Probably a noob question

[FM_Von_Manstein]

This is probably a noob question but hey, I'm a noob.

I just bought Men of War and I made a Multiplayer Account, but I'm having some trouble with joining games. There are 20-30 games in the lobby right now, and I can join 1, sometimes 0. Why is this? Do I need to download a patch so that I can join games?

I installed both and now the game wont open, i keep getting this error message.

What kind of error message are you getting?

Do you start the game with the new icon named "outfront_mp.exe" (if you have patched it to 1.16.4)? If not, then the game will crash...

Ight I just installed 1.16.4, but it says I'm still on 1.11.4

Ight I just installed 1.16.4, but it says I'm still on 1.11.4

y must start outfront_mp.exe (only for multiplayer) to get 1.16.4.
y'll find outfront_mp.exe in maindirectory from installed game.

when y start outfront_mp.exe 1st time, y must create/write gameprofile/settings/cd-key new again.

other way:
- start outfront_mp.exe
- exit game
- copy all files from
.../my documents/my games/men of war/... to
.../my documents/my games/outfront2 a2/...
- start outfront_mp.exe
- connect to multiplayer
- enter cd-key (possible needed)
- play game
