How exactly do I play online?

[Velineon]

Sorry for the stupid question, I'm new...but how, exactly do you join a game? I see the list of all the games, but none of them, not ONE is joinable. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I can create a game, but no one joins. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

what version of men of war u r using? first you have to patch your game up!!

[Velineon]

Lmao. That could be a great possibility. :) Sorry for the stupid question.

I've updated to 1.16.4 and now, every game I attempt to join it says something about an "Out-of-Sync Error" I am not able to join any games, due to this being the problem on all of them. I tried some of the possible fixes, such as deleting any mods and that wasn't the case. The game is literally like new, nothing has been changed...I reinstalled it once and it didn't do anything.

[persoiranian]

are you sure that you've done all the things right? many people have experienced problems patching to 1.16.4 .have you read these threads?

I've read all the guides, and I've retried it many times and I am positive, I am doing it right. I launch from "Outfront_Mp" and it says I have v1.16.4. However, any game I attempt to join, it is still just giving me the "Out-of-sync" error.

try setting the video resolution all on low.

I tried that. I also put all my settings down to the lowest to see if that would work and still, I get the same error. I've reinstalled, 4 times, and made sure there was absolutely nothing modified in the Men of War Folder and still, I get this error.

possible that work:
rename folder ...my documents\my games... to ...my documents\my games_old...

restart game and create y gameprofile/settins/login new again.

[Velineon]

Still no luck. "Out-of-sync" error still comes up everytime I try to join a game. I recently uninstalled and reinstalled it, yet again. And as I said, still no luck. :P This is frustrating!

[persoiranian]

so the last thing you can do is to contact with 1c support.

If you have a out of sync error it basicly means there is a corrupted file, or something like a multiplayer map has been edited. I have the same problem, let me know when you find a fix.

@Velineon
what version d y have? steam, hardcopy, gamersgate...?
have y installed patch 1.16.4 in correct gamefolder? and are y running game with "outfront_mp.exe"?

after deinstalling game, have y deleted .../Men of War/... gamedirectory manualy with windows explorer? reinstalling game needs an empty .../Men of War/... folder.

It is the Steam version.
The correct game folder is "steamapps/common/men of war/" correct? I install the patch somewhere else and then copy the files into that. It overwrites some old ones, and adds other new ones. I use the "outfront_mp.exe" to launch it. However, I have not deleted hte Men of War game directory when I deinstalled it. I will try that this time and let you know how that goes.

i made following experience:
after testing mow-editor (eg. loading map & changing weatherfiles or other things) i have verry often "out of synch" errors because mow-editor save "new" files in ...men of war\resource\.... and game allways load this files.
make shure that all "new" mow-editor-files are deleted/moved from ...men of war\resource\....

deinstalling game normaly dont delete these mow-editor-files.

Okay, finally got it to work! The fix that worked for me was to uninstall it on Steam, and then go to the directory /program files/steam/steamapps/common/men of war/ and delete the "men of war" folder completely. Then install the game again ,and it worked!

[persoiranian]

congratulations!!

I'll be trying again to fix my out of sync error sometime today.

Update: I just reinstalled Men of War, deleting everything. I still get the same out of sync error when trying to play multiplayer. I could not find the folder to delete the maps I edited.
