GWX - How can we help you to play MP?

[danlisa]

There is a core of MP players but we would like more. Most MP scenarios are geared for 8 players.

We would love to welcome new players and it's very very fun. (as long as you stay away from Mr Chris's torps - LOL:rotfl: )

We would really like to welcome you, so if you have any questions please ask.:sunny:

This is not like most MP scenes were people cheat or bump unwanted players.

[Jmack]

i really would love to play online but ubi online really sucks
im trying for at least 15 days to recover my acount and nothing


argh !!!

[Jimbuna]

Try opening up a new account with a new email client/provider ie: Hotmail or Yahoo :hmm:

[danlisa]

Setup a new account. New user name & password. Or If you have forgoten the password then UBI can email it to you. I had an old username and they emailed the new password.

[Stix]

I log in every second day but other than a single server i don't see anyone in there. Probably a time zone thing considering i'm in Australia GMT +10

I think my MSN is in my profile if not i will put it there, give me a hollar for MP anytime.

PS i'm a MP virgin :rotfl: i normally fly solo :up:

[mr chris]

Hi guys if you wish to try out MP and have not the foggest of how to do it here are a few easy steps to help you along the way.
1 ) First off you need to step up a account at www.ubi.com (http://www.ubi.com/) . Make a note of what your user name and password were.
2 ) Keep you computer connected to the internet and load up SH3.
3 ) When the game has loaded up select the Multiplayer option.
4 ) Click on play at ubi.com
5 ) Enter your user name and password and click on ok.
6 ) Then you will be in the waiting room with a list of games in front of you.
7 ) Then pick the game you wish to join, then click on ok.
8 ) You may be asked to type in the password fill it in then press ok.
9 ) If you wish to be the server just click on create game in the bottom left of the screen and follow the instuctions.

NOTE: You have to have the same install and mods everyone else playing in your MP game or you will CTD.

[mookiemookie]

I've yet to try MP, but it sounds fun. Maybe I'll join you guys soon. :arrgh!:

[danlisa]

@ Stix

We can and will (if there is enough interest) post details of all MP games on the MP forum board.

But we do understand that the time difference if difficult.

[mr chris]

I've yet to try MP, but it sounds fun. Maybe I'll join you guys soon. :arrgh!:

Please do mate you wont be dissapointed :up:

[Jimbuna]

Your sure to enjoy....or you'll get a full refund lol :rotfl: :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

Well, here is the deal. What time do you all get together? We are basically spread out all over the world. I'm on the east coast of the US. I can hang out and play around 8pm Eastern time.

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

I can play weekdays from 5:30 - midnight or so Eastern time. Weekends are pretty much wide open too. I can also host if wished.

[Jmack]

can someone try to open an email acount for me in hotmail ????
also gives an error !!!! argh !!!!

silentjmack@hotmail is availabe for me to use

last name Crispim

[AVGWarhawk]

What do you normally show your games under? What day. Do you guys use TS or some other speaking program?

[danlisa]

Bear with us Guys, were all playing a MP game at the mo.

As soon as finished we'll sort you out.

[danlisa]

Regarding the time difference, we will all benefit from posting our online preference.

MP players are only too aware that others are outside their timezone.

We want to help with this by either getting more players in your zone or being available at a time that suits you.

@ Jmack - I'm on the case, will PM you with details.

@ AVG - Games are usually posted under GWX. On any day there are enough players. As for TS it has been used in the past but you can msg each other via UBI ingame. (we are a little hesitant giving out details of TS as this was the GWX dev section (I hope you all understand). However, if enough interest is shown there is no reason why we couldn't setup our own server.

[Jimbuna]

DITTO guys...we will come back asap :up:

I would like to get in on the MP games sometime. As of now, however, I don't have the time. I probably will in a month or so.

Why is it amazing? I'd say that you finally got to sense the real world by that. There are large communities which play stock or other mods.

[Melonfish]

if people aren't a fan of UBI's amazing online service you can always try Hamachi?
me and the guys use it all the time and instead of running a WAN game we run it as a LAN game (whilst still being dotted accross the country)
check it out its actually a damned good prog.

Yea, A lot of people are missing out and probably don't even know about subsim etc.. Many people don't even go online and search to find mods like GWX. It wouldn't take much effort, but oh well, it's their loss, not mine.

[AVGWarhawk]

I will join on the UBI servers over the weekend and see who is floating about (no pun) and join in!

