Some Newb Questions regarding Multiplayer

Elena · 01-02-13, 04:53 AM

Ahoy,

I'm new to the Forums, purchased DW about 2 Months ago, and after teasing my Boyfriend with screenshots for long enogh, i finally got him to try it out aswell, so we had our first few MP Runs together. I stepped on 3 Issues during MP which i haven't found a solution for yet so i decided to ask for help here.

1) When hosting a Game, it shows me my Hamachi IP in the Bottom window, even though Hamachi is turned off. We ended up having to turn on Hamachi and play over this network instead of 'true internet' which admittedly sucks since it's got a high desync (e.g. we saw eachothers rockets sinking down in the ocean and lagging across half of the map) is there any way to select which network the DW Game i hosted upon? (Hamachi is Net I, Internet is Net II, i have Windows 7 Professional 64bit if that helps and it's not an ingame menu thing)

2) Aircraft, aswell as DSRV's and Special Forces take incredibly long untill they are Deployed in MP. It's due to the 'Quick Aircraft Launch' beeing disabled i guess. Now for a mission with the FFG-7 i was wondering if it's possible to have the game start with the Heli on Alert 15 by default so i don't have to wait for an Hour. Is there any way to place a FFG-7, issue it a MH-60 and set it so it's on Alert status 15 already as the game begins?

3) Pause seems to work in MP, but time compression does not. Is there, once again, any way to turn on Time Compression so both player (e.g. in a multi station game) can agree on a time scale and fast forward a bit? Or give the host controll of Time Compression?

Thank you in advance if you could help me out!
Happy new Year and happy hunting -
Elena.

PS: Fourth Issue appeared

If i controll a P3 or MH60 in MP, can i rearm it anywhere or are they meant for only one Flight per Mission? I know i can rearm a MH60 on the FFG-7 if i controll the FFG, but no clue if i get that possibility when the FFG is an AI or another player, and i'm in the Seahawk.
