internet play

[tigercub]

i have had all the close combat games from cc1 to LSA and i can say data transfer is much slower with TLD & LSA i can connect but not play these games because of they slow connection thow i can play all the rest.

Is the slow connection you're seeing intermittent or persistent? If it's intermittent, what is happening in the game when you see the slow connection? What are you doing to isolate TLD and LSA as the cause for the slow connection and not some other cause? If it's something we can repro on our end we'd like to do so. Please let us know, thanks.

Persistent RD_overkenskin and i have tryed to fix this with no luck plays fine with cross of iron,CC5 mods,TLD classic worked now i think about it! does it use differant ports to the TLD and LSA i can setup and start game with them but speed is bad never get past a min or 2.

i setup TLD with a mate last night same thing.. i may try the classic with him to see tonight.

Okay thanks for the extra info TC. We'll look into it to see if we can replicate it.

*EDIT*
As I was typing up the bug report for testing it occurred to me I could ask you a few more questions to help us. What internet connection type/speed do you BOTH have. Is it possible one connection is slower than another? Also what are the overall specs of both computers? OS, processing speed and memory are the primary concerns here. Graphics card model and onboard memory would be helpful as well.

Thanks.

*EDIT 2*

Also I would still like to know the answer to my question above even though I ruled it out if it was a persistent issue. Changed my mind.

If it's intermittent, what is happening in the game when you see the slow connection?

Let me know, thanks.

Game works as normal but long loading time and then when starts a few seconds takes mins.

I have laptop 2.3 duel cpu and 4 gig he has desktop 2.5 duel 4 gig ...myself satilite 1meg up and 4 meg down my bill has faster we are both in oz, added ports before to it but they only work for a LAN network.

I cannot port forwarded because of the PIstar modem type so i just found out that problem!

 windows 7 all of us, firewalls off.

I used a port checking softwear just now it cannot find my router or the 6073 2300 2400 ports that i added before...so it looks bad.

Thanks for the extra info. To re-verify - you've not yet seen any problems on any other build except for TLD main GC? TLD classic is okay? So the only problem is during loading and not game play. Interesting. I'm not sure why that would be any different than any of the other builds since the data transfer quantity should be relatively similar for all builds.
