Having trouble connecting to friends in MP
« on: August 09, 2013, 12:09:59 AM »
Hello guys, first off thank you so much for making this mod, it's absolutely fantastic - especially the Ostheer!

Secondly, I been trying to connect to my friends in MP, and we keep getting time outs when trying to connect to each other's games. At first I thought it was a patch issue, even though the launcher says I was up-to-date, the menu says it's EF 2.1.0.2. - not .3. So I went on the forum here and manually downloaded the 2.1.0.3 version and installed it; although when I look at the patch version on the main menu, it still says EF 2.1.0.2 CoH 2.7.00. So I'm not really sure what the problem is.

Is it likely a bug, or conflict with our patch versions? Or could it be a connection problem and do we need to do something with port forwarding?

Thanks in advance!
