'failed to join game (GS)' message HELP!!

[leonardo davinci]

hi all,

i really enjoyed playing single player, but now i want to try my tactics against better and smarter opponents. that way i can see my mistakes and learn form them. but every time i try to join a game, it says: 'failed to join game (GS)' does anyone know what this means, and if i can overcome that? hope so.

Have you downloaded the Multiplayer edu v2.0? Here is a link to the necessary files you will need to play online.

That's not the problem here and I'm not sure if leonardo wants to play EB. Are you trying to play online (via gamespy) or LAN (perhaps via hamachi), leonardo?

[leonardo davinci]

that's right, i don't play europa barbarorum. i am trying to play online. i always can log in and see the games, but when i click join game it says 'failed to join game (GS)'.

First make sure your ports are forwarded. To do that, go here

www.portforward.com

Then make sure Firewall recognises these ports, to do that, see here,

Also see the gamespy link on the same page.

Hope that solves it, it worked for me, I had the same problem.

Listen up. The Campus Martius is a sub-forum of the Rome: Total War forum, not of the EB forum. It is only linked to from the EB forum. If a person does not mention EB in his post, please do not assume the question to be regarding EB. Remember, this sub-forum is shared for all Rome and its mods.
