von Paulus Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey there, I got this really strange problem last week, me and my friend were about to play a TCP/IP game, which worked before, but now when I connect his computer I stay stuck on the "TCP/IP connected, Downloading scenario data, this may take a few moments, etc..." window. Obviously the data doesn't download at all, while my friend is already giving his orders !!! I hope you guys may have a clue. I searched the BFC forums in vain. Thanks Paulus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 So your friend is hosting and your the guest ? Is this CMBB or CMAK ? Do you both have the same version, 1.03 or 1.04 ? They actually should work with each other, but just in case there is an issue. Have you or he changed anything about anti-virus/firewall/internet-security programs, including new components/utilities ? Have you made multiple attempts to connect during that session (eg: closed down your client and attempted to connect again) ? Did you have your opponent restart the game and then try to connect ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Paulus Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yes, he is hosting, I am the guest. This is CMBB, we both have v1.03. I don't remember having changed anything between the few days when it worked, then didn't worked anymore. I made multiple attempts to connect. We tried a new game and a TCP save. He also restarted the game at each attempt. Connection seems to work but I get stuck on the "data D/L" window. My opponent gets to the battlefield but waits for me in vain. Strange ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I believe the host will **always** get to the battlefield, regardless of the status of the guest connection. I might be wrong on that point, but that's been my recollection. Has anything changed on your opponent's computer; updated anti-virus/firewall, etc. ? I can only guess that something may be interfering with the connection, which would often be some sort of software firewall/anti-virus utility, etc. You both may want to temporarily disable any internet-security applications you may be running and see if the CMBB connection is anymore consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Paulus Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 I haven't heard of any changes for him but well, I gotta ask. Anyway I should try a connection with another player, this may help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
