T-34 vs. Tiger multiplayer update
Well, the MP worked well enough last week when I set up a game with Magnum, but we are now finding a lot of problems with it. For example, there were 6 of us trying to get a TEAM game started, for some reason some of us could not join... so, bear this in mind. MP may not work as advertised. I have revised my review.

It seems you are not alone:
http://www.lighthouse-interactive.co...b72&start=15MP It seems MP is not the only complaint with this game, checking their forum.

Well bugs and issues are there to be fixed.
Let's hope these will be soon a thing of the past when the first patches are released. HunterICX

I tried to get in a Himachi based game yesterday with 5 other players; I could press JOIN all day but not get in. Seems 1vs1 is all I can start. I did play another short battle with Tony in 1vs1, but until I hear from Lighthouse on the plan to fix this, I would NOT count on any quality MP.
SH2/DC had issues like this with the initial release but to their credit, they were in constant communication with me and I could testify they were going to work on MP further with a patch. I have not heard back from Lighthouse on this aspect.... To be continued.....

Neal, who did host the game vs. Tony? And was the host the same as with the 5 guys? It might be that this is an router problem, i.e. not having the correct port open with the host. :hmm:

I really can't get multiplayer to work...I can't find the game

Ok one or 2 things to try.. we seem to be able to get the MP sorta playing with https://secure.logmein.com/products/...pn.asp?lang=en =
Hamachi The latest Hamachi VPN lans are posted on the forum , whenever someone creates one. Skirmish so far is the most stable.. we had 4 players 2 bots around 20 frags and lasted 25-30 mins When you attempt to join press F9 key this indicates if your joining attempt is acually working.. you see the packets start to rocket up.. Last thing .. try a few time to join in MP join screen.. then press "back"... on more than one try I joined after pressing back button .. go figure.. but hell it joined !! Try also to type in the IP address of the server this has been said to work as well.. dont know why ! Also make an offering of human blood to the god of a random Lapland Elk herder.. this may work the results are not yet confirmed.. But.. like Neal when he couldnt join he was at least on the http://www.t34vtiger.com team speak.. it makes life sooo much eaiser and people can help with problems and give information out faster.. plus when Tony shouts "Tiger 11 o'clock 800 meters I no Im about to get Team killed lol

So has anybody heard any official word about a patch? I think the main reason the lack of LH support is the language barrier. Which shouldn't be just because the devs are all russian, there are translators.

LH is aware about the problems and they have (hopefully) informed the dev. Its another thing is the dev going to do anything about it.
http://www.lighthouse-interactive.co...hp?f=21&t=1490 Well, thumbs up that they will release a major patch in the near future. |

Right, but that's not really an official word from the devs. It's more like a PR response.

Quite some complaints in their forum that known bugs from the 2 year old Russian version have been carried over into the Western release. That speaks against dedicated quality support for the game. Of course it is possible that there will be a patch, and some issues getting solved. But I would not hold my breath for that the game gets the post-release support that it seems to need.
