Where is everyone meeting for MP games?
 
Hyperlobby has been dead a long time now. Where is everyone?

OneShot 12-05-05 12:28 PM

On my end I usually use some sort of Instant Messenger and its mostly adhoc games. But with the new patch GameSpy Support was officially added and GS opened up a new Game Room for Dangerous Waters, so that would be one place. Another solution would be to post your Availability times on the Commanders Academy & Dive Center (CADC) Calendar or look if someone already posted times and check if you can play then.

Nevertheless you could pay a visit to the CADC (former DW Tips&Tricks Vault) and look around, maybe post some Tips of your own.

Cheers

Yep but if people start using gamespy it would help, ie the fleets that are going.

I log on most nights and see null people.

Maybe I'm missing something here.
I dowloaded the 1.03 beta patch but there is no way to acess gamespy from within the game.
Do I have to download a specific client to make it work ?

No, fire up GameSpy, and click on DW.

You're talking about gamespy arcade 2.0 ?
To be honest I prefer Hyperlobby over the basic gamespy because of the absense of ad-ware in Hyperlobby.

Game Spy comes with 103 beta patch and the retail version.
Not much activity though (on both HL and GS). :down:

Wierd, I didn't find a gamespy program in the patch. :shifty:
The only file I have is an icon file of gamespy.

Yep, quite some time has passed.
I have been busy, stopped playing dw for some months because of falcon 4 allied force (had to learn the cougar hotas i bought hehe...).
Then real life kicked in, had other priorities so computer gaming suffered a lot.
I'm now waiting for the final release of the 1.03 patch before starting multiplayer again.
I hope they will release it before christmas :) .

I didn't forget that, but I'm still playing from time to time single player.
Haven't tried yet multiplayer. :(

Gamespy installed itself in its own program group on the Start Menu instead of being inside SCS where you're probably looking for it.

Nope, i searched everywere on my computer and it was not installed.
I don't understand.
DW was already installed with the latest fixes (no mods).
Then I installed the 1.03 beta patch and everything works fine (except for the gamma bug) but no sign whatsoever of gamespy.
The only sign of gamespy I was able to find was the icon file in DW folder and thats it.
Its a real mystery.
