Title: Multiplayer not working
Post by: DemonKingDan on March 03, 2018, 12:21:18 PM
Im sure this is asked a lot, but the Multiplayer isn't working for me. I even downloaded 2.15 and did everything to get it working like I did when I first got the mod. I'm sure there's a way to rig it, but I dont want to accidentally screw up all the settings and corrupt the game. Can I get some help? Hints could be good too!

Can I get some specifics?
like which version of the game do you have? CD, GOG or Steam?
Is the mod working in Singleplayer and such.

I'm using GOG, and the mod works in Singleplayer, not Multiplayer though, Corey says there's a way to Rig it, but he says he hasn't done it in a year. I read that in one of his posts. The mod itself works perfectly, the Multiplayer is the only thing that won't work for me. That's really it, everything else is like it should no bugs (that I haven't found) and smooth graphics and all the great jazz.

Yes. The GoG version is a bit problematic from that standpoint.
I think you should be able to rig it to work in multiplayer using tungle I believe, but I am not 100% sure.

I'll try, though I don't think GameRanger is capable, it works great with Base EAW and FOC, not mods apparently. Alright, Sir, I'll report my findings back as soon as I can!

if you have gameranger there might be an alternative solution as well.
First though, you have to make a backup of your entire FoC folder, then if you copy paste everything from the mod's folder into the main FoC folder and overwrite all.
With that ICW should start up instead of forces of corruption which in turn makes it semi-compatible with gameranger.
But save frequently because it causes a LOT of desync issues.
But if there is nothing else, there is always this method.

It sounds like a good idea, Sir. I just dont want to mess it up and accidentally Corrupt the base game due to one small mistake. I'm a cautious person and I dont want to go through the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling because my base games are somewhat fragile.
