aka_tom_w Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 oops sorry that should say "Beta Patch " Doh!! Last Night Epee and I had a great battle using the newly released v1.1 patch. His internet connection went down, he admits he had a lost his connection to his ISP. (No problem it was WAY past my bedtime anyway) I was hosting and the game was autosaved with NO problem ! Perfect NO issues so far. Today I brought my Powerbook to work and attempted to host from a NEW IP. Again WOW, Charmed, it worked GREAT I sent him the NEW IP from work and he connected straight away. BUT, (here's the problem part) I thought it "might" not work because the v1.1 version of CM still thought (and reported) last night's home IP when I fired it up. Now I knew I was at my work IP so that's the one I gave Epee but a less technically svay user, may attempt to give out the IP that the game held and reported as the home IP I used last night, when attempting to carry on an Autosaved game from a new and different IP. Its no big deal really it work fine but the game reported to me my OLD IP that I had autosaved under and NOT the new IP that I needed to give Epee to connect while I was at work. ARR It was a close game I, as the French, vs. his Germans, thought I could eek out a draw at the end but he neutralized (with a stinking ONE man Hq in the open ABOUT to get MOWED down!) one of my newly held and recently hard earned MAJOR flags in the last minute of battle to earn a very Marginal victory. But it was a GREAT game. He is a Worthy opponent! -tom w [This message has been edited by aka_tom_w (edited 11-29-2000).] [This message has been edited by aka_tom_w (edited 11-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks Matt I'm very very sorry to waste the bandwidth, because I'm too eager to play (and yes TOO lazy) to read the docs. My apologies. I would say from playing it last night and this morningn that the v1.1 TCP/IP patch "feels" VERY stable. the Game Plays VERY well Congrats ALL around.!! And a VERY big Thanks for delivering what you said you would deliver, when you said it would be ready. In today's software business, video game software especially, this is becoming a rare occurance. Keep up the good work.... -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A FRICKIN' SOCIALIST ISN'T IT??? ISN'T IT??? A capitalist would never play a game at work. Never, I tell you!! It's all you filthy Canadian socialists dragging down the economy of Canada. Just admit it. Cheers, Walter R. Strapps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epée Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 Hey Tom, thanks for the praise. After smoking your Sherman in the first minute, I thought it would be easy. But the 155mm you saved for the end sent many of my men scattering in panic, not to mention your own soldiers caught in friendly fire. It was close, and great fun. If any of you thought PBEM was great, just you try TCP/IP! Epée Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted November 29, 2000 Author Share Posted November 29, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Snoop: He must have a Goverment job. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I work in an educational institution of hiring learning.... I never really thought I would, or should have to spend the rest of my life in an "institution" but I guess this one isn't so bad. (Mostly because we get NEW Mac Hardware all the time and there are great High tech toys to play with here and all the very latest software, are you getting the idea that I like my job? I do, Some days are more hectic than others, when all the Labs and servers and computers are stable most folks around here just leave me alone , but when things don't work, well just consider me the local techy fireman because they all want it fixed and back up and running RIGHT away!). For the record today is a calm stable "good day", so far . For the record in the past election I voted for the Canadian verison of the NON Socialist, NON Democrat Party, (ie. capitialist) and they DIDN'T win! so quit with the socialist crap will ya ??
