I looked at several threads and I'm not sure if this one is covered, but since Warlords is new, I'll start a new thread. I have discovered that the Gamespy lobby has not yet updated the system to support the Warlords PitBoss. 2K games tech support believes it could be another two weeks or so. Please join me in contacting Gamespy, gently asking them to kindly rush this process along. In the meantime, our game should still work in a direct IP connection, but I have no idea how to set that up. Can anyone help me? I lost my game manual.

A pitboss DirectIP game is just like a normal DirectIP, setup your server app, and email your players your public/internet IP, they then can join your pitboss game via the normal Direct IP method used for alll DirectIP MP games.

Thx, CS. I just tried that but unfortunately when I try to log into my own game I recieve the same error message I got for lobby PitBoss "our critical files do not match the critical files of the host." Do direct IP games also run through the Gamespy server?

Are you trying to log into your pitboss from the same computer or a home LAN? You can sent me an email with your IP and I can try logging into your game and see what I get. I don't think warlords pitboss was tested as it was assumed that it's just a recompiled version to be compatable with the WL exe. So ya never know.... there could be a bug CS

One more thing, when you set your app up did you select DirectIP in the second options screen during setup?

The same computer.
2k Games was pretty positive that that Gamespy hasn't updated their critical files. I had my Canadian friend try to log onto his PitBoss game from his own computer and he encountered the same error message.
Yes.

Well I got the same error as you connecting over the internet, odd DirectIP is not suppose to use GS at all, so the problem maybe more than a GS issue, but I'll post this as a bug in the Firaxis forums.

Thank you sooo much for finding that fix. This is going to make a lot of patient ladderites happy. Your effort is a credit to admins.
