Different Versions issue(Only with DC)

[oddteen17]

(sorry to re-post but this is a prevalent issue and i would really love to figure it out and get down to some great LAN games)

hello-
I seem to have encountered a hell of an issue and would like to know what is going on. My friend and i have tried playing a LAN of Dark Crusade yet it states we have different versions of the game. We have run the numbers and both have ((DOW Engine 1.2, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade 1.0, build 96815)) and both of us can log on to the Online Games so we know there are no further updates to get

To further compound the issue, we have both gone back and updated our older Versions of DOW and have once again come up the same version numbers((DOW Engine 1.51, Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 1.0, Build 92683)) and ((DOW Engine 1.51, Dawn of War:Winter Assault 1.0, Build 92683)). Oddly enough we both can play a LAN game of the OLD DOW as well as Winter Assult and both games run fine.

This has lead us to the conclusion that the only issue is with DC and not the other versions of the game.

Also one last thing, I was reading how DOW runs over the port 6112 and there for ran this http://66.134.89.225/~sic/nettest.html and it confirms i run 6112! here is what it says exactly, and it runs on my friends computer too.

Sending udp packet from 6112 to 6112
Received from /66.134.89.225:6112 to 6112 "udp pass"

Anyone have any sort of answer of why we are having this issue??

If you are playing over LAN then the net test results are irrelevant (they tell you what ports you have open to the wider internet).

You should be able to play, the only explanation is that one of you has a corrupt install, possibly caused by a mod. You say you can both login to gamespy - can you both play games against random people in the lobby?

Since DoW and WA work fine it seems like maby windows firewall is blocking the connection on DC. Check your firewall settings and make sure that DC is not bllocked. Windows firewall can block lan as well as online ports/applications.

Well my friend and I have both checked and none of us are running any sort of Mods and yes we both can login to gamespy and both of us can play games against random people in the lobby.

We have Also downed all of our firewalls yet still remain unable to play DOW DC. The only conclusion we can think of is that since I employ the the old DOW Gold Edition(Winter Assualt having a faulty key code) and never got it fixed that must be the reason we cant play. Yet even then that conclusion does not satisfy the issue since we both can still play the Winter Assault LAN together.

Is there anything else you guys could suggest of this issue?? thanx again for your time and help.
