Lobby Issues

[Lacunae]

Following an automatch game, when I return to the lobby, it is entirely blank, with nobody being seen in the lobby (or even myself.) When I attempt to start a new automatch game, it just sits at "Automatching...." forever and it is as though I am not in the lobby at all.

However, when I return after about an hour or two, all is well until I play another automatch game (or any game for that matter) and I return to a blank lobby. Help! This is very annoying and I cant figure out what to do! I have tried reloading DOW, rebooting my computer, resetting my router/internet.

All of my ports are properly forwarded and all is well, except when I am finished an automatch game!

Thank you in advance.

Let's have a look at your warnings.log file. Also, please run the network tester (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=63593) and post the results here.

there may also be a problem with putting -dev in the shortcut, i did and i had to remove it to see games.

Here is my warnings log from just trying to log in this afternoon (I ran into the problem where I cant see anybody or do anything in the lobby:)

Also, my network test results:

I dont know how to read that warnings log but apparently it seems like there are a few failures in there. Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like a possible error loading Dark Crusade?

[Lacunae]

There is nothing different when I boot up Dark Crusade on a good (functioning) day, than when I boot up on a bad (non-functioning) day. I have no idea what to look for!

[Lacunae]

Does anybody have the same issue or know of what I can do?

Have you tried reinstalling?
