Jmaster3265 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Hello there, It has been a while since i have visited these forums and played EaW. Anyway to the point, i am having trouble playing multiplayer/internet on EaW. When i click connect it either says "failed to connect, or invailed name" -Jmaster3265
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Make sure that your Firewall is set up correctly and allows Empire at War 'access' to the internet to play DMUK
Jmaster3265 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah i checked that, i haven't played EaW in a while-But i remember it did not do this before. -Jmaster3265
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Try a re-install but select repair. Make sure that you have the latest patches as well DMUK
Jmaster3265 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 Try a re-install but select repair. Make sure that you have the latest patches as well DMUK I will try that, how do i know if i have the latest patches though? I don't remember what patches i have since i haven't played since until today last year. Also when i ran EaW a message poped up saying an update was needed for online. Could that be a reason why its doing this? It was a update though?
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Yep, if the auto-updater pops up, it means you need the latest patch. Come back to us with news after you've installed that
Jmaster3265 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 Sorry for being late, i completed the auto-updater actually before i made this thread. I'm still confused on why it is doing this... =/
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 What Firewall are you using? You can always try turning it off for testing purposes.
Jmaster3265 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 Hmm, i'm not sure what firewall I have or how to check. I think it is Windows Firewall, if i remember correctly. I never have had to turn it off before though.
Jmaster3265 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Posted March 9, 2007 Anyone, can anyone help? or an update please?
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Visit the security centre on control panel and disable the firewall. You might have blocked the game by accident. DMUK
