Hi all!
Ive been playing HOI 1.06c on valkyrienet and its been working fine. But in my most recent game with a friend we have run in to a problem:
We start the game and everything works just fine as usual. Then, after about 3 moths "game time" on normal speed the clients game freezes. The host does not get any message and can just keep on playing. After the game has been frozen on the clients side for a few minutes he gets a "Host has left the game..." message and is dropped. The host still gets no messages about any of this.
When this has occured once, there seems to be impossible to restard the game. The client telephones the host an we meet back at Valkyrienet and one of us can set up a new game as a host, but when the other try to join he gets a "no host found at IP; xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx..." message. We have tried to restart both computers, restarting our connections, getting new IPs, everything... Nothing works. It does not mather who is the host and who is the client. Still same procedure.
A really strange thin is that if we just disconnect and go on with our pointless lifes for a day or two, then we can meet at valkyrie again and get the game to work. But oonly for about 3 months of game-time, then the same thing happens again and we can not set up a new working game for another 24 hours or so.
We are running win xp and win 2000. Anyone got a clue?
Thanks!
