WWIIOL is finally worth the money
« Reply #30 on: November 09, 2003, 06:25:12 PM »
For those of you that can't play here is a look at the game from an infantry soldiers view. My squadmate made this little film. Not a lot is happening it is just a typical mission.

WW2OL Verision 1.10

When you see the view zoom in that is binoculars which are part of a standard infantryman's kit once he gets a bit of rank.

Oh and Windhund as an air wing too if any are interested. We are quite good.

Created an account, DL'd software, tried to launch and I get this:

"error 10057"


So I'm guessing you're on a trial account, and ya can't post on their bbs. And the Rats ain't making it easy for you to try and get help, or won't respond to your request for tech assistance. This is an assumption of course, but I feel it's a safe bet since you're here discussing your problems running ww2ol. Lol, excellent PR for the Cornered Rats!

Do let us know if you ever get to play the game online.

Idle curiosity makes me wonder how many customers the Rats have lost because they won't take the time to help potential subscribers. Added together, it probably totals a healthy chunk of change.

Yes the customer service leaves much to be desired. But I have a feeling they are really short staffed.

The game works on my system fine. Always has. Lots of others in there as well. But some seem to have no luck.

Check your graphics drivers first. Then make sure you have 512 meg of memory. Microsoft joysticks seem to work fine and I have a few squad mates with Hotas Cougars as well. I have DSL an AMD processor and an ATI graphics card.

I hadn't been to their boards for quite some time. This thread caused me to wander on over to see what's up. Look what I found! http://discussions.playnet.com/viewtopic.php?t=15820

Nice try Lexfire, but past experience tells me it will fall on deaf ears.

I've had the game running many times before during previous trial periods and "welcome back soldier" promotions.  Hasnt happened with previous versions.  But oh well, if it doesn't work, no big loss for me :)

I got stuck on the same Matrix Games window when I updated to version 1.10.1, too. Couldn't get by it, until I ctl-alt-deled my way into the task manager and discovered that zone alarm was up and waiting for me to answer the question of whether or not to allow the new executable for WWIIOL to connect. As soon as I answered yes, I was rockin' and rollin'.

But since you said you have Zone Alarm disabled.....:confused:

It sure sounds like ZA is still enabled, Oct. Especially since you can play offline just fine.

I had the same problem it just locked on the matrix screen what I did was to allow Zonealarm to give ww2ol and playnet.exe access to the internet and I could go online though in this version of 2ol I can't get any of my CH gear to work on inside the game :(

Only mentioned the problem I've been having in this thread alone and I get a WW2OL support guy to contact ME!  Said there was a new full version download that was posted this morning.  DL'd, reinstalled, and all is well.

Heh, spooky.  Perhaps someone here filled them in with my name/problem?  Perhaps the software alerted them that I was hanging on the "Matrix Games" splash screen?

Either way, I'm impressed.  I've heard funky stories about the customer service over there.  Score one for WW2OL in the support department.

There must be a fix for the X-45 (although I dont know what it is. There are a few in the 8Th AF that use them. They posted setups on our UBB a while back.I'll look for em and post.
