Stronghold legends multiplayer crashing

[kian 0]

?So about a month ago I posted a topic about stronghold 2 crashing in the middle of multiplayer game and so, me and my friends suddenly got interested in stronghold legends. Even though we played it multiple times, we never got to finish it. It either crashes to the main menu or it crashes to the desktop displaying a message that the game has stopped working. As steam doesn?t function as it should in Iran, we were left with no choice but to keep playing the game via Gameranger. If there?s anything about port forwarding for gameranger or firewall issue?s with it please let me know.

Thanks.

Is it possible to manually set the game in Stronghold Legends? By one of you hosting the game, and the other one typing the IP address? That's how I avoid problems with GameRanger on some other games.

I simply don?t understand what you are talking about.

Something like this.

But I'm not sure if it is possible in Stronghold Legends. I fear not.

[Lord_Chris 284]

That isn't possible in Stronghold Legends, as it's all automatic connection. Are you all on the latest disk version of the patch (1.2)? I've noticed that GameRanger doesn't really care what version of the game you use at all, so this could well be the cause of your problems. Assuming all copies of the game are genuine, that it the most likely reason.

 

See this article for more information on the Stronghold Legends patches.

What about firewall settings or routings in the router? Is there nothing that could possibly be blocking the connection?

[Lord_Chris 284]

No, if it was Firewall or Router related issues, they wouldn't start halfway through the game. Those kind of issues would be there right from the start, maybe not even letting you connect with each other at all.
