As I understand it, multiplayer can only be run in campaign or Skirmish mode.

The best way to fly safely would be to pick birds that are behind the lines and take them for a transfer mission.

Then if you want to engage targets, engage friendly targets. (they never fire back). If it helps, don't think of it as blue on blue fire, but as firing at a drone.

Always! Anyone up for some multiplayer tonight?

Ok guys, AMRAAM has been generous enough to give us a server for multiplayer that has been up for 125h 41m now and i never see anyone on it If anyone needs help on how to set up for multiplayer, drop me a PM. Heres the link to the server list: http://hoxdna.org/eech/

That server just crashes with some missing file for me?

What Version of EECH do you have? I can connect to the server okay (but that is a LAN connection to the server, not a WAN connection).

Is anyone else having issues and is unable to connect to the server?

I was able to connect to Amraams server after tinkering around with it a bit. I was getting a very good connection. Anyone looking for a wingman online PM me. Ive never played EECH online with others so im rly looking forward to the new experience.
Thanks for the server Amraam. Im glad this sim is being kept alive, especially for those who like to fly the Apache and also for those who dont have a super computer at their disposal.

As long as people can connect that's the main thing .

I seldom have time to fly these days, but I do try to watch the screen and see if people are on.

the server mission has ended i think

AMRAAM server is up, had no problem connecting to it, but unfortunately I found myself alone.
It's been 6 years since I played EEAH, and when I've installed the bare version I dought at GOG...
well, let's say that graphics were not so impressive as I remembered it :P
but then... I've downloaded latest patches made by community and WHAT A CHANGE, and a new hellos to fly!
THANK YOU ! ...to those who still work on EECH.

Now, I'm looking to team up with someone and try multiplayer, any takers?

just to be clear, can you share the cockpit with another player, one is the pil;ot and one is the gunner? Or only play as seperate helos, same pilot controlling both pilot and gunner stations as in single player? thx...

Only separate helos.

Hi!

I and an other guy play multiplayer with this sim. We have a little lag, but this is our smaller problem. The bigger is that the client player's machinegun is useless. If I wait long time and then fire, all the ammunition is gone with one shoot. But it's blows amazing

Are there anyone who figured out something with this problem?

I also have this exact problem

If a client fired thier gun, stopped firing and then went to fire again later, the ammo count would be as if the client had never stopped firing in the first place. Perhaps there is some kind of disconnect between the host noting when the client has ceased firing.

I don't know if this was a bug introduced by the community modding, but it would be great to see a fix!

An additional issue, I can run MP fine on my Vista machine, but the laptop i'm on at the moment has Windows 7 and I can't seem to find any games in MP.

Can anyone let me know what settings you are using to get it working in windows 7? I'm keen for some MP on AMRAAM's.

Guess not

Floydii, I'm playing on a Vista laptop, got it patched up to 1.13, but can't find any M/P games .... what's the trick? Thanks, Andy ( Poochies on A:AA)

someone needs to host one for a start (Amraam's server is down). It can be easily organised though. I'm currently in transit, but would be keen to organise a game later on.

This is technical issues aside of course.

When it comes to hosting EECH the far better option is to host on a separate machine. In the past i hosted both EECH and EE2 exstensivly on and old 2.4ghz P4 running winxp with very few problems. You just need to add an old PC onto your home LAN, then forward the EECH DX7 ports to the server PC. The host connects from their gaming PC by entering a LAN address and the Clients connect via the WAN address. Playing as well as hosting on the same PC is very problematic in that everytime the host has an issue the server will crash losing all campaign progress.

ok thx guys, I'm back in UK for a couple days let me know if anyone wants to try this... unfortunately i'm in hotel on wireless and it would be tough to do the port forwarding thing with their router ... am I doomed to no M/P then??? even with IP to IP ? thx !

Since I tried Apache vs. Havoc about a decade ago, I always wanted to have a real human wingman, so it would be great if we could revive multiplayer in EECH, and if anyone can put up a serve then don't wait anymore, bring it up!
