When setting up a multiplayer game in Battle of the Scheldt.
The host makes it trough the multiplayer screen, however the joiner only gets a black screen with CC cursor...
any solutions for this problem?
It seems to happen both trough gameranger and hamachi.

I get this problem with Gameranger and all cc5 mods when either I or my opponent forgets to completely disable the Hamachi network. You will see your opponent's name in the gameroom written in italic letters when something is wrong for either of you.
Also, I always get this problem with gamespy, haven't found a solution that makes it work at all for me...
It's weird if this happens in Hamachi, since then you should both start the game manually and then host/join from ingame

Have you tried a direct connection using TCP? I found disabling hamachi was necessary for a direct connection. Then there's being sure that all the correct router ports are open and firewalls set up for both players. I very much doubt that its anything to do with the mod. The black screen usually means that something is preventing the connection.

That's right, you have to open/add ports in order to play Close Combat online these days. The ports that I have opened are 2300 - 2400 but you may have to open more. It works for me though when playing against Buck Compton. I am using the "Simple Port Forwarding" tool.
