What would happen to men of war multiplayer without gamespy?

[SpeedWolf]

I have find the information in regards to my question about the men of war multiplayers.

From Steam community Posted by Instinct.

Instinct [developer] 4 Apr @ 7:17pm
GameSpy is shutting down
GameSpy multiplayer service is shutting down at the 31st of May. After that you will not be able to play internet games through the inbuild multiplayer support. This affects all games from various developers that are based on GameSpy.

For Men of War and Men of War: Assault Squad we offer several solutions:
You can continue to play through LAN and DirectIP. (Set the IP in your multiplayer options and run LAN mode)

Alternatively, you can use GameRanger which is a 3rd party multiplayer games service that supports both games:
http://www.gameranger.com/games/


Due to technical reasons we are not able to provide Steamworks support to either game. We therefore recommend Men of War: Assault Squad 2, which also includes content of the first part.

The Steam store page will be updated accordingly soon.

Instinct alternative is GameRanger. he are my alternative tunngle or Hamachi.

I would see if i can find a workaround to make men of war work the same way as before but for the meantime this are the option we have.

Gamespy alternatives that dont require integration are no better than GameRanger. And since 1C wont lift a finger to patch out Gamespy and replace it with a better alternative.. Not like they ever cared. They stopped support for Vietnam three months after release, and Condemned Heroes didnt get even that much time. They just dont care anymore.

This is not about lifting a finger, this is about months and months of re-programming the game. As in case with Men of War Assault Squad 2 - the developers decided to transfer the game from Gamespy to Steamworks and it took them several months to achieve it. Men of War engine was always using Gamespy and changing the multiplayer components is no easy task, please bear that in mind.

1C Company will release a statement about future support of multiplayer matches in the upcoming days.

I have been a very long and loyal fan of the men of war series from the time of soldier heroes of world war 2 but after so many set back of many expansion pack and my dislike of DMS management and poor conduct to long time fan of the series.

i am deeply saddened to see the end of multiplayer and because of that i would have no reason to continue making videos or mods for my beloved series.

it also very unlikely that i would move on to assault squad 2 as is just like with it predecessor the original assault squad have very bad performance online and just like it predecessor it have a copy and paste single player that cannot be call a real campaign from past installment of the series.

so to conclude.

after the gamespy shutdown and the multiplayer feature is no longer available i would be forced to retire from the series all together as i have no longer a reason to come back for it.

as it was the multiplayer feature that push me to make my men of war movie short and mods.

R.I.P.

Thanks SpeedWolf for the statement.

Totally agree.

Perhaps you're right, but I have asked a question and nobody has replied. How do you make a light flash and other entities such as boom gates lower slowly? The boom gates can be made to raise slowly but when lowered they drop down like axes. And there is also a large German gate that shuts and opens so fast it's absolutely unrealistic. Also, the nice steam train clank-clank sound it makes is not realistic at all, and the right front wheel has been added the other way around, the wheel flange was supposed to be inside the rail tracks, not outside. There are lots of mistakes.
