I don't use ICQ.

ICQ, for some reason, causes my computer to crash and then, I wll have to reformat my hard drive and lose files.

We don't need ICQ to play, do we?

It's just far easier than posting on a board. Let me know when you're starting a game, or join the GSS irc channel.

My first try to play online..

Saw the game, Got in, campaign loaded up, was in the map, saw 3 players finishing up a transfer mission, I clicked on log and it it dumped me to the desktop terminating a game. It was a first dump ever with this game so I think some aspect of online game caused it. I started a game again and saw the game with my name in it together with 2 other players but couldn't connect.

I figure that the numbers when connecting state your ping, and when it says generating campaign it gets all the unit info from the host which makes me wonder if having a skirmish makes for a faster connect. Lebanon skirmishes are still big and with a lot of units and action so it allows people to fly for some time and it perhaps is better then the campaign since it may take less time for people to connect. I don't know it if actually makes a difference connecting to skirmish or a campaign.
Soon it won't matter since as I type this my foot is resting next to my dsl modem which I just got and is hooked up but without a signal from local dsl. I'm calling them asap.

Hi Fein.

Were you Devil14?

I saw you connect twice but I couldn't talk to you.

Make sure you have the correct version 1.4.5.X too

That was great, except for the getting kicked out part. It dumped me back to the campaign menu, and it said I was in the game. So I tried restarting/reconnecting but no luck. Oh well, mp really kicks ass. Everyone should post IPs when they have a game up.

...and on that note, I'm going to start a skirmish game.

IP is 209.179.137.80

Be warned, I'm using a 56k and I'm on the west coast. Gonna see how it works out though

Played about a 6+ hour campaign game last night ..there was just 2 of us on cable but it ran smooth as silk with me hosting and BladeX hosting roger wilco. We started about 9pm and quit when it finaly crashed about 3:30. So I think in the future it may be a good idea to reboot every couple of hours.

But over 6 hours straight isnt too bad I would say before running into any trouble

Yes that was me.
Good thing there is the save option so that people can take a break and finish it up at agreed time.

So if the number rising during connecting is ping mine was 300 which is ok for modem.

*stares down dsl modem*
