jep Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 TCP/IP LAN game crash when I click GO button (a network error message). - Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 1, Athlon 1.2 GHZ, 768 mt RAM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 What was the exact error message? Are you on the BFC or CDV version of CMAK? What about your opponent? Can you reliably replicate the problem even with different battles? What happens when your opponent hosts the game, or vice versa?

1Sascha Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I can confirm that. Version: CDV (german) I tried playing TCP/IP with a buddy last night, and the game would always crash on us (either on his or on my system). It *seemed* that the crashs would occur once the fighting started, so sometimes it would crash in the first round (on small, flat maps) or in a later round if our troops took a while to sight each other. Trying to use the auto-save to resume would also result in a crash. We both tried hosting, and the results were the same. We then went to play a TCP/IP in CM:BB (V. 1.03 CDV, german) which worked flawlessly. Error message that came up read something like: "Connection lost, the game will exit. You can resume your game later with the auto-save file" When we tried to use the auto-resume feature, there would be no message however, the game would just crash back to the desktop. We both use WinXP Pro and are on DSL (same ISP) btw. Needless to say, we were both pretty dissapointed after having bitten the bullet buying the sanitized german version (I know, silly us ) and then not being able to slug it out on the web....

Madmatt Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I am looking into this CDV version issue since I nor any of my testers can seem to replicate it with the original BFC version. I heard from a few Finns last week that were encountering a similar issue so we will continue to collect all the data we can to pin down what the problem might be. There should not be any difference between the CDV version and ours, but then anything is possible. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Sasha, would you and your friend be willing to work with me to try and test a few things to try and get to the bottom of this? If so, please contact me when you can at my direct email address of Matt@battlefront.com as I have a few things I want to test and need to get some more info. One way or the other we will get to the bottom of this and get it sorted out. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jep Posted December 5, 2003 Author Share Posted December 5, 2003 We played about 10 turns without moving single unit, it worked well. As soon as we actually started to move units game crashed. 1Sascha defined my problem well enought. Except every quick batle (huge map, 1500 points ) game has always crashed before the fight start. I were suprised if it took more than 3 rounds to crash. >>Are you on the BFC or CDV version of CMAK? >>What about your opponent? CDV version 1.0, english. >>Can you reliably replicate the problem even >>with different battles? Yes. >>What happens when your opponent hosts the >>game, or vice versa? Crash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werewo Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I was the guy playing against Sasha. We both have the CDV version of CMAK and in the beginning everything just went fine. Unit buying and set up worked and we even could give commands but somehow, when first engagement was about to take place we both received connection lost messages while our commands transferred over TCP/IP. If we can be of help just dropme a message. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handihoc Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 same problem here in the uk today. broadband connection, but cmak crashed several times to the desktop. It also turned my desktop background grey. No message or anything, game simply 'de-booted' itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinzi Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi We (my brother and me) have exactly the same problem Cmak CDV (German) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Km Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Me and a friend both bought the CDV version in Finland and are having the same prob. Running it on WinXP + all patches, I'm behind a shared connection but that shouldn't make any difference. We started playing a tutorial that worked fine for a couple of turns. He has to host because of my connection and the connection loss seems to be in his end. This is our first CM so haven't tried playing on previous games.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Hi! Sorry to say that me and my brother got exactly the same problem :mad: . We both bought the CDV Version here in Germany. We can play the first few rounds over tcp/ip then the game just crashes back to desktop without any error message. It is also impossible to continue the game with the auto savegame, the game will just crash again (corrupted savegame i guess). Nice work CDV!! :mad: :mad: I don't think that Battlefront is responsible for that s***! Cmak is the first game i bought for years and now this... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer76 Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Same problem, but I have a US version and the other guy had a CDV version. Game crashes (either him or me) in the end we couldnt even connect ! Im sending you a email and description Matt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Thanks for all the info guys. We are aware of the problem and will be testing this internally to figure out what the problem with the CDV version seems to be. As soon as I get any more info I will of course be posting it here.

handihoc Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi Matt, OK, we've tested with the files you sent. Sorry to say, no go. Multiplayer game still crashes, and still nicks my desktop background. Whereas CMBB plays flawlessly. Pity. Hope you can sort it, cos cmak is gorgeous.

randomgeneric Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Okay, then how about this problem... When I exit out of playing a game of CMAK and return to my desktop, my internet connection is dead. No ****e, Sherlock! Not multiplayer, but just the regular 1 person game. I have a cable braodband connection. When I exit the game my entire internet gateway connectoid in the Network Connections is just GONE. Internet Explorer won't even TRY to open an address! I have to reboot. Happens everytime. Weird, eh? Random 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzerfee Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I have just posted a new thread on this, I had same problem with CMBO running latest UK version, I have the CDV game and so does mu opponent, we both run modern P4 machines with XP home and Telewest Cable modem connections Game runs ok if we let the computer select the forces but states that the connection to the specified IP address could not be made and we have to start from scratch attempting to setup a game up again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 The issue that bazzerfee is seeing with CMBO is unrelated to the CDV CMAK issue. We have determined that the CMAK issue is isolated to just the CDV versions (possibly related to the Safedisc protection that they use) and will be working with the CDV support team to get this resolved as soon as possible.
