Hell Let Loose...Company Of Hero's, meets FPS

[Megahurtz400]

@Megahurtz400 didn't you have a server for HLL? How's that going?

Anyway @Littlenose @Ayahuasca (you up for it?) @Megahurtz400 , add me on Steam (profile) and we can get online.

Anyone else please just throw me an invite, the more people I speak to, the more I'll get used to it.

I did for a while, when Team17 took it over and their first few updates didn’t fix the issues the community were crying out for to be fixed I lost steam with it.

It was basically a part time job with trying to get new members, organising clan matches, and at one point was costing me £150 a month for the server, website and various other costs.

No one else really wanted to take on any on the responsibilities, so in the end I essentially closed it down as more and more people stopped playing the game.

Don’t think I’ll have the chance to be on till next week, but will get you added!

Perfect, you can tell us grunts what you want us to do

Agreed on the steam rollering aspect.
We could be a defensive oriented squad to reduce that effect a bit ?

@Spacedeck I'll add you next time I log in - I'm same name as here.
I'm quite often free for gaming on evenings 6pm-8pm ish, and can often get weekend time too.

It’s defensive squads that are always lacking, and unless they’ve changed how the game works, all it takes is one organised squad to flank a disorganised team and the game is effectively over.

Defending with a squad or two has been the most fun I’ve had in the game though!

I tried jumping in this evening as a refresher and set things up.
Howeverr, I wasn't able to star tthe game, and I was getting the error : "Another instance of the game is already running"

I've tried all the fixes I can find online, but no luck so far.

The whole thing seems strange. I don't even know if a reinstall would even fix the issue. It's definitely tied to something on your computer though. Maybe try loading Windows in safe mode with networking, and see if you can get on that way? Try disable any anti-virus program you have?

 

[Littlenose]

thanks @Spacedeck, I agree it is very odd.
It's so frustrating the amount of time I can lose trying to resolve the issue. I will keep trying things as and when I get chance.

It's pretty much a clean install of Win11 (just bought a 9800x3d), and no anti-virus etc yet.


edit: Solved
My Varjo VR software was starting with Windows - it defaults to that when you install it.
As per this Reddit post, Varjo software somehow interferes with it.

There's the Windows Defender built in, try disable that. I'll keep looking around for a solution too.

Thanks @Spacedeck see post above, I'm now sorted and just setting things up.
The new CPU has given a nice boost too

Played a couple of hours last night, and had a blast.
With the weather the way it is, I’m likely to be around today if anyone wants to squad up.

Started to play this again on and off. Joined a clan KSK, but can't seem to find the time for their games as I have kids and if the wife is at work (she works nights) I have to keep an eye/ear out for them as they sometimes keep coming downstairs when trying to settle for bed. That makes it hard to get a proper game in.

Popped into a few pubs and not many are chatting over comms to organise squads I keep joining. I dont know how to play SL as I have never done it, so I stick to Infantry, which I quite like.

Might have to get back on this during the winter. Although still haven't completed BG3!

God knows how many hours I've played but used to be in a clan and played pretty regularly along with professional games/leagues etc. OH doesn't work shifts anymore though!
