Anyone still play Darkest Hour?

[gnosis89]

Was wondering if anyone still plays Darkest Hour....RO in general is a bit low on people, so I was wondering if it

I play once and a while. I usually am playing RO2 though. Today I played DH for a little while on a pretty full server. Fun times.

I was on Darkest Hour yesterday, there were about 60 people on one server and 40 on another. A new unit just started and there are new maps coming. So yeah, it's still being played

Good to know. I've been getting just a touch burned out on the only maps for RO still being played regularly (with people instead of bots) being Danzig and Berezina, with the occasional Arad. So I just downloaded DH last night and am looking forward to getting that cranked up.

New maps?!

But at Europe, there are no servers left and noone is still playing DH.
I am sorry about that, cause DH is really good, but from beginning,
it also had a very small playersbase

Yea, could you tell us more ? I saw info about update some time ago, and wonder when it will be release.

Good News: The final update for Darkest Hour: Europe '44-'45 is NOW available for download on Steam.

Me! And the new 5.1 patch kick asses! SUPER AWESOME GREAT JOB devs, keep it as much realistic and as much hardcore as you can!

I came across this topic through Google. What's the community like now? Is it worth me re-installing DH, or does no one play any more?

3x in a week, 29th ID!

Check:

pub-play is pretty much dead.

Ya it's a shame but the linux patch thing killed it pretty much.

Up until then 29th server (70 people) was regularly full every day at peak times, as well as a couple other servers.

Too bad because frankly it's still the only shooter I'm interested in playing regularly at all.

 

[Unterscharfuhrer]

Still play it but I would play more if the browser would work again!

The prpblem isnt the browser. The problem is the steam_appid.txt file.

It has the wrong game number in it.

RO = 1200
DH = 1280

What you will find is that the update over-writes this file and puts the wrong number in it.

When I open this file, it has only one value - 1210

It doesn't say anything else.. just the number 1210.

How should it look? Have you changed this value and has it fixed the issue for you? You posted that RO and DH have different values.. are there supposed to be 2 numbers in this file?

Thanks for your input Wizard. I think we're getting somewhere.

 

[Wizard220]

I have no idea on why 1210 is in there. Mistake by twi?

Replace 1210 with 1200 ( client )

Now if you run a server then make the number according to the server, ie:

RO = 1200
DH = 1280

Here is a neat way to find the steam appid for a game.

Retrieve the Application ID for a Steam Game

This process can also be used for Demos, Media, and other products on Steam:

1. Login to the Steam account
2. Go to your Library
3. Right click the installed game and choose "Create desktop shortcut"
4. Go to your Desktop and locate the new shortcut
5. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties
6. Look at the target path for the number following steam://rungameid/. This number is the Application ID for the game.

Sweet, thanks for the info Wizz. I'll change that value and see how it goes. As a client, if I want to see the DH browser, would I change the value to 1280 or will 1200 work for DH as well?

I just changed the value to 1200 and it didn't seem to change anything in DH, but I imagine that's because all of the servers have the incorrect value as well. Again, thanks for the info Wizz... let's hope this helps TWI fix the issue.

RO = 1200
(they are different)
DH = 1280

Our RO and DH servers show up in the browser for each just fine....
