[EM 1.828] Evochron Mercenaries Win8 Multiplayer *FIXED*

Post by Republic »

When I try to search for servers it says "Search failed verify Internet connection"

I've allowed Evochron Mercenaries through the Windows firewall.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro, I've tried running as an administrator and in XP SP3 compatibility mode.

Edit: I'm running the latest version 1.828

I'll probably need to review your system in detail to determine what might be blocking the game from accessing the list. I'll do that if you follow the steps here: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/faq.htm#8

Thank you for the quick reply! I'm not sure how or why, but I restarted the game one more time and it is working fine now.

Edit: I think the problem might have been because I had created a new pilot and tried to join multiplayer without having started single player. That is the only difference between when it wasn't working and now that it is.
