From a fresh install:
1. Ensure that the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine is installed (looks like you have).
2. Update the MMCCIII Multiplayer Client (you say you have)
3. Install the MMCCIII Multiplayer Client using ModSwap
- Launch ModSwap from the Command Centre
- File Menu...Install...MMCCIIIMultiplayer.cc3, and then Exit ModSwap
4. Launch MMCCIII Client from the Command Centre
- Make sure that CoI is *not* running!
5. Read the Welcome Message; it will give you the IP#'s and Ports of the Online Campaigns if you are connected to the Internet.
6. On first launch, MMCCIII will ask you to set up a 'Player and choose a side.
7. If you have the correct Version (online multiplayer), then you will see an entry for the TCP Address as well as the Port. You can also check the Version to check that the update has installed ok.
Take it from there. Follow the prompts and you should not go wrong.
If you get a Java error dialog including "...probably server no longer exist..." then the online Campaign Server is not up and running. For some reason the Matrix Server is unstable and Andrew is trying to get it resolved, but it's a techie issue.
p.s. When you have finished fighting a battle in CoI, do not hit 'Next'. Immediately Exit from CoI, otherwise the result of your battle will not be transferred to the Campaign Server. It's an easy mistake to make absent mindedly...
p.p.s. You can practice a bit using the Local MMCCIII setup (the default shipped with CoI). You launch the Server first (You can find that in the Start Menu), and then launch the Client (which can be done from the Command Centre). No TCPIP number is required. Use ModSwap to change from the Single Player (default) Client to the Multiplayer Client and vice versa.
