DoW stops responding online

[Kirjava]

Woe is me! I've been playing DoW for ages now, and finally got the chance tonight to play online having connected the computer to the net. Excited, I joined a game, clicked the green arrow and waited. The loading window for the map (Kasr Lutien) came up; the loading bar got to about halfway...

Then it stopped. Checking the Task Manager after a good few minutes of inactivity, I found DoW wasn't responding. So I ended it, restarted it, logged in again and tried joining another game. The exact same thing happened (Kasr Lutien again). Dammit.

I don't know if it was the map, I'm about to go and try again, but I was wondering if this sounds similar to anything anyone else has encountered, or if it's just my awful luck never being able to play anything apart from Halo online.

warnings.log and dxdiag please.

Also you might want to do future tests with someone who knows what to expect - having you drop at the beginning will ruin the game for everyone else.

Warnings.log? dxdiag? *looks worried* Warnings log I think I know, but I don't know what the other one is, let alone how to post either of them...

But thanks about the note re: future testing- not keen on pissing people off.

Cheers polecat.

Incidentally, I stopped the Ares programme my brother had installed running in the background and the game now works fine... so I guess that's what it was... I also seem to suck online... :P
