I see so it's just time zone. But now when I try to join game I can't connect to them.

So is there something I should know about New Steam version on mods or something else?

There have been changes to hte port forwarding and it now requires more ports to be open. Also turning off the windows firewalls increases the chance of connecting significantly. Also, steam doesn't support skinpacks/sound packs anymore. So if you have a sound pack installed you can only play with people who also have the same sound pack.

To be honest I used to just have the retail version, so I have been offline playing Biltzkreig mod for quite a while.

There might be guides on the net, I don't know. However, the best adress for technical problems is our technical support forum:
