TO ALL TEH PPL THAT DONT SEE ANY GAMES!
Posted: Tue 23 Jun, 2015 9:54 pm
I've just found out that all the guys that use launch options in steam are unable to see other ppl's games but can create and join each other's games.
The problem is that on pre-2.4 version launch options were "-applaunch 56400 -nomovies -modname Elite -dev", after 2.4 they are now "-applaunch 56400 -nomovies -modname Elite" there is no "-dev" launch option. Even the created shortcut will not work since it directs to .exe that is modified by steam launch options.
Looks like DoW counts that extra "-dev" string as a different version of the game so u can join games of other ppl that have it too but u cant join or see games that are created by ppl that were not using old launch optinos. Took me some time to figure it out. Thought u could use some tips. Cuz i know at least flaming and ГОРЖУСЬ РОССИЕЙ)))) use them, I played with ya
And u can also delete the old shortcut and get either new one or use launch option -applaunch 56400 -nomovies -modname Elite
P.S. Yea, now i've seen that indrid noted on download page that u should delete -dev (now when riku pointed at it). But i wouldnt've even noticed that something went wrong cuz game worked fine and i've connected with other ppl and stuff. But for some reason couldnt join/see slaaneshi's game and other lobbies that he've seen. And it wasnt too clear that i should go to download page and read the instructions. So i guess if ppl see the sympthoms that they have in the topic name, it should be more intuitive place to look for solution
