Dawn of War this coming weekend?

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2004-11-08 10:29pm

My copy of Dawn of War should arrive in a few days, just in time for the weekends.

Inspired by the Starcraft thread, I was wondering if anyone could be interested in a small multiplayer match amongst DOW players?

Sounds good. I was feeling left out once I remembered that Blizzard had disabled by CD-key without warning or explanation.

On the off chance that you need it, I live in the Central time zone.

I'm in Central too. If possible, I'll give it a shot.

IF you lot can put up with a dialup user, and IF I'm not in the middle of moving at the time, I could dust off my copy. I retired for a while after realizing the sad state of the general online playerbase...a newbie like myself shouldn't have been able to rack up something like 15 consecutive victories before finally losing to a 3v1

Klan Nub will crush you all. Name a time.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2004-11-14 11:55am

Meh, I'm gonna get mashed, stopped playing a while ago. Ah well, all's fun in love and masochism.

EDIT: I should be around most of the day, about to go grab some food. I need to patch up, too, but I'll set that to DL before I go eat. Yes, I'm on dialup, but I get 8-hour stability, and I doubt our game's gonna last that long

EDIT 2: 1:22 PM EST: 5 megs remaining on patch DL. What's the word?

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2004-11-14 01:54pm

I'm getting error messages on my copy when I DLed the patch...

Has a bunch of fixes for patch errors. Hope it helps, my patch went fine.

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2004-11-14 02:45pm

I had the "corrupted" issue too. What fixed it for me was deleting several older games, freeing up about 2 GB.

Alright, everyone who /has/ a working copy of 1.1 DoW, sound off and give times you're available. Let's get a working count going.

Me, from now til 1-2AM EST, with a dinner break somewhere in there. DoW 1.1 tested in skirmish.

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2004-11-14 04:09pm

Roughly the same times as Haven here.

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2004-11-14 04:46pm

I am free today, and hopefully most of tomorrow.

I didn't notice there were so many replies here so I thought no one was interested but looks like I'm wrong.

Should we play a game just online, or should we try to do that direct hosting thing?

Shinova · Post by **Shinova** » 2004-11-14 05:03pm

If I can have a volunteer to test out my direct host game:

Game name: sdnet

game password: wong

IP address: 68.4.72.167

Let's just see if it works, first of all.

EDIT: If one of you actually joins up and I don't speak, it's cause I'm here.

Brother-Captain Gaius · Post by **Brother-Captain Gaius** » 2004-11-14 05:10pm

I'm in.

If Take & Hold isn't on there I'll be forced to purge the unclean.

As requested, Inquisitor!

EDIT: So, yeah it works. The map's currently set to Mortalis (better for a quick take and hold game) and I'm just gonna leave it on for anyone to join; if we have enough willing people at any point, we'll start and see if the game works.

GAH!!! My W40k.exe encountered a fatal exception error in the middle of the game!!

But it was a smacking good one though.

You were getting shredded by the AI.

My Force Commander saved your ass. Heroicly.

My end score was also "13371"

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2004-11-14 06:13pm

We won, if it's any consolation. Try again?
