Company of Heroes Multiplayer:

[n30_mkii]

Just bought this game the other day for its multiplayer over the net....

However it seems there are BIG problems with it!

Pings are stupidly high, and Im unable to connect to many of the servers...'Unbale to connect to all pleyers' message! I have opened the ports needed (which is just for hosting)

But the online side of things is dire.....Seems other people in chat have the same issue...

Any workarounds? Or something im missing

ping to www.bbc.co.uk <30 ms

in game around 600>

Have you got the latest patches (1.4)?

if you can connect, all is not lost.. pings could be your AV, set an exclusion rule for coh.exe and all files in the coh folder. if you search my user name and look for coh threads, there's a few where i state my problem and people suggest fixes.

while they did not work for me, our issues are not the same.. i would dig them out but i have to go and help the old dear.

Seems fine for me. I've played games over the net on a m8s PC who was hosting it and I played with 2 others. It does sometime lag but its nothing unplayable it sometimes comes up that they are 12 s behind w8ing for catch up but I don't get any sort of lag stutters or freezing.

i have played a few hundred games online with no real issues... for the most part the problem is n00bs that dont know how to configure their routers firewalls
