Yes, it's the mods that have been screwing things up.

I've made more changes that should deal with them.

Okay, I've released an update. GameRanger should no longer get confused between the demo and full CC5.exe files.

I'm not encouraging anything of the sort. I'm not familiar with the mods for CCV, so I figured it's possible some of them overwrite files.

Okay, here's what's happening. Both the demo and the full version have the same executable name "CC5.exe", so GameRanger does additional tests to distinguish them. It has currently been looking for the file CC5.icd, which should be in the same directory as CC5.exe for the full version. For the demo version, it expects that file to NOT be there.

ZAPPI4 and Panzermayer, do you have any idea why the CC5.icd file isn't there with your installs?

These are the changes I am going to make:

CCV
Require: Data\Campaign\Airborne Attack

CCV Demo
Require: Graphics\Message1.bmp
Require NOT: Data\Campaign\Airborne Attack

Anyone see a problem with using this criteria?

Thanks for trying it out guys, I'm looking into the CCV/Demo problem.

It may take a little time to build up momentum, so don't be too discouraged at the start.

The best thing you can do is encourage others to try it, and perhaps idle with a CC game room open while you do other things. (Maybe turn off all GameRanger sounds except "Player join my room")

That way other newcomers will see you are interested in playing, and you'll hear when they join your room. Even if they leave before you come back, you can right-click their chat text (or the << Name has joined the room >> text) and view their profile or add them to your Friends List to catch up with them another time.

Hi all, just thought I'd let you know about a new multiplayer network I've created for playing the Close Combat series online called GameRanger. The actual list is:
- Close Combat I
- Close Combat I Demo
- Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far
- Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far Demo
- Close Combat III: The Russian Front
- Close Combat III: The Russian Front Demo
- Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge
- Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge Demo
- Close Combat V: Invasion Normandy
- Close Combat V: Invasion Normandy Demo
- Close Combat: Cross of Iron
- Close Combat: Modern Tactics

Basically, GameRanger makes it quick and easy to play your friends online.

It has full lobby support for over 500 different games and demos (including the Close Combat series, of course), without the hassles and headaches that usually happen with network connections (eg. routers & firewalls).

Based on the threads in this forum, it looks like quite a few people have been having problems.

I'm really excited to be releasing it, and hope it helps boost the CCS community by allowing people to play that were unable to until now due to problems with opening ports, etc. The more barriers that can be removed, the more likely the community will stay strong, as new users won't be put off. You should find this far simpler than the other cumbersome methods you have been forced to use.
