Status: offline 		This weekend (until July 3), HarpGamer.com has set up a server for ANW players to try out MP. This has been generously offered by the HG owners so that your own computer does not need to be taxed with both playing and hosting the game.

Take a look at HarpGamer

You can also find opponents on the HarpGamer forum.

Hope to see you there.

EDIT: Okay, maybe some other time. It is completely unplayable...and NOW keeps disconnecting me.

He said that he was trying another method so that the Server would re-start by itself if it crashed.  I guess it doesn't work that well.  It doesn't appear to be a game problem.

I took out two of your patrol boats, got a victory message, then elected to keep playing...then the "hangs" started again.

By all means, please try again.  I think that Tony will leave it up for the weekend and you can try playing someone with a faster connection.

When I finally got the Task Manager to pop up, it wasn't sucking down massive amounts of memory insomuch as completely monopolizing the processor.

Status: offline 		I know that my system is ancient so it runs like a pig, but some of the other guys have found it okay to run.  I really don't know what to suggest.  I still think that it was the fact that you were playing me (with a Dial-up) connection being the reason why you experienced problems.

There are other newbies going to be playing this long weekend so I encourage you to come back and try with one of them.  They said to try in the afternoon [EST] as the best time to find them.

I have heard that mentioned by another player, too. Don't know if there is anything we can do as players, though.

Is there a way for me to adjust the Harpoon3Server so that it doesn't make these quite large .evt files in the MPLogs sub-dir?

Thanks!

I see the same thing, and I have a PIV 3,4GHz and 2GB memory. It seems that ANW will monopolize your processor no matter how powerful it is.

However I often acted as a server (and played as a client connecting to myself) and on my system we reached 1:30 compression without problems even in medium/large scenarios; we never at a problem at playing MP itself (except for the occasional crash, but I save often, and relaunching takes a minute). Easiness of setting up and playing is not an issue, at least here.

Status: offline 		Just played a nice game with Brad, sadly my Sea King had no surface search radar and Brad's Burke quickly sent it to the sea. Thankfully I was driving a Tico so I was able to use the brute force approach and activate my radars to protect myself. We ended in a near stalemate, Brad's missiles weren't getting thru and I had no idea where he was.

Lots of games yet to be played.  C'mon, over!

Thanks again to everyone who showed up and for HarpGamer for allowing the use of its server.
