<t>Before you go criticize anything, you should at least try it out. I started my wargaming hobby with armys of Romans, Greeks, Turks, Templars, Scotts, etc. The basic tactics and strategy remain the same throughout the ages.<br/>

<t>Looks like maybe you have been bit by the install wizard bug. This only applies if you did not use the default installation directory when you first installed the game.<br/>

When performing the upgrade, it asks you to choose the installation directory. After you choose it, it will add ...

I have also been running just fine since the upgrade. I deleted all of my saved games and that steel.prf file.

This version seems to have solved the sound problems I was having in 6.1. Loud screeching noises, static, etc. Everything is working great now.

Just to let everyone know, port 7002 is the right one to forward if you are behind a firewall.

Thanks for your help Paul.

My Windows PC where I play SPWaW is behind a firewall. I would like to host a game from my PC but don't know what firewall ports need to be forwarded to my PC.

Anyone know which ports I have to forward on my firewall?

<r>I was going to mention sourceforge.net as your CVS/development solution. They host the development of thousands of open source applications. I even think it's free.<br/>

I found this link on sourceforge.net. It looks like someone has already started a project like this. (Or is this you ...

I haven't done the upgrade to 8.1 yet for obvious reasons. I have noticed a few posts here about "rolling back" DX8.1 to an earlier version. I thought the changes made by any DX upgrade are not reversible. Am I wrong?

System Reload != Reversible

I had my system configured with 512MB RAM and a 128 MB swap file. I kept getting virtual memory errors. I set my swap file to "Windows Managed" and haven't had any problems since.

Something inside the game forces the use of the swap file.

Is there any way to force the game to use a certain port?

I use port 80 for my web server. If you ask me that isn't the best port choice for a game.

I want to be able to host an SPWAW game but I am behind a linux firewall. I need to know what firewall ports need to be forwarded to my Windows box inside my LAN.

I did some searching and haven't really found an solution to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have 512MB RAM and I did have a 128MB swap file. Ever since I upgraded my RAM to 1/2 gig I have never seen my swap file used at all so I didn't think that would be an issue.<br/>

I have decided to let Windoze manage my swap file for now. I ...

I just installed SPWAW version 5.1 and have been getting a virtual memory error.

"You are within 5 MB of your virtual memory limit.", and then the game dies.

I have since upgraded to version 6.2 in hopes that my problem was resolved but it still happens. Any ideas?
