Hey all. I recently acquired CC5 and have been trying to play in under Windows XP SP1 on gamespy. It'll launch the game, but all I get is a black screen. Someone suggested it might be a router problem, which is possible. I have a Linksys wireless 802.11g router and connect to it wirelessly with my PC. As far as I know, the firewall is turned off on the router. I don't have a software firewall at all.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hello, that the firewall is turned off may not be enough.
i don´t know anything about the linksys router, but you should try out forward ports to your PC...like on following screen...
PC Name Irgendwas = my PC with IP 192.168.1.2
P.S.: Ankommende Dienste = Incoming Services ; Der Dienst wird umgeleitet an = the Service will be Routet at
if you can´t open ports 2300 to 2400 in one string (so u would have to open them single) you should look for DMZ, but that could be very dangerous! just as living with firewall turned off 
|
The port forwarding seems to have fixed the problem. I'm able to play on gamespy now. Thanks very much for your help! |

32 players in gamespy for a saturday nite,game is definitely not dying.

Is that the best time to get on and find opponents? I've gotten on gamespy a few times and only found a handful of players... Haven't even battled a real opponent yet. |

did you install the mod via the config manager?
unzip config files into C:/Config manager (create that folder).
unzip the stalingrad.zip into the C:/Config manager/Plugins folider
click the exe icon, and click on stalingrad, and install
voila!
should work
|
That's pretty much what I did. It still acts the same, however. |

| I've installed the mod manager and also the Stalingrad mod. When I start CC it still acts exactly the same as it used to. Is there another step to installing mods I should know about? |

Hello Comrades,
I would like to announce the arrival of a new CC5 clan dedicated to the Stalingrad mod. The clan will be specifically involved in GC's and Ops.
My name is Kapitan Vladimir Borisov. Commander of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. My orders from Stalin are to conscript a union of soldiers to take on the German warmachine (yes, that means you Wruff). 
Will you join me in the fight to defend the Motherland?

I'd like to join. That link doesn't seem to work, though. |

Hey all. I'm a brand new CC5 player, having found a very reasonably priced copy on Amazon. I've been really into Steel Panthers: World at War and Korsun Pocket lately and I've heard nothing but good things about CC, so I thought I'd give it a try.
What's the best way to find opponents? The AI doesn't seem very challenging but I can't seem to dig up a match on gamespy... |
