Thomas Davie Posted January 7, 2000 Share Posted January 7, 2000 I'm aware that it will likely not be included in the initial release for the game, and will probably be provided as a downloadable patch. Fair nuff. But, my question is; will a 3rd demo with the networking code included be released or will a patch that will include tcp/ip play into the gold demo be made available? In other words, will I have a chance to assess h2h play prior to purchase? Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlichtingen Posted January 7, 2000 Share Posted January 7, 2000 A somewhat related question... that doesn't need an answer now: When the tcp/ip patch comes out, could you include the port # in the documentation? Those of us behind firewalls need that to let the info through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Rock Posted January 7, 2000 Share Posted January 7, 2000 (Post of tangential relevance follows...) For what it's worth, I'm playing a game of CM right now on a LAN at the uni I work at. (My opponent is currrently trying to fight off my assault in Chance Encounter). Currently we need to use a workaround, using PBEM and a shared file. Clumsy, but workable. The point of this is that this game is going to be *really, really* fun when the tcp/ip is in. I mean, taunting on email is fine, but for a real hoot nothing beats doing a happy dance when your shreck teams have ambushed their second Sherman, and your opponent is swearing because he *still* can't see them.

Doug Beman Posted January 7, 2000 Share Posted January 7, 2000 Another workaround (and one that works fine my me) is to get on AIM or ICQ and swap files that way; it's still a little slower than TCP/IP because the two players can't be doing stuff at the same time, but I personally like using AIM to chat, and will probably prefer it to a chat feature in-game [no offense to BTS, but I like to be on AIM to talk to other, non-CM friends (gaps, yes I have them!)] DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
