Can it Be Gaem tiem now plz?

logolj2.jpg


Seems like all the older game on threads died, figured with the new demo there might be some interest in a game on.

What do i need to play?
Dark crusade (durrrr) Preferably with the two previous games for more Orky goodness (read races in multiplayer) You can get it on steam nowadays, people love steam right?
Patched to 1.2 Here or use the online patching thing

Also hamachi, which makes a virtual lan of sorts get it here

Channel: PADoWDC
password: wang

Both are case sensitive

And finally : Community map pack

If you want to be cool get on ventrillo


Under this spoiler is a handy guide to the Orks

    I would join up, but I lost my vanillaDoW CD key, so I can't play as the races I actually enjoy.

    Stupid doom robots of annihilation.

    Stupid space commies.

    Give me my Sisters of Battle!

    I would play, but my computer is 20000km away.
    I've only ever played on PA servers once, but I'm pretty good. I recall some foo trying to outshoot my fire warriors with dark reapers and no rangers.

    man I'm good

    I thought you couldn't play with people playing the expansions? I mean, its not like those races are included on the original disks, right?

    You might have to DL an update, but you can play against people with the expansions.

    We had this discussion last time. If you don't have DC, you can't play with people who are using DC. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Just comparing the number of people in the lobbies in Original vs DC confirms this.

    we have a winner.

    The cross compatability REQUIRES DC as a base.

    Second; you need Hamachi. Specifically, version 1.0.1.5, because the later version don't work well with DoW for whatever reason.
    THis is from the old thread. Does Hamachi still hate DoW?

    Wait, I'm confused. Which of the following ways does it work?

    (A) You can play with anyone else with any of the expansions.

    (B) You can play with anyone else as long as you have an overlap (ie the guy with only DC could play with the dude with DC and Vanilla)

    (C) You can't play with anyone unless you all have the exact same expansions (ie everyone who is playing needs DC AND Vanilla, and the dude with DC and Gold is SOL)

    FOR THOSE CONFUSED ABOUT EXPANSIONS AND MULTIPLAYER:

    The best way to think of it is this:
    Dark Crusade (NOT VANILLA) is the actual game being played here. To play, you MUST have DC.
    If you have DC, you can play with anyone using DC, regardless of any extras (vanilla, WA) they have.
    If you ONLY have DC, you can only play Tau and Necrons online, but as above, you can play against other people who have more.
    If you have DC + Vanilla installed, you get Tau, Necrons, + "core" races.
    If you have DC + Vanilla + WA, you get all of the above + IG.

    So basically, DC turned the entire thing around. Vanilla is more like an expansion to DC as far as multiplayer goes, and WA is another expansion that requires vanilla.

    oh.

    edit: Apparently playing the computer on hard ≠ playing against another person. I know this, yet I can't accept it.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that I had to switch computers, moving stuff from one HD to another, and reinstalling XP.


    I should probably reinstall DC, but I don't have my Gold Edition at the moment. And I <3 IG.
