Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts Lan error

[onkeltoctoc]

Hi....i am german
i will play Opposing fronts v2300 on lan but my friend can not connect
error message is :Zeitueberschreitung
he find me in the list but cannot connect to me!!
can someone help me????

is vielleicht der crack die ursache?

[Joe Forster/STA]

That's a plain "timeout". I guess, your friend has been locked out from your PC or the server by your firewall. If you think it may be because of the crack, well, try it without a crack.

(Also, don't double post and use English only!)

I have exactly the same problem as onkeltoctoc. I think it's something in the 2.300 crack.
I can see my buddy on lan, but can't connect

You can't play on LAN with any of the cracks. Sadly, FLT did a work unworthy of its name with the release, and nobody has bothered to correct it since then.

If you want to play on LAN (assuming, of course, you are not connected to the net, since you wouldn't need the crack), you'll have to use either the original DVD or the mini-image with DT and YASU.

If you use DTLite 4.12 (with SecuROM profile active) you don't need YASU - works with me.
To play in LAN people on relic forums use Hamachi (not the lastest version - this allow them to play custom maps when being developed for some competition).

Ok i thought i would reply in here as i have found a fix so far that is allowing at least 4 people to play a lan game of Company Of Heroes Opposing Fronts.

First DL the mini image from game copy world. do not worry about any cracks they are not needed.

Download and install Daemon Tools latest version. don't change any of the emulation settings they r fine. don't forget to mount the image

Next you will have to edit the hosts file on your computer. This is usually stored in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. just edit it with notepad and after you save it make sure it its name is ONLY hosts not hosts.doc or hosts.txt.

Here is something you can cut and paste into a batch file. it will set your hosts file properly.

attrib c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts -r
echo 127.0.0.1 cohlive-1.quazal.net >>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 cohlive.quazal.net >>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
attrib c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts +r


Once you have done that make sure you do not have any folders in your My Documents\My Games\Company Of Heroes folders.

Hope this helps. I don't play the game myself but the wife does so i had to spend 12hrs trying to work it out lol.

Best of luck

P.S. this only works for cohof unpatched.

If you bought the gane legally you don't even need a crack, since the serial gets attached to your Relic profile and you don't need the CD anymore.

you will need: A: the latest version "DAEMON Tools Lite" (after instalation go to Preferences -> advance and enable secuROM
B: the game
C: the updates " http://cohpatch.relic.com/ " the last update you will need is 2.300
D: the crack for 2.300 " http://adf.ly/649267/dl.gamecopyworl...&f=b-co2300!7z "
E: "hosts.bat" file from " http://www.2shared.com/file/ut5W_LMF/hosts.html "
(this will restrict the game to acces relic online , and will enable you to validate the game with demon tools using the mini images)
F: the Mini images from " http://www.2shared.com/file/JxQLqYZJ...COH-OF_DC.html "
G: You'll need gameranger " http://www.gameranger.com/ " or hamachi but, gameranger has an 100% warranty of working

Step 1 : After having all these be sure you have standard IQ, install the game WITHOUT copying the crack from the iso image
2 : Apply the .bat file, followed by mounting one the SCSI virtual drive the "NS-COHOF_SR-poseden.mds" image, in order to "Validate Succesfully Media".
3 : Update the game till version 2.300 in order to unlock "Invasion normandy" and the other factions (Wehrmacht and americans)
4 : Copy the 2.300 crack from the site specified above, make a copy of rs.dll and rename rspa.dll and add it into the rspa Folder located in the game, and mount the other SCSI drive with " NS-Coh_DC-poseden "
5 : Enter the game, when in menu click "Invasion of Normandy" enter this cd key 75d9-0234-0732-9ba1-2f70 OR 672b-0d17-5917-4556-4ef7 or any COH cd key will do, when asked where you bought the game chosse "Retail Store", if you succesfully mounted the SCSI file with "NS-Coh_DC-poseden" the procces would be complete.
6 : Make a back up from the cache located in User Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\Cache (The cache contains the unlocked factions and the campaign)
7 : After the back up has been made unistall the game
8 : Install the game without adding any cracks or patches.
9 : In order to play the game a SCSI drive must always mount "NS-COHOF_SR-poseden" in order to validate media.
10 : Play on game ranger with friends or other players
11 : Enjoy
