Schrullenhaft Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I found one post on this problem in the past, but there wasn't a clear cut resolution (other than 'restarting CM'). ESC'ing / Alt-Tab'ing out to minimize CM doesn't seem to affect the problem in the past. Which Catalyst driver do you have installed ? I honestly don't know if a newer version (if you don't already have it) would help with this issue or not. Are you actually making a connection in the TCP/IP game ? Do you have firewall and/or anti-virus software running in the background ? Has CM and its TCP Port 7023 been added to the firewall list as an 'exception' to allow it to play (or not come up with a warning dialog to allow it through each time) ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwhit21 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Ok well im sure its the latest veersion, dl it the other week ago. 06.4. havent really tried the alt-tab out to desktop deal, but worth a try. yes i do make the connection, the opp made it to where we were both lookin at the battefield. i had searched but didnt find a answer or real hit on this prob. i dont think it had to do with the port thing though, but i guess ya never know. you think some antivirus in the background could cause this? i really wish i had a good memorey, then id remember what the prob was years ago. thanks for tryin to help out, any other ideas plz let me know. thanks again btw its on CMBB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I did some further searching and came upon the following threads (which may not be relevant): October 2005 - User was using graphic mods for toolbar - replaced the mods (original or another set of mods) and working again Mod replacement March 2003 - CMBO issue - resolution, opponent had game minimized during connection and 2D didn't draw correctly - start game maximized until connection. This however may not apply to you and I don't know if it is applicable anymore due to driver and DirectX updates since then (but, then again...) Starting TCP/IP session minimized (client) I had originally found a post that I had replied to (that I didn't find this time around), but the only solution was to 'restart CM'; nothing else in the thread pointed to a solution. Oh, and one other correction. The TCP Port is 7024 rather than 7023 for CM.
