A Potential Evolution for EB Online

[Arjos]

So far with more than 1v1s, some weird partial connection appear :S

And with the same people nonetheless, a minute you can play and then it's all "connecting"...

Alright, I got my hands on a retail copy of the game and I figured out why you need to move the adapters around. Some games bind themselves to only a single network adapter when they start up, so when you have multiple adapters installed (like Evolve, Hamachi, VMware, etc.) then the game just picks whatever adapter the OS decides is the default.

Fortunately, Evolve knows how to fix this automatically, but it needs to be told to apply the fix (since we don't want to just blindly apply it to all games). I've updated the Evolve games database with support for Rome: Total war, which means you shouldn't have to change the adapter priorities anymore. Evolve will now also track the time you spend playing the game (and list it on your profile) as well as let you use the in-game overlay while you play. The updated games database should sync within 4 hours, but you can force it by restarting the Evolve Service in Windows (Start -> Run and type "services.msc" then hit OK and find Evolve Service in the list).

If you're up for it, can you invite me to the party so I can take a closer look? You can find me in the #evolve group chat.

Thank you. I should have told you about the way RTW binds itself to the adapters, but y'all figured that one out. I'm glad to hear it. We meet at the group chat under the group name 'EB Online' (w/o the quotes) so if you may, please try the party system with over 2 players. Battles larger than 1v1 are, to put it lightly, crucial :)
