« on: June 21, 2013, 09:40:26 PM »
There have been always few players already but after moving to steam I don't find anyone but couple locked games.

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.
They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!

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

click

There are topics about crashes, connection issues, freezes etc.
