Multiplayer ?

[bruce1944]

Now that I have my new PC, has the multiplayer issue been resolved?

[coolhandlewke]

what is the issue? i'm pretty new to this, but it's working great for me. join us in some 2 v 2.

[bruce1944]

Is your 2v2 still working?

What's with the serial number, where do I find it? I am playing the Steam version of the game. Do I need to register or I do just log in without registering the serial?

[pipfromslitherine]

Steam users don't need to use a serial - you should be able to just login using your Slithering account details.

Cheers

yeah, we've played a half dozen 2 v 2 games thru to the end. I am frustrated with what happens when a player is kicker or resigns. it seems his units just stay in place, effectively ending the game. at least i'm not good enough to win when outnumbered 2 to 1 in active units. why not either let the ai take over, or the remaining player on the quitters side?

[bruce1944]

Coolhand are you playing 2 players on one side and two on the other..turn rotates thru 4 players total?

[coolhandlewke]

yes we are. the fork seems to be the best venue for foursomes. with players spread out from pst to Europe we usually only manage 1 complete turn per day.

[bruce1944]

Interesting ! I'm playing the same scenario and the game has been hung for weeks. Happened to a number of different scenarios I had been playing. Began to think my comp was not up to it so bought a new one with plenty to run these games. That however did not change a thing. thanks for your reply!

skyrider, you need to persuade the other multi players to buy new PCs
I've been waiting ages for the next 2v2 turn, don't know if the current player has problems or just didn't play the turn.

[coolhandlewke]

there does seem to be a few players than sign up for these and then don't take their turn for days. I assumed it was them, but maybe a computer glitch? the majority of active players are able to move at least once per day.
start up a 2 v 2 fork and i'll bet we can get a solid group signed up by days end.

[Erik2]

I'll join a 2v2 and will always play to the bitter end.

[coolhandlewke]

the fork work for you erik? I have had no luck dl'ing the modded maps, and that's the only base map that provides a good 2v2 ground & pound. i'll be logging in around 10 pm est later so I can start one then. if you'd like to start one sooner i'll just join on yours. i'm a relative noob but not afraid to take some lumps to get better.

[bruce1944]

I'll jump in if I may

[coolhandlewke]

please do. hopefully we can get this launched tonight.

[bruce1944]

Its not on the board 9:13PM EST

[coolhandlewke]

we started already. erik is in, but two other guys beat you to it. start a new one if you'd like. I will be able to join in about 10 hours. password protect it if you'd like. I would suggest something simple like forum, and have it open to people on the forum.

[coolhandlewke]

so were mp maps added with todays patch?
I've found the communication between mp players to be very tough. we had a game the other day break, where we couldn't complete our turns. trying to set up a rematch is tough, with no line of comms outside of the active game. i'd like to start a google hangout for players to find games, and communicate while in games. anyone interested? it would also be handy to know when people are not able to take their turns in a timely manner, and why.

[bruce1944]

That has been an issue with multiplayer games

[coolhandlewke]

I've seen it now twice in about 30 total games played.
