I know the title says Multiplayer, but hear me out.
Last night, my friend and I decided to install HOI2 and start a game online. We installed, starting with:
-Vanilla Doomsday
-GIP 0.6
-Armageddon 1.2
-DAIM (DD/ARMA)
-CCIP
We installed in that order, at the same time (over teamspeak). When I joined VNet to host a game, I was asked the usual "do you want to use a password?" question, and I clicked enter to ignore it. My game froze. Total lockup. I had to do a hard reboot with my power button to get out of it. So when I was finished rebooting and got back into the game, we decided to try the "Internet" option, so i tried to click "host" and once again, I locked up. Same deal as last time. The last thing I tried was LAN, via Hamachi, and the same thing happened. So my game is going into lock down mode as soon as I try to set up a server.
I tried reinstalling the game, to no effect.
I don't understand what is happening, but I have a though that I'd like to put out there before I just ask for any and all help. I reformatted my computer probably around a week and a half ago. Before then, I had been surviving without a reformat since March 2007 (which apparently is a long time to not reformat.) During that period, I could play the game just fine, both online and offline. I have played with this same friend on multiple occasions, and many times with others. So I'm convinced that I have a different system configuration than before, that would for some reason not allow me to access the game's multiplayer resources. I should also mention that my friend tried to host a game himself, thinking that it might have just been me, and he can. He is doing just fine, but I still can't join his game because mine freezes whenever I try to use any Multiplayer functionality.
I have no idea what could be causing this, and I really want to play the game online, so I'm in something of a rut. I'll ask for any and all help that the community can offer me, and I thank you for your time and effort!