[Subwolf]

Wish I could join as captain of a destroyer, then I could finally nail the rear of jimbuna, danlisa and mr chris ;)

[Zinmar]

I would love for them to come out with the surface version!! I would by it and start to master tracking ya'll down to sink ya permanently. :up: But, I don't see UBI interested in doing that anytime soon. Even though they saw the following taht occured when SH2 and DD Cmd came out.

[spork542]

Sounds cool. Any details on when the games will be in Eastern Time? Can I join? I'm free on the weekends and the rest of this week, as well as possibly future weekdays after 3:00 PM.

The games usually take place from 19:00 onwards GMT time. Do the math. :up:

[Subwolf]

I don't see UBI interested in doing that anytime soon. Even though they saw the following taht occured when SH2 and DD Cmd came out.

I heard that didn't work very well, lot's of bugs and problems. There will not be a surface counterpart by Ubisoft anyway, SH3 is too old now.

But I'll jump into U-48 instead, and still fight my enemies to their end ;)

Yep, that´s what I heard too. The idea was nice, but it didnt work very well. So instead of making DD3 they moved straight to SHIV.

Well, I joined a multiplayer room...ppl were GWX users...but when initializing, I crashed to desktop...

I hope I haven't done anything wrong when installing GWX and the update...I would hate to be forced to do a reinstall :S. I'll give it a couple more tries before uninstalling...

Can I play with WeaponOfficer-assistance, for example?

Do you whisper in TS, when you run silent? :rotfl:

Not at all mate to talk in game with no voice coms. All you need to do is press numlock type then hit return:up:

I have my Enter (=return) key disabled in sp (so I don't fire a fish by accident).
Can I still use the key to chat?

You wont fire fish in GWX by just hitting the enter button.
So you can enable it again:up:

[Paajtor]

:damn:
Sorry, forgot about that.
Yes, I didn't disable it...instead, I used it to set TimeCompression=1, that's what I did.

That's not a problem, I think, as long as we are on TC=1.

Right its just gone 19GMT and the MP action is going to begin.
The is a game up now Name is GWX pass is Moby.
To play without ctd you need to have the DEC 23rd patch enabled vis JSGME. And not have any other mods enabled.
SETUP SHOULD BE:
SH3+1.4 PATCH+GWX+GWX DEC 23RD PATCH
Will wait for five to see if anyone turns up. If you miss this one the will be more games through out the night.:up:

[RAM]

hummm...weird

Seems that when playign online as soon as I hit F6 (weapons screen) I lose connection to the server. happened in the first match (thought server had fallen), then I joined another GWX room, and happened exactly the same thing...


No idea on whats happening but seems I won't be setting my weapons from anywhere other than the command room screen ;)

[RAM]

.............................

when accessing the weapons officer screen, F2 view, it happened just the same. Game tells me the server has left the game, and bye bye...

does anyone know what's happening here? :_(

[mr chris]

Im at a loss on this one mate.
Do you have any other mods that the Dec 23rd patch installed?
When you removed all other mods did you roll back SH3 Commander?

well, I had other mods installed until I was told on the game lobby to uninstall any mod other than the 23th Dec one. I did so with JSME, and went back to lobby.

I didn't roll SH3Commander back when doing it...should I have done it? :S

[mookiemookie]

One thing I found out today in my first MP session with dowly and mrchris (good game guys! I had fun running into Galveston's subnets! :p )

If you've done as I have and used SH3 Commander to set time compression to 0 when planes are spotted, be sure you change this before you start a MP game. Otherwise your system will pause the game as soon as a plane appears and there's no way to unpause.

[RAM]

Well, I finally was able to play a session without getting disconnected.

Stayed well clear of F6 screen, and of command room's weapons officer screen just in case, so I don't know if the problem is solved for sure, but I was able to change the torpedo setting from the conning tower weapons station. Good enough for me :).


I will open a room up now but i will have to go to bed soon:up:


Very polite from your part, to open another one. Also very polite for helping me with the settings for MP...

but I still hate you for hitting that passenger liner and stopping it dead on its tracks just after I had fired a full 4 torpedo salvo on him :P :D :D.


