I just got my pc rebuilt, and guess what? My lan connection (asdl is it's name in finland), went bust! I am having the 'pc curse' when things go wrong, they go wrong alot!
After battling with a bin that has gone to the 'doctor' for four times in this autumn, I got fedup, and basically rebuilt the whole thing.
And I come home, and the instant upgrade of windows xp says you can get some upgrades, I press download, and whopee! I am the somewhat suprised owner of service pack 2.
Now, somewhat mysterisously, my ASDL or LAN connection, is bust, I have phoned my operator for a week now, and today I visited their main shop in town.
Can anybody share warnings about service pack 2? Especially the firewall protection?
As I just got also the Battlefield 42 anthology (three games, the first and two follow ups) I am wondering if they can be played realtime on the net, and if so this is the wrong place, but I figured someone will know here.
So, my appologies to everyone I have wished to game with, I am experiencing pc hell, which hopefully will be history soon!
P.s. started an operation on combat mission 2, with the germans doing the bliz in russia in 41, and damn! I am getting my backside kikked! Its a good omen, like the old squad leader boardgame, one really haves to think one's moves, or your troops are mincemeat and scrap metal!
It's good to get a game where you need to learn and think, and with a live opponent (I'll get there someday, after this weekend hopefully!)...
So, just a thought, but the service pack 2 firewall might be a trouble for online gaming...
P.S. any thoughts on how to get your mission done within a timeframe, I know sneaking infantry before you charge in with your tanks is smart ect, but the damn turns run out if I do it by the book! My scout cars are especailly a delicasy for the Soviet anti tank guns and squads!
Also, anybody in the know of realtime playing of Sturmovik, please give any warnings or info about firewalls, or the service pack 2 question, I read in a Finn pc mag, that although a 95% good thing the service pack does have some glithches in it...
