Hi guys,
If you encounter issues preventing you to host games over GameRanger or if your game is slow or/and freezes sometimes while online (because you had to disable windows compatibility mode), I found out a great and strong remedy.
You will need to create a specific compatibility mode.
That's possible with Microsoft Compatibility Administrator.
1/Download the tool & create a new data base.
2/Create a new compatibility mode & add the following fixes:
3/Add a new application to the database. Select close combat exe file. Then select the compatibility mode you've just created.
4/Save the database.
5/Right click on it then "install" it.
6/This personal compatibility mode will override the standard modes only for the exe file you've added to the database
-In the future, you'll be able to host or join without encountering any error with direct play.
What's more:
- it prevents the game from lagging when your computer is geared with a too fast processor.
- the screen won't freeze anymore during the game
- you'll be able to play with the highest resolution that you computer can provide.

In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
