I do think that would be fairly late for a game here, I'd only be able to play for an hour/hour and a half at that time, but I'd be willing to try for an hour or so. :)

StrongholdNation now has an official Google + Account. All updates will be posted by the site management team on this page: https://plus.google.com/+StrongholdnationCoUkSHN Staff Members who have Google + or Gmail accounts are welcome to PM with their email and I will set them up as an account administrator for it so they can add details. If the site ever goes down, this is where any updates on it will be posted. A good way to stay informed! ;)

Thanks for the kind offer :) Sometime today maybe? I did get the patch from GamersHell, but it was certainly official, therefore no reason why it should have failed unless the game is already corrupt (makes sense considering that I couldn't update it)

Sounds like you all had a hard time getting it to work then, but I'm glad you managed it in the end :) After all that, I finally got my video uploaded but it couldn't play it due to incompatibilities... I hate YouTube sometimes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZQs2Hc2kp4

When I reinstalled it I had to choose a different path instead of the default c:\program files(x86)\firefly studios\stronghold crusader as it was still crashing when I installed it to that directory, but hopefully it will still load. But it would be useful to walk me through it as well :) ** Edit ** I take it that the game went well without me?

It seems to be fine again now on the 1.2, but I have a nagging suspicion that something will go wrong after that, I don't know why... I have had a brief look in the SHC multiplayer lobby - how do we connect? I appear to need to know the host's IP.

I have patch 1.3.1 and I have SH2 Deluxe - what about you EaglePrince? I know you mentioned you had 1.4, but what about your game?

Hmm... They're doing it automatically on my game - press the attack button and see if that helps though.

If problems appear, then it's likely to be me - I'm not sure firstly how compatible SHC is with windows 8, but the 1.2 version seemed to be fine. This may require a deeper look into it, but to be honest, it's probably better just purchasing another one (if I can get one not on steam) as it really somehow seems like it's my game. All these complications... :)

No, you're in the right place. There definitely is a way to do it because I've done it in a custom mission before - try selecting a unit and a ballistae at the same time and then put them on aggressive.

I've just tried installing the 1.3 version and it's completely crashed my game. I'm going to reinstall the game, and unfortunately I'll probably end up playing just on the 1.2 version until I purchase another copy and see if it's what the issue was. If that's a problem then I won't join today and will see if I can on the 24th.

Fire Ballistae won't automatically attack unless you put them on aggressive behaviour. (left click then select the aggressive icon) You can make them attack individual targets, but unless you do that they won't automatically attack.

I'll have to check which version I have, I'll get back to you two on it.

Whoops, edited in main post. Typical - I try to make things easier, but there's always a catch... :) I'm glad to hear that - you'll have to try and beat me at some point :D

Yes, it's back after a while now! We're having more games of SH2 multiplayer. The games will take place @ 6PM GMT, which is also 1PM EST. The map is paths and passages by bradley0095. We will be starting from Freeman. Please post to reserve your places otherwise we can't guarantee that you will get a place. It would be much easier as then we will know how many lobbies to setup.

My GameRanger id is 5298554. You can add me as well. My username is [sHN]Lord_Chris. I believe Charles has changed his to [sHN]Charles of Tours as well.

** Voting has begun ** See the first post of this thread to vote.

Maybe I should try and incorporate that from HG, not a bad idea. I never really saw much point in it, but come to think of it, it's a quick way of finding files you like, and you know your work is appreciated without people having to leave comments, subscribe to you or review your file.

Thanks David, we'll get there eventually in the end :) @ Lord Vetka: Per your request, the 5 downloads with the highest rating are now displayed in the sidebar of every page in the members area.

Very nice, keep up the great work! :D

I'll be joining. I know you already know but I thought I'd let other people know as well. It's about time I got back into SHC . :D

How about we try GameSpy, if and when that crashes, we go to GameRanger - but you'll have to set that up and give me some guidance, I've never used that before ;)

What do you think then? Should we risk the crashing or try GameRanger? I personally think GameSpy's the easier option, especially since it's still up.

Looks like we have another mission then! :D I'll have to beat you this time - do you know whether GameSpy still works?

Well, thank you very much! I can't decide at the moment because there are so many possibilities, but I'll have a think and let you know shortly thanks :)
