Re: Minimum connection required for Warzone?

Post by The Commander »

I played several games online last night, Both of them chrashed after about 30 mins playing time. First chrash just completly froze my screen and I had to ALT+TAB out and forcefully close Warzone. The Second one gave me a chrash error but I cant upload the log because I dont know where it was saved to  :-[

This was using the latest BETA.
I am on a wireless conection and download at around 80-150 KBPS and have a ping of around 300 (500 worst)
Can this be the corse of the chrashs?

While that is a pretty bad ping, I don't think this is the cause.  The above mentioned patch isn't in the BETA yet.

What were you doing at the time it crashed?
In your directory where the warzone2100.exe file is, it would have created stdout.txt & stderr.txt.  Those may contain something useful.
and it ends here.

limit peoples armies based on their connection speed.

Are you telling me that using Hamachi is going to make my game more stable on online play than not using it and just using Vanila?

not that... it makes connecting infinitely better...  as hamachi fools the machines into thinking all are connected on a local lan - at least thats the way i read the info on the hamachi site...  the game still needs to be debugged to get it to quit giving dropouts/errors/etc.
