN THE GAME'
Everything I described is a game 'lobby'
How do you do?
1. create your nickname
2. Enter the password
3. Go to next page
4. aspects for a new 'room'
5. and we choose to enter
6. the next page you should select the 'unity' to play with others
Point 6 does not ever happen.

Bafonetto, my host settings are correct. If you want to set up a time to try and play multiplayer today you can PM me and we can set up a time (central US Standard) to figure out what is happening

I was one of the hoster Baf couldn't connect too. Everyone else made it to the battle screen to pick oficers except him. The game then crash ed when we started but thats a different issue I suspect.

Would not having the last patch stop him? Anything else like not allowing SOW through his firewall?

Yes, I managed to play in MP.
is fantastic! I had no doubts about the game in SP-now I know also the MP
I do not understand what was wrong last night, I did everything like tonight.
The MP works and is stable.
