Multiplayer Question
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2018 4:25 am
I bought SOW Gettysburg from Norbsoft when it first came out but stopped playing it because we always had problems connecting up for multiplayer. It is the reason why I never bought SOW Waterloo but tonight I saw the following on the SOW Gettysburg product page:
New Routing server for flawless multiplayer play Multiplayer online combat in several modes, including: Standard opposite sides, cooperative play versus the AI ,play embedded within historical battle scenarios.
When I looked at the Waterloo page it had the same information about multiplayer. If multiplayer has been made easier I would be interested in not only the SOW Gettysburg add on battles but also the SOW Waterloo bundle.
However I cranked up SOW Gettysburg and the multiplayer screen was exactly the same, with the option of lobby or direct IP. When I tried to connect up to the server a message came up saying "Failed connection attempt to NAT server"
My SOW Gettysburg is updated to version 1.61, the latest so how do I activate the "new routing server" to see if it works as well as it says on the product page? I also posted this question on the SOW Gettysburg forum but it has way less activity then this one and since it sounds like both games use the "new routing server" I thought I would have a better chance of getting an answer by posting here too.
Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.
