Here is another tip for you newbies. Make a shortcut on your desktop with the following executable:
dom2.exe --tcpclient --ipadr 69.10.97.69 --port 65000

This sounds like a great idea -- but I'm not exactly sure what to do. Can you elaborate a bit? Thanks.

And the server seems to be down still.

Default Re: Shortcut

Hmmmm..... Are you really THAT computer iliiterate???

The following only works for WIN XP, but the other window operating systems are similar:
1. Riht click on the icon which starts Dom2 and select create shortcut.
2. Go to the shortcut you just created, right click on it and select rename. Change it to GrimK or Newbiegame 2, or whatever floats your boat.
3. Right click on it again and select properties.
4. Copy the above shortcut inside the target box.
5. Hit apply.

And presto-chango! You now have a direct link to Grim Knight's server. No more selecting network and typing in a bunch of random numbers!

Ain't Bill Gates amazing???

Default Re: Connect

Ouch, I have a strange problem. Yesterday I was playing a single player battle and I got an out of memory error (I have half a gig of RAM). The game would not restart. So I reloaded, and re-patched but still it won't work.

Any ideas?
