Great demo however is multiplayer going to work?

I think the demo is terrific and a big improvement over ToW 1. I would buy it right away if multiplayer was up and running but the multiplayer button on the battlefront.com toolbar does not work for me. Is it just me? I am suspicious of their ever being a functional multiplayer because of my experiences with trying it with ToW 1. There were times where the game matching server was down for days at a time with no explanation. And now I see that the applet to get to the server doesn't even work. Is there any hope for some real multiplayer support this time around?

Thanks,

Chris

My concern is that multiplayer is not even up and working for the first Theatre of War right now. Coupled with problems in the past, such as the MP server not even being up to allow people to meet through the game, I just wonder if it will receive enough attention to actually be and and usable a lot of the time.

The MP system is up and running.

For users of ToW, we have also updated that system as well and I think that someone from 1C already posted this info, but you can make a couple of simple text edits so that your copy of ToW-1 will now connect to the updated Multiplayer Game Listing server system.

Here are those edits to be made (again, this is for ToW-1 ONLY!).

Users of ToW1 should change the following lines in the "mp.ini" file located in your 'Theatre of War\users' folder:

Change the line

InetServerAddress=

TO

InetServerAddress=194.135.103.190

and change the line:

InetServerAdressUpdate=http://files.games.1c.ru/ww2_wargame/iserver.txt

TO

InetServerAdressUpdate=http://files.games.1c.ru/ww2_wargame/n00.txt

p.s. I will want the guys from 1C to confirm, but I believe this system will now show BOTH ToW-1 and ToW-2 games as well. A ToW-2 game will be listed as version "1.0.0"

When I changed InetServerAddress=http://www.games.1c.ru to InetServerAddress=194.135.103.190 I stopped getting the 'Server search system unavailable' message. IS this correct?