Just kidding ;). It was a fun experience. I'll be there tomorrow for sure :D

All you need is a clean install with the Dec 23rd patch installed via JSGME.
Note joining the game with any other mods than the 23rd patch will cause you to CTD.:up:

What MP setup do you have mate?
For all the GWX games that i host or join are always GWX+The Dec 23rd patch. No other optional mods as they will cause a CTD.
You say when you turn off yoy firewall the game freezes is this at the not so long ago screen or while trying to join the server?

i use GWX+the patch

i turn off the firefall before starting up the game

[mr chris]

i turn off the firefall before starting up the game

But when your game freezes is it at the not so long ago screen while loading or when you try to join someones server?

[Paajtor]

Speaking for myself, MrChris, I had a freeze while the "Not so long ago..."-message was on screen, during the 2nd mission I wanted to join.
I know it can take quite a while, before the message disappears and you're finally in the command-room...but this was taking so rediculously long - with no HD-activity anymore - that I began to suspect a freeze.
The 1st mission I played with you guys, went ok.

What happens during the time the message is displayed?
Is my PC loading the other player's subs?
Is it waiting for others to confirm that they have loaded their mission?
Or is it waiting for the host to confirm that everyone has loaded?

[Jimbuna]

If you suspect your computer has 'frozen'...click Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Task Manager then click on the Applications tab and that will inform you of the status of SH3 :up:

The second mission was hosted by Von Hess and his game froze as well it was alot of imformation for his computer to deal with he said he only has 512mb of Ram that is the reason for the frezze up of the second mission.
When playing MP everyone has to join the game at the same time and as people have different computer specs it will take so people longer than others to load up, that is why you would have been at that screen for longer than most.
As for it taking longer at the not so long ago screen when playing MP it is that the person who hosts the mission has to send all the imformation in all the files to everybody else this is a lot of work and if you only have the minuim specs and have say more than 3 people in that game your computer will strugle.
I joined a game the other day that had 8 people in it and i waited at the not so long ago screen for well over 5mins. You just have to be paticent thats all.
As a rule the person with the best PC specs should host the mission but that should not put people of hosting games at all.

[Paajtor]

Rgr that, MrChris.
Maybe next time, we should agree on who's PC is best for hosting.
As there's no chat-room in the general lobby, it has to be done amongst the players who are already waiting on a Host's game (if not everyone is on voicecomms), and if someone else has a better PC, then all leave the room, and rejoin the new server.
If you suspect your computer has 'frozen'...click Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Task Manager then click on the Applications tab and that will inform you of the status of SH3 :up:
I did that, and the taskmanager said SH3 was running (so it didn't say it wasn't responding)...so I concluded that the problem was on the hosting-side, and ended SH3. :(

[Jimbuna]

Then it's more than likely to be what mrchris has already explained :yep:

[mr chris]

i turn off the firefall before starting up the game

it freezes just after the not so long ago screen

What does it say to you when everyone is in do you get the server has quit message.
Or do you back out of SH3 before that?

[rasmus1896]

i even dont get the server has quit message or anything it just stops loading before it or something

[mr chris]

Do you back out of sh3 at any point your computer specs would also be helpfull in sorting out your problem:up:

[danlisa]

The loading bar ALWAYS hangs with about 1 inch to go.

Where as the 'Not So Long Ago' message is sometimes there for what seems an eternity.

Rest assured, if you don't get the message that the Server Quit & you don't get booted to the desktop/SH3 Menu then the game will load.

Just need to wait awhile.:up:

i was thinking that i should do it for sure

[Forlorn]

How do I know if a server on ubi.com is running GWX?

[GoldenRivet]

i dont play MP because the last time i played it was all 1X compression there were about 6 or 7 submarines and a ton of surface warships and torpedos EVERYWHERE. unless you were down at 40+ meters depth you were probably going to find yourself occupying the same space and time as a stray torpedo. friendly fire incidents abound.

if the MP function is just like the campaign it seems like a person would have to spend the better part of a week or two in a multiplayer match before really seing any action. yes?

[danlisa]

When most players from SS play/host a game, it's called GWX & there is an announcement made in the MP section.

As for the TC issue, yes there is no TC in a MP game but the game is just like a single mission. When you start you're already in contact with the enemy. Now, torps hitting other MP's can be a problem if you are using homers but usually the player tells the others that one is loose. It's actually hard to destroy another MP'er with a torp unless you are trying.

I suspect that now the testing of 1.03 is over that there will be regular MP games hosted again.

[Jimbuna]

It's actually hard to destroy another MP'er with a torp unless you are trying.

:roll: and some people are very 'trying' :lol:

MP games should be starting up agin pretty soon, just keep looking for the 'GWX' title :up:
