I played fm 2006 with a friend without having ANY problems…everything was perfect.

Now, I’m trying to play fm 2007 with the same friend (same PCs, same ISP / connection type, same windows XP sp 2). This is what happens: I host, he connects (via direct IP), we play for ~10 minutes and after that his game freezes… that little ball (instead of the arrow) appears and it stays like that forever…we once waited for 5 minutes and nothing happened icon_frown.gif .

the strange part is this: I tried playing fm 2007 with two other people and it worked perfectly !

Any idea?

if you don’t have any idea about this, please, at least, say “NO†so that I know you read my post. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

We are having the same problem, only we don't get as far as 10mins playing, ours freezes as soon as he joins the game.

i have been having the same problem as freeman21 here, i would like to make it clear that i'm not getting this "unable to connect" message that keeps being used as a reply by a certain person. basically what happens is i connect, it's fine for a minute or so and then freezes completely and i get kicked out, this keeps happening until eventually it lets me in and everything is fine. it is frustrating more than anything, especially when you're holding people up. It can take upto 2 hours before it is fine.

Tywyn is a genious and has just solved my problem with Hamachi, it turned out that Windows Firewall was blocking some features of Hamachi - and that was with Windows Firewall turned Off!!

Read the FAO stickied at the top of the forum and make sure you have followed it. If you have any routers or firewalls you'll have to configure them as well.

We have 2 PCs and a laptop on a LAN. The main PC and the laptop can connect fine, the other PC sees the game fine, but, when it tries to join in the game, it connects very slowly and a few seconds later a loading bar appears saying "loading game database", then screen goes back to the network screen. This PC can play other games fine on the LAN.

Completely stuck on how to solve this.

You can go to whatsmyip.com to find out your IP and I think thats the IP you would give out to those joining your game.

gaza123 - How can you not connect to your own game since your hosting it????If you have any routers/firewalls etc then you will have to configure them.

ok i'm very confused! we used to play network games loads on fm06! (i never used to be able to set them up though) and now we have bought 07 we cannot get it to work, my mate has gone to uni and now is using a network and now when he sets up a game the ip address does not work.

i am also using a wireless network and my ip address doesn't work for him, i have opened both 10093 and 10094 ports made them TCP? im not sure what that means but some people have mentioned UDP but i'm not sure which one to have??

i was wondering if there is a way either of us could setup a game without having someone who doesn't have a router?

Cheers please reply, Tom

Emersonlfc - No all you need is the same version of the game.

dexter2005 - Think your mate has to talk to the people who run the uni internet network and allow permission to allow FM through their firewalls etc. I think one has to be TDP and one has to be UDP but I am not sure which is which.

Urbanz83 - Please refer to the FAo stickied at the top of the main FM online forum to help you get started.

eh me and my mate have been trying for ages to get a network game going.

I read this thread and it said to download hamachi which i did but when my mate tried to download it a pop up came up saying that Windows didn't want him to download it.

Is Hamachi safe???

Do we both need it??

Would be grateful if someone wrote back!

Thanks Ben

I havnt used the program myself but have seen plenty of other people useit and also had success with it.

Its not a requirement to play FM via online but it does help some people play the game better.

So yes it is safe and its probably a security program that your friend has that warned him about downloading programs from the internet.

Hi, I met a really weird problem today. We got 3 users in Lan and we were trying to create a Lan game. One of my roomates' and main worked fine, but when another roomate was trying to join, his computer just crashed. (He turned off the firewall and abosutely used the correct IP and preferencem, and actually could see the server we created on his screen). And we couldn't join his server either. But we didn't met such problem when we were playing other games. So could anyone help me? Thanks

me and my friend had the same problem and no matter what we tried we couldn't get the game to work. But yesterday I got hold of a programme called Himachi, which creates a virtual network between your computer and your friends. As soon as we installed this programme it worked straight away. If your still having problems email me at Loyalspursfan10@aol.com and i'll send you the programme

I'm currently hosting a network game with 2 of my friends. We've just had our first direct encounter (between human managers) today. However we weren't able to complete it since for 2 consecutive times when one of us was fixing his tactics the game crashed giving me a serious error note (&creating a bmp file). Any suggestions?

This message was posted 4 days ago however no answer or at least signs of interest have been given. Any moderators or helpers in there??

Yes happens here as well, usually when two human managers are changing tactics at the same when playing each other. I hope they fix this in the patch, it caused arguements a few weeks ago with accusations of cheating etc, but it's a bug.

Just a quick question, if I'm the host for a game (for 5 people) and add manager pics to everyones profile will they show up on the other 4's screens?

Also, 1 of my friends managed to play a match without any of his players on the pitch (don't have a clue what happened) he was 12-0 down after 30 mins. The comp was still putting some efforts over the bar even though there was no keeper icon_confused.gif Don't know how they were kicking off after every goal though. Anyone else seen anything like this? we felt sorry for him and as it was the first match of the session we re-loaded it.

Well I've been through the advice in portforward and don't know if a network will work, got no one to try it on atm. But the Ip address in the game I tried to set up is only one bank of numbers such as xxxx.xxxx.x.xxx and no second bank - such as .xxx/xxxx.xxxx.x.xx

so is there something I have done wrong here, please?

I see Hamachi advertised, might wander over to that icon_smile.gif

(I'm behind a router rather than a firewall)

Thanks

me and my friend keep trying to play fm online against each other, ive forwarded all ports in both UDC and TCP, ive even tried hamachi, and we can make our own network but when we type in our hamachi i.ps into fm it cant find each other. We can join each others games but when i host his computer boots him from the game when he clicks join game, and when i join his game i can add a manager but the computer freezes with the loading ball cursor showing and then after a minute or two it boots me from his game. My friend can also play online with another one of my mates with no problems, so its clearly something wrong with my computer

Hi guys,

I and a friend of my started up a netwerk game yesterday. ( whit hamachi)

When we where finished my friend ( he is the server) saved the game and we shut down fm07.

now we want to play further but when he loads the game en I joined him whe have a huge problem.

after i joined him we see that FM dont reconized us as the managers we are and say that they are unconnected and that there is a "create new manager" is connected.

so whe try a hope things but we still dont know how we must go further with our game.

I'll hope someone do.

Greetz, Ivo

Yeah keep throwing the insults mate and you'll find yourself warned or carded.

Thought it was a perfectly valid point I made. If no one is replying to his post then why can't he just check the bugs list instead of posting the same thing over and over again and he'll find his issue is fixed in the patch? icon_smile.gif

Right click on the not connected option or on your team or your name and a pop up should appear asking if you want to resume control. icon14.gif
