Matrix Games Forums

played a game successfully now...

Thanks...

Java...again
Is it down or just me???

It was probably down.

i just got up and checked ..reset.

The servers are still going down many times a day.

Thanks Andrew.
Time.


Trying again.

It lives [X(]...but no one there. Played AI lost..[:D]

I have question. People can seemingly join games I host...but then when I launch CoI I'm not seeing them join up. Am I missing a step or anything like that?

The manual does a very poor job of explaining everything related to MMCC3.

If you joinn BHQ in about half an hour from now i can "Test" with you on MMCC3

Question:

What Operating system are you guys running?

Me Win XP


MMCC3....1.04S

The manual does a very poor job of explaining everything related to MMCC3.

Mea Culpa... [:(] Sorry. I'd be happy to try and correct the deficiencies if you can assist and suggest what is needed.

Andrew - XP here and I'm on BHQ now. I can hang out there for another 30-40 minutes.

VonB -

Wasn't trying to be insulting...it's just that the manual does a good job of giving one the basic setup, however it needs more step-by-step procedures. For example, for a single player server, how one sets that up, how one then runs the MP client to connect to the server in order to start playing.

Or the step-by-step setting up a multiplayer game. The window where I kept hitting ok is clear once you've had it explained to you, otherwise novice users will almost always just hit ok.

The procedure for how to get a game going once players meet up on MMCC3, etc.

Things like that would greatly help the novice user. Otherwise it's more trial and error than anything.

I keep getting to the point when I'm launching the game and hosting an MP match, but my opponent never joins. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever I try to join a game I almost always get the java error and I have all ports forwarded. Not sure what to do.

Wasn't trying to be insulting...

Absolutely no insult taken. And if the manual is inadequate, then it should be improved. Maybe I can team up with you this weekend sometime and go over the issues? If I go through some connectivity with you doing MP sessions with MMCCIII, I can take notes and make an update, or something like that. It's a long time since I did any H2H games using MMCCIII...

I appreciate you pointing it out.

OK

In MMCCIII when you click on the menu Help - About

What is your version number?

I appreciate you pointing it out.

Not a problem. I'll be on Hamachi today and I'm free the rest of today. I'm in GMT -5 (east coast USA) but I'll keep checking here so we can organize a time/method of chat.

Andrew - 1.04S is what it says.

Also wanted to note....

No response from the Help Desk yet about my last MMCC3 complaint with the servers...

Patience is a virtue as far as we are concerned, and time an illusion as far as they are.... [8|]

I'll keep checking here so we can organize a time/method of chat.

Difficult to nail a day and time right now. Best window of opportunity for me is probably over this weekend sometime. I don't do Hamachi, but suggest Battle HQ. What time woud you be free from on Saturday?

I have to work until around 11am on Saturday and after that am 100% free.

That should make it around 4pm my time. Early evening looks best for me, say 8pm (3pm for you). If I have to change that, I'll pop a message here. You can also drop me a line at vonb@closecombat.ie

I'll be online and available for huge chunks of time today. I'll be home about 12pm GMT -5. I'll probably jump on MMCC3 around 2pm GMT -5, maybe sooner depending on how much I get done.

Got another update from Heath.

They are taking the matter seriously, but they don't have a timetable for when a fix may be ready. It sounded sincere but who knows. Hopefully it is.
