Dawn of War: Gold Edition sockscap issues

[chrisbak]

I ran Dawn of War online with Tunnel and sockscap, and it worked fine. However, I recently bough the Gold Edition version, which includes both Dawn of War and Winter Assault, and it does not work with this configuration. I was not able to play either game through the online option. If anyone has any ideas about how to make them work I would be very grateful.

hi, try Hummingbird's freeware program, its function is similar to NEC's sockscap.

OR..


This method needs some modifications to work for Winter Assault - knghtxeno1 posted this solution:

According to Tiresias there is an easier method that will allow you to play WA through Sockscap: simply run WA in windows 98 compatibility mode and it should work fine.

Are you on a network that prevents you from connecting directly to Gamespy or something?
