Hola,
I'm having a couple of issues with the Multiplayer portion of the game, hopefully, someone has already had and fixed these issues. Base game runs fine.
I'm not using GameSpy Arcade, just created an account (GameSpy ID) and joining within the M:TW game Multiplayer screen to the server. Login is fine and I can see and join games aswell, chat works fine for about five minutes, then I get a rash of HD activity and I lockup solid. Also I have numbers behind my login of 7Cub7Osis, I have no idea where these numbers come from and they also change to random combinations (I do see a few others online with the same issue).
I can login and change my GameSpy account information just fine.
I've tested with DMZ Host open on my local machine, this Login fails with GameSpy. I also block WAN reqests with my Router. I can play S:TW and WE:TW fine in Multiplayer as well as many other games, GPL, il-2, Mech 4, etc.
Of course all these other game support Direct IP connections.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
