Go to the chat channel labeled “classic games””

That’s where everybody is going.

Also you may need to go to war2.ru to download a ddraw.dll file if chat is messed up, just put it in war 2 folder.

One last note, if you want to host you want to open ports directly to battle.net 6112-6119 UDP.
You would have to access your router and go to ports.
And then match your Ip and enter the blizzard ports for UDP.

Any other questions feel free to ask.
If you are finding yourself connecting ports and not be able to join/create- you may need to contact your ISP directly and ask them to update your ports.

So yo recap.
Working ddraw at war2.ru
Classic games is char channel
Update port settings

And one last note- sometimes if you re-enter bnet a couple times, the port error when you login will disappear.

Thank you

If you want other versions for languages, GoG does not currently support so go to war2.ru and download anworking combat version for your language. You will have to update your cd key still in cd key folder so make sure you have a GoG version of the game

Useful post so bump.

Need to make "char channel" into "chat channel" :D
