The game itself is still as good as it was 8 years ago, just the delivery is lacking badly. | ||

Actually a neat way to get around the game hosting issue is to have a few 24/7 hosting BOTS in the iCCup server that you could whisper a certain command and they would host the games for you, this was used to get around the hosting issues before a long time ago, and i'm sure it could be done again today. I actually think it is a really smart idea to get BOTS that can host games for people with port forwarding issues, there are already game hosting bots so how hard could it be? EDIT : I mean , it wouldn't be hard for iCCup to get up a few game hosting bots, to make peoples lives easier, untill there is some amazing portforwarding fix. | ||

Just so you get the idea, i open the ports, and it works np. I host a game 25 minutes later, with no restarts, no nothin, and i cant host. The main problem for me, is that when i CAN host, there is never lag on my end (i mean, unless there is an IP conflict, or someones network really sucks, the game goes smooth on low lat (LAN lat ofc). I love to be able to host since i know that its a much faster way to get going and play fast. Solving this problem would be amazing, but who could do it? Its not like blizzard is going to, are they? | ||

You cursed Blizzard for not committing a LOT of man-hours to a nearly 15 year old game? Either you have no comprehension of exactly what it would take for them to release a patch for the "BW terrible netcode" or you expect incredibly unrealistic things. | ||

Have been down hamachi route and all that before as well. bnet2.0 failed on so many levels, but laddering was a breeze. Tempted to go try iccup now with my new router. | ||

I had my ports fowarded for about 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks i was quite happy as i could host as many Jade ladder games as i wanted and could decide against whom to play. This really makes a big difference. Then another computer joined my router and messed things up somehow. I have to admit i have no idea (after spending literally 20 hours on various days trying to understand the issue). i even made a thread on tl support. I want to understand exactly the issue so that if ever i have a problem i can solve it, not just randomly resolve it once. So i have been told that port fowarding is different than opening simply the port 6112. Port fowarding implies having the traffic go through one specific port, opening a port allows any kind of traffic to go through it. At least thats what i ve understood. And its better to have a static internal IP adress for your comp than a flexible one that changes every time your router goes off. Another way to navigate around this is playing on fish, but still on Fish you are allowed to play only one map. And that does not fullfill a players needs. The thing is i have access to my router, i know my internal I.P. adress. Portfoward.com has not helped me because i have followed their guide for my router correctly and my ports do not open. This is indeed the elefant in the room. Damn you elefant. | ||

Still, I have major issues with releasing connections. I need to constantly reset my internet connection to be able to host, so if I play a game, or stay in the lobby for a long time I usually have to reset, but it doesn't always happen. It might have something to do with the time. | ||

I don't know the details of this problem - why 6112 has to be open to begin with, but I wish it get fixed some how! Currently, I'm hooked up to a common server/router in my building - so I can't forward it. This is pretty much stopping me from playing right now. | ||

It sucks to spend 1 hour with every guy trying iccup for the first time trying to explain him what to do, and that's the case where it works in the end. Not sure how many player we've lost to that, alas... | ||
