RED ALERT, WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE!

The hamachi network now loads as max only 5 players, not 8 like before, we are really in problems now.

So, we should search for a solution, maybe Evolve, but as it's going now we will end up without free slots for Hamachi

Brave Brave Sir Robin 03:36 03-23-2012

Wow, we can't even play 3v3's with Hamachi now...

8 was manageable but 5 is just terrible.

If one of us (possibly me since I don't mind and play EB much more than any other game) were to purchase a network on Hamachi that supported 32 slots, would that work or would all of us need to buy it?

gamegeek2 11:32 03-23-2012

How much would it cost?

Brave Brave Sir Robin 13:09 03-23-2012

19$

Not ridiculous since we only need one network (it would support 32 slots). I just want to be sure only one person would have to purchase.

The Celtic Viking 13:38 03-23-2012

Only one needs to pay it.

Brave Brave Sir Robin 13:46 03-23-2012

Cool, thank you for finding that TCV. I just need to get in touch with Vartan.

gamegeek2 16:03 03-23-2012

I've got money to spare...

Lazy O 17:47 03-23-2012

Hamachi will burn on a stake. Too bad I cannot install evolve right now .

Brave Brave Sir Robin 18:29 03-23-2012

Evolve doesn't work very well for us. Some players are unable to connect with others.

You forgot hourly and daily. Doesn't matter - the answer is yearly anyway. I would suggest checking LogMeIn's own website.

gamegeek2 03:10 03-24-2012

19 bucks for a good year of EB Online is worth it, though I WILL want to run EBNOM and EB on the same server if possible (it will probably be mostly the same people anyways :D)

NacroxNicke 04:52 03-24-2012

We could try GameRanger, it works for Vanilla Rome Total War, and a lot of people plays it. I think if we speak with the devs we could access to support for Europa Barbarorum mod, and also some publicy for vanilla players, as they could see our rooms for EB.

Hm, I thought about collecting it from as many people as possible but I'm not sure if it would be a problem, we aren't all part of one country... hm.

Lazy O 08:45 03-24-2012

We use Gameranger for 4v4 internals in Sith, it should work, and is IMHO much better than gamespy .

Lazy O 18:21 03-24-2012

I need to find a way to make EB non modfoldered, it will start with gameranger that way .

Vega 20:43 03-24-2012

I was really happy today why i came here now to read this bad news......

You just need to overwrite the game's copies of the files.

Hi friends. First off, NacroxNicke please don't use that sort of language (as in your original post) in a public thread such as this. I'm no moderator but I just thought someone had to say something... Second, I was made aware of this recently. I'm concerned and am going to see what we can do. I will get working on a solution to this and I (or someone in touch with me) will get back to all of you as soon as I can.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Lazy O 06:47 03-25-2012

Lets just get on evolve by making EBO non-modfoldered? Shouldn't be too complicated for the new folk...

vartan 06:52 03-25-2012

It's a RTW-Evolve problem not an EB-specific issue. It can't be EB-specific from the looks of it.

Lazy O 13:18 03-25-2012

Mistype, I meant to say Gameranger .

antisocialmunky 20:42 03-25-2012

Why can't we go on gamespy other than the pirates.

That could work. But I'll need to know that you guys successfully got at least a 2v2 from start to finish without synchronization issues. We can do 1v1 on just about every platform. I've used GR myself for other games, just don't know if RTW is on their supported list. If it is then you don't need to de-mod-folder EB. The exe used is the same RTW, so GR recognizes it. Now that I think about it I have played RTW customs over the Net on GR so this may work.

There was major GS problems. That's why we moved to VPN in the first place (that's not even counting the latency issues over GS's master server).

Lazy O 17:22 03-26-2012

GR's problem is that it can run RTW just fine, but mods do not work because it has no option for command line parameters, if we just made EB non modfoldered, it would solve that problem as EB would then run just by clicking on the RTW exe, making it compatible with GR .

No worries about all of this my friends

New network is up and running with space for you and your buddies.

Network ID: 100-792-846
Password: eb

antisocialmunky 14:57 03-30-2012

You paid?

Brave Brave Sir Robin 18:21 03-30-2012

Yeah, it wasn't worth the headache of trying to get Rome working with Evolve or attempting to find some other solutions. $19 for a years worth of multiplayer doesn't seem like a raw deal to me. Though if you want to ease my financial "burden," donations are always accepted.

Need a hall of fame for channel buyers.
