Hey, I don't know if anyone is still playing this, but I needed some assistance with something. When I try to create a game, it doesn't let me add maps to the rotation, thus preventing me from ever starting the game. Any solutions?

Edit: Another issue. My friend managed to get one up, but I am unable to join his game. Latency says N/A, and clicking join does nothing.

We used to have a problem with this, a reinstall ensued. I'm not sure if the problem was that the game got corrupted, or that one of us didn't actually know how to do it. The way that seems to work is to click on the right arrow next to "Add map" and then double-click on the map you want.

I've not seen the second issue, do you both have the DirectX ports (2300-2400) forwarded in your routers?

I find that the original CD install seems to work better that the 1.whatever update patch that was released. They are both compatible for multiplayer, though, so it should be an issue if one of you is patched and the other isn't.

Hope this helps!

I had the same problem, the double-click never worked until I plugged in a second mouse and hammered both buttons simultaneously. Reinstallation, patching/not patching and all kinds of mouse settings didn't work.
I can't quite remember, maybe joining needs a double-click on the server, too?


Blah!

Yes, I believe you have to double-click the server. The other alternative is the arrow keys and the enter key, which I find more reliable ...
