I did extensive testing trying to direct connect without internet. Running packet captues on firewall and host and client showed it always wanted to go to a public ip first to 'setup the connection' and would return my public ip on the router. We were on LTE a few years ago, but we managed to get ...

<t> I played over LTE at a rural lakehouse using cellphone tethering multiple times. My opponent uses his phone and I use mine. Not the speediest, but no disconnects after the first major patch. Playing on fiber internet has speed and is solid. Having played both the old engine vs the new engine, I ...

Try this. It is called Hamachi and I have used it with great success for online games. <URL url="https://www.vpn.net/">https://www.vpn.net/</URL>

Im aware of Hamachi..however...I dont want to run the game over the ...

<r> direct same LAN connection would never work for me. Direct connection assumes both ips are public addresses it would seem. Behind a NAT which almost all routers do, the local ip is private. Direct connect looks at the public ip and tries to make that connection, but with both hosts under the ...

cool. go right ahead. Ya...when it came to italians and support...there aren't much of a match, so i didn't make the effort to put their full details down. There is also the '2' map version files missing and i left out omaha for now. Eventually I may expand it.

here is a csv of this file saved as .txt. it came in handy when i was trying to figure out where to add a few support units.

<r> Now i have played with this a bit, I ended up making this chart. Its the Default Force Pools for the maps and creates force pools for operations. This comes in really handy when planning.<br/>

<t> thanks, we are 100mb fiber internet, so i don't think it was a latency or bandwidth type of problem. Lowering resolution on both sides a bit, using moderate gfx setting, changing the host and using fewer units with elite/veteran settings were helpful. we had many more battles that did work fine ...

<t> Its been a while since I posted on this topic, but I have more information.<br/>
<br/>
In the previous mention of this, my opponent and I were remote, my game ended, but after several lengthy minutes, I called my friend and he said "we were still playing" and I could hear our battle raging in ...

this is exactly what i needed. thanks. I have been able to make small support unit modifications here and there to make the force pools a bit more flexible in operations.

Thanks for this info, managed to take a baby step and got a panther added to the germans at Gela :0

What file has all the unit numbers for reference?


And the values for default forces too.

Thx, ill take "coming soon" as in eventually vs. the alternative "not going to happen" category

<t> Lets say I wanted 1944 troops in the sicily maps.<br/>
<br/>
once i monkeyed with some file that looked like FP definitions for each op, but no edits worked. I tried small simple changes and not a lot of time with it.<br/>

Is it possible, to create a NewOperation, save it and then. Re ...

<t> great information to the data file stuff. that path leads to having more fine control for sure.<br/>

a simple and no file manipulation to fewer units. Setting "elite" to both sides appears to be half as small as regular in general. I use it for h2h operations in tbf default to keep the ...

any news?

it was minutes.i had time to sit and wonder why it was taking so long...so i called opponent and he was still playing and giving commands and clueless the battle was over. Ill see if this persists and report in.

played several h2h operations since patch...i noticed surrendering and in the cases they seemed reasonable. with combat raging i didn't pay too close attention to it. but i thought it improved from before.

<t> 2 times Friday night..i hosted default bocage as germans with both on elite settings. in at least 2 cases of battles. As the host. the game ended with a morale failure leaving one vl for us on the first map. The odd thing was, my opponent, who as we communicated on the phone, he continued to ...

<t> its all good. was able to make connects via Lobby using LTE hotspots 38ms 30 down worked well enough. game speed a bit slow; however, modern laptops,without best graphics horsepower still playable. I simply reduced the fancy resolution and graphical improvements and just keeping basic shadowing ...

<r> that scenario might make sense if both client and host had different public ips and routers. However, most home users wont have this, they will come from the same public ip, but behind the firewall the host and client will usually exist on the same subnet. Routers and firewalls don't like to ...
