Hey guys!

Me and my friend just purchased Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary and we encountered a problem.
We play the game in multiplayer and after a time it just freezes if it was paused and it says:
"Waiting for user: <Me>. Waiting for user: <My Friend>"

We tried playing it through hamachi, tunngle and even direct ip. And in all cases everything is fine in the first 10 minutes, then the game seems to lose connection for some reason and we can't understand how to prevent this.

Is here anyone who experienced this? How to solve it?

Hi,

I suppose you made sure you have the port open on the router at server side, and allow the executable in your firewall?

The port is open. He can connect, we can play. Everything is fine, we can play smoothly but after 15 minutes the game pauses and says "Waiting for user: <Me>. Waiting for user: <My Friend>".

ok, odd issue, just to make sure I tried running lan between desktop and laptop for an hour and it was fine, so I'm guessing it must be an isolated issue.

do you and your friend have any other means of testing it, maybe then you can find out who's side it's on?

Did you find a solution?
I still have the same problem.

Hey everyone,

My buddy and I download The Settlers II - 10th Anniversary recently and are having the exact same problem. A few minutes in we just get the "Waiting for user: <Me>. Waiting for user: <My Friend>" error. Super frustrating!

Any solutions?

Cheers,

Tim

There was a Patch for this game to fix this connection problem. Its name is:
Patch 11757
from 2007. But I think GOG implemented it already.

Today you can play Multiplayer via Gameranger. The GOG version is compatible with the CD Version.
But all players must have the patch installed.
Installing The Vikings DLC to that game automatically patches up the base game to 11757.
