Hi,

I have a problem with close combat. Every time I tried to start the multiplayer mode the game frezes.
I have this problem when I want to host a game and also when I try to search a game.
My operating System is Windows 7 64 bit. I've already tried the compatibility mode, but it didn't work.
Perhaps, someone in this forum can help me solving my problem.

I also run on Windows 7 and have not had this problem, so I think there is something else that is causing it.

Could you describe the steps you're taking to start the multi-player connection, and the point where the game freezes? What connection method are you choosing?

Is the game displaying a message when it appears to freeze (like "Searching for available games")? Some things can take a bit of time to complete, so you might want to wait for 60 seconds or so to see if that's what is happening.

Windows firewall could be blocking communication....

@ Steve McClaire: I take the usual steps to start a multiplayer game. First I start the game, then I click on multiplayer, then "Internet UDP" and search a game or host a game. It always freezes, when I click on search or host a game.

Try clicking on "Internet TCP" as the protocol and see if that works.

There can be a fairly long delay during the initialization, so be sure to give the game a minute or two to see if it continues.

I have been unable to even open the game in windows 7, just a blank screen and an error box saying cc 2 error. Any ideas how to run the program, I tried compatibility mode with every type and also lowered the screen resolution

biggunguy,

I don't think that error message is coming from Close Combat, or that may not be the exact error text. Can you verify the exact text of the error message for me?

Thanks,

Steve
