Topic: EAW will not work online

[Kruge]

Hey Guys!
I thought Orion Pirates was the first game, and EAW the second... I had no idea it was newer than EAW. I had just started playing SFC II a few months ago after a friend was telling me about it. I bought it on Ebay of course. I love Star Trek, but had not played many computer games before. EAW was a lot of fun online until now.   Is Orion Pirates just like EAW online? Hex map with battles/missions, and gaining presige, etc?

Since people are saying that EAW is available: About my current problem... My Firewall is off and my Router's DMZ is enabled. I can play other games online with no problem. I changed my file to read the following below (and I have tried other things too). Can someone please verify if my file is now correct (and maybe it is the server and not me). Thanks for the responses. -Bisquik

Hello Bisquik. Under RTI, change the ip address to 63.101.60.125:2601 and see if it helps you get on. Its what I had to do as well.

I am using a router, but I have the DMZ setting enabled, which allowed me to play EAW in the past. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I couldn't play (Taldren situation I guess).

I just tried to logon this morning and I get the same message (firewall). Maybe I will try opening up the ports anyway...

I was able to buy a copy of SFC2-OP online last night. I should get it in a week.

When you get OP install only then go to www.nightsoftware.com/effhq/ then look for V2.0 of the Enhancement Pack.There is a direct way of downloading it in this from as well but download this before you start playing and say no no direct x and game spy.To make it easier on you you might want to get a dl manager called get right as you can dl this in small steps you get that at www.getright.com.I hope you will follow all directions when downloading the Pack.

   You are detecting a firewall like everyone else is there is a thread about this in this forum.

  Do not do this yet as I see the E Pack is not directly on his site and do not play the game yet I would Dl get right though.I will get Pestalence to but a stickey in this forum for you.Please wait while I get him.

My xp firewall is not enabled. I uninstalled the 3.3 mod. I have the latest IP change and I still get the firewall and can't find directory server messages. Help!

Way cool!

Welcome to your new addiction

I knew I should have posted on this thread sooner,

OK, just to let you all know, I DO NOT have SFC:OP (yet), I have straight SFC:EAW with the 2036 patch. With a little finessing of the WONServerSetup.gf file, I got ONLINE. I no longer have firewall messages of any type, and even have a new ship. Read my thread entitled: "Yo, yo, YO!!! I play EAW and it works." Once again, my copy of the file, for all to see and use:

Name="ServerSetup"

Let me know if it works or if it does not. Under the [WONDirectoryServer/Addresses] line, I put spaces between the numbers, the equal sign, and the line in quotes. Simple DOS trick which can be missed by ANYONE.

E-mail or reply if you get it to work, or if you have problems.

Peace out,

[Bisquik]

I just reinstalled the game (EAW) to clear out the email,name,password section (installed the latest patch as well - 2036 I think). No go... 

I put Taraq's post info into my file and still nothing... 

This firewall thing is really annoying... 

I guess playing EAW online is not going to happen. Oh well, SFC-OP is on the way though. I have a few questions about the add-ins for OP, but I'll leave that for another thread.

[Age]

  You can still play it on game spy.There are quite a few playing it on GSA.

[Bisquik]

I'll have to try GameSpy. Thanks.
