Why doesn't everyone move to GOG?
« on: February 12, 2022, 10:10:40 AM »
We would not need Admin then, can use the inbuilt ladder there, since we no longer have one anyway, it costs $10 to buy. Tora you could shout 100 people GOG war2 for $1k.

I don't think it lags and the rest of that list doesn't really matter

In addition:
1. - strange connection issues with no REAL issues at all
2. - more susceptible to hacking
3. - starting with random empty channel, so no normal chat possible until you find where all others is ... this is a problem, because of:
4. - no comfy chat commands like /con, /games, etc...
5. ...

Sure "doesn't matter", LOL.
GL then, try gog, then return.

1. There is no connection issues

3. Yes I understand it's very hard to type /join X
4. Oh no!

Idk why we don’t move to gog in all honesty. I guess the one time I logged there I wasn’t able to play due to latency issues there…I wonder if that’s still the case.

Let me check.

The dev team have done a lot here and the community is grateful but it seems like every few months we get attacked...There is no way to prevent it?

I dont have a lot of time to play war2, but when I do its mainly on GoG with Cel.  He streams on the weekends.   https://www.twitch.tv/trogallart   -- click on schedule for times.  We meet in Op Trogallart channel.

RU vs GoG -- RU is a 1000% better.   

Its almost impossible to grab peons / the game isnt stop and go meaning it feels smooth until you try and pull peons / micro etc.

GoG for whatever reason puts each player in a random channel

No Support from GoG / Blizzard

I enjoy the games on there when I do have a chance to play.  Cel is working hard, trying to build a community for the game; his mindset is that if enough people are playing war2 "Legitimately" perhaps Blizzard / GoG etc might put some effort into this game.  Kudos to him he actually has recruited 6-7 new players. 

Me personally I think its a lost cause and would prefer he played on RU since it runs better =P

Tora if you are trying to use war2combat to login to GoG it doesnt work unless you do alot of nerd stuff I dont understand.   I just bought the game for $10.00 and played it =P

Every time I try to connect to GOG it say's "need to download to the latest software"
It needs version 2.0.2.1 that incompatible with most new features.

Also most of old players don't need to buy gog version:
If you have old BNE CD you can log in using it.

Step by step:
1. Install original BNE CD
...
No cd/dvd drive?
Solution:
rent external drive for a day - make image of needed CDs,
then use some virtual drive program for install.

2. patch to 2.0.2.1 using last official patch
ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/Fixes%20&%20Patches/Original%202.0.2.1%20patch%20(unsafe,%20but%20GoG%20compatible)/War2Patch202.rar

3. use reg patch for servers
https://forum.war2.ru/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5700.0;attach=3697
or https://en.war2.ru/dl/war2ru.reg

4. get some ddraw:
https://forum.war2.ru/index.php?topic=5015.0 (normal)
https://forum.war2.ru/index.php?topic=6461.0 (wide)


mostly same steps for GoG users to play on Ru

Im sorry but cel didnt make his own community, he got most players from ru, how many players name are new and they are not from ru before?

Blizzard dont care about SC/w3, why they would do anything with w2?

about 6 or 7 new players off his stream not from RU.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone.

Just saying what he is trying to do.

Is @iL aware of the condition of the server again?
