dosvetertrunk Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 I'm looking to buy this game, but I wanted to find out more about multiplayer. Last I heard, there was no LAN support, and communication online was done only via e-mail. I saw that there was a patch available; does it address this issue at all? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Welcome to the board. Currently CM is playable via PBEM only. There is a patch being worked on that will allow TCP/IP play but it is not yet ready and there is no firm timeline for it's release. There have already been four patches to the game (though none of them addressed TCP/IP) and it's been out for only a couple of months, so I think you can see that the support from BTS is first rate. I get the impression from your post that you haven't played CM PBEM. If not, may I suggest that you give it a try? PBEM with this game has a much different feeling about it than other PBEM games have. It's a good way to play the game and I'd encourage you to at least give it a try. Hope this helps.

BTS has said several times that they are working on the TCP/IP patch and it is taking longer than they originally thought it would. Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullethead Posted September 19, 2000 Share Posted September 19, 2000 NOTE: you CAN do more than 2 people in a PBEM game. So it's not like PBEM limits games to just 2 players. ------------------ -Bullethead Visit the brand new Raider Operations message board at www.delphi.com/raiderops Main site www.historicalgames.bizland.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
