Gamespy doesn't find DoW

[jonofwrath]

I scan, nothing. I scan the DoW directory, nothing. I give up and play skirmish. Anyone else have this trouble?

I don't have the paid for version of gamespy, so sorry if I'm being dumb and you need to properly subscribe (ie pay (f*uck that))

So anyone with any bright ideas, send them this way.

Oh and how do you 'sell' space marine buildings?

Err?You are supposed to use the multiplayer button in the menue.

And you "sell" buildings by using the......delete buttoin.

You don't need to install anything other than the game to connect up to online play (which will then auto-download the latest patches, which are a pre-requisite of online play). To do so, within the game just hit multiplayer and then online (i think - don't have the game in front of me at the moment, either way, should be fairly obvious what the option is once you've hit the multiplayer button.) It will then prompt you to create a username and password, fill that bit in and you're away.

Selling buildings, you delete them. If it's the only structure you have left (i.e. if you deleted your HQ before you build your barracks) then obviously you lose though. Generally it's only a tactic that is used for preventing capturing of SP's by placing a listening post on it then deleting it before building commences, or as a tactic to rush the enemy early game by say building your barracks then deleting your HQ for the extra req.

EDIT: Question beat me to the punch.

moving to tech assistance.

as others have said, DoW doesnt use gamespy arcade (the Relic guys explicitly asked gamespy to make sure that it doesnt show up in arcade) - to play multiplayer games you use the "multiplayer" button on the main menu...cunningly hidden where noone would think to look, I know.

Selling buildings is done with the delete key - the resources you receive are proportional to the health of the building: a building thats about to die will give you effectively no req, a healthy building will give you 50% (IIRC).
