Cannot Log In to Multiplayer Lobby

This exciting new release is a faithful adaptation of the renowned Conflict of Heroes board game that won the Origins Historical Game of the Year, Charles Roberts Wargame of the Year and the James F. Dunnigan Design Elegance Award, as well as many others!

Designed and developed in cooperation with Uwe Eickert, the original designer of Conflict of Heroes, and Western Civlization Software, the award-winning computer wargame studio, no effort has been spared to bring the outstanding Conflict of Heroes gameplay to the computer. Conflict of Heroes includes an AI opponent as well as full multiplayer support with an integrated forum and game lobby. To remain true to the core gameplay of the board game, the PC version is designed to be fun, fast and easy to play, though hard to master. The game design is also historically accurate and teaches and rewards platoon and company-level combined arms tactics without overwhelming the player with rules.

Cannot Log In to Multiplayer Lobby

Post by z1812 »

When I try to log onto the Multiplayer lobby it tells me to use the Slitherine Login info associated to my games serial number.

However I did not buy it with a Slitherine account. I bought it with a Matrix account.

I presume I use my Matrix Members club id to log on.

However it also says that logins must be at least 6 characters long and mine is only 5.

The login screen automatically has my login name with a underscore in front of it to make it 6 characters. Fine. I use my Matrix member password and try to log on.

It starts to log on and then I recieve an error message that says " Syntax Error". I m hoping someone can help me with this.

Hello Z:

I registerd to create a Slitherine account. I am not sure a Matrix account will do it.

Thanks for your response. I will try that but it stipulates that the account has to be associated with the game serial number. So I don't know how that will work but I will try right now.

I have accounts at both and bought this game at Matrix. Never had a problem with login but maybe it checks both places and I am usually login in at both.

Edit: I just went through the motions and noticed that it does ask for Slitherine login. I must have done that but don't have a problem with buying the game at Matrix.

That did not work. It tells me that the email is already in use. And of course it is by me.......... If I try to login with my Matrix information it does not work.

Thanks for your reply Junk.

I registered a new account at Slitherine. When I tried to register my game it said it was already registered.

When I then tried to log in to the multiplayer lobby it said my login was not associated to my game serial number.

I hope someone from Matrix or Slitherine checks this thread and can sort it out.

I use the same email addy and screen name at both but different passwords. Try "forgot my password" at slith.

Ok I:

bought and registered CoH at Matrix only

have accounts at both with email and screen name the same but different passwords

You may already have a Slith account and don't remember. You do not need to register the Matrix CoH at Slitherine to play or login to the lobby.

As JD said try to reset your Slitherine account password. Search your emails to find one from them. The email usually has your login name included.

I assume you get the "Enter Serial Number" screen when you click Multiplayer? This should be filled in already (at least it is in mine).

Good luck,

Gerry

Hi Junk,

That was the solution. I already had a slitherine account I had forgotten about. Did as you suggested and all is well. Hopefully I will see you in the lobby sometime.

Hi Gerry,

Thanks for your responses. Hope to see you in the lobby as well!!

John
