Hey guys! I know this isn't a travel forum but considering the shared interest of history I figured some of you could help.
Long time CC player and I am now going to Normandy with my dad in the beginning of june for about a week. Since my idea of taking a boat from the English side and jump ashore screaming wasn't appreciated I now need some new input! We were thinking of renting a car to see all the beaches, St. Lo, Caen etc. I'm wondering if any of you have been to the area and have any advice on what to see, what places are interesting/boring and where we find the best french wine ;)
Also, any advice on nice places to stay, eat and so forth would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Might try it tonight or tomorrow! |

Sorry for the internal lingo With LAN i mean a 100mbit fiber connection.
We managed to play a few battles today with me hosting. No crashes. Got me thinking it could be an issue with Vista 64bit. Everything works fine now though.
Thanks a LOT for the help schrecken! |

Yes, that is what I assume as the time varies but it usually crashes in the thick of the fighting when someone is expected to break. I'm not too sure though, could just be random crashes 10-20 min into the game.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean with waiting for the dat transfers. Are you referring to timing your clicks when you're on the strat map? We never get to actually finish a battle. Actually we did once when we played a single battle but not since we started the GC. |

Tippo, I understand it's a very typical thing to say but why do you find it flattering? |

Thanks for the speedy reply schrecken!
We both work in tech support so it's a blow to the ego asking for help here, but you are after all more experienced when it comes to CC ;)
We both run Vista, my friend is the one hosting and he runs Vista 64bit. We're both on 100mbit LAN connections connection without routers or firewalls.
We connect through the game interface (the multiplayer button in the menu, UDP) and we get to the battle fine, the crash seems to occur immediatly when the battle ends, when morale breaks och time runs out. I'm not too sure about this but we usually get to the thick of the fighting before the problem occurs and i'm sure i can see one of those long, grey bars in the middle of the screen usually indicating that the battle has ended.
Feel free to move this to tech support if this thread is better suited for that forum.
Again, thanks for the help! |

I finally got around to buying the game and started a H2H grand campaign with a friend. Unfortunately we can't get past the first map because the game keeps crashing on us all the time. I get the windows error message and the program closes. We both have the latest patch and LAN connections, no routers or anything like that. We're using the games own multiplayer tool.
Advice would be greatly appreciated since this game is currently unplayable H2H. |

Amazing! I finally decided to buy the game (after payday and some financial agony) and am now doing the digital download. I'm on a 100mbit connection and i work with tech support so I know how to handle this kind of stuff. Seriously matrixgames, 50kb/sec... seriously.... I'm thinking of waiting for the disc to arrive in the mail instead |

Hey guys!
Been playing CC for ages, mostly singleplayer due to the fact that i suck at this game I'm curious about this new version and the differences, from what i understand there is a brand new GC but apart from that and some cosmetic effects that game is pretty much the same.
Big question is though, have they fixed multiplayer? Do you still have to go to command and reload all the time or has that actually been fixed?
Regards,
Petter |
