Firewall issues with 1.087

Post by Joel Billings »

A recent Microsoft Windows update appears to be causing connection issues with WaW TCP/IP play. This has to do with firewalls. If you are having issues locating a game on the internet that has been set up, the host player will need to put themselves in front of all of their firewalls. In the past depending on the host player's set up they might not have needed to be in front of their firewalls (with 1.071 I did when I tried to host, but Keith didn't when he hosted). It now appears more likely you'll have to be in front of your firewall if you are the host (with 1.087 Keith and I both have to be in front when we host). We're looking into what we can do to alleviate this problem.
All understanding comes after the fact.
