Hidden and Dangerous .net Forums

Been a while since I dropped by the forums here. I pull out my copy of HD2 and play online every now and then. I'll have to re-install it again soon, getting that urge to play it once more. It's still one of my favourite WW2 games of any genre :) IMO, the only remotely close competition comes from m...

Any news on the "patch" that we are waiting for? No there is no news but you can trust that over the past 12 months I have been asking about it. It is always the same thing, the developers want to make it but they have to focus their efforts on their up coming titles. I'd be surprised if one is mad...

I read that Take 2 refused a take over bid from EA Games recently

The easiest way to do this is add your computers LAN IP address to the DMZ on the router. This forwards all ports and is easier than adding half a dozen port forwarding rules. Switch Windows Firewall on to provide protection while running the server. Other firewalls can be confusing to set up proper...

I'm going to reinstall this too, HD2 is easily my favourite WW2 shooter (beats Call of Duty 1/2/3 + BF1942 + Day of Defeat hands down IMO)

I just hope there are some decent HD2 servers still online and populated...

Looks like touching wood didn't help. I started getting a weird, random gamma flicker with my graphics card (GeForce FX5700). Not in the game, but everywhere  :eek: I'm still not completely sure if its the card playing up (its done some weird things before), but I went back to 77.77 drivers: http://...

I'll remember that if I come across trouble with other games.

I upgraded from 81.xx to 91.xx drivers, and made sure I had the latest DirectX pack (June 06). Touch wood, I haven't had a problem yet 

Does anyone else get a crash now and then with an error in ls3df.dll?? Its a HD2 file, apparently associated with graphics: http://www.forumplanet.com/3DActionPlanet/mafia/topic.asp?fid=4489&tid=1317529&p=8 I think I have the latest nvidia drivers and directx, but I will check. I run the game at max...

Oh, thanks. I didn't even notice it was a DM pack 

I've got the unofficial coop mappack, I'm just trying to fill in some of the other coop maps some HD2 servers are using these days

I want to install this coop map pack:

But there is no readme, and I don't think the files are not arranged into the proper folders when I extract it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It might just be wishful thinking on the part of the GameSpy people, but... http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/hidden-dangerous-3/ and http://pc.ign.com/objects/621/621298.html There are pages 'reserved' for HD3, although Illusion Softworks have no information about it on their site, maybe a HD3 is on the dra...

I'm also having the same problem. The HD2 readme says only UDP ports 11001-11003 need to be open: http://england.take2games.com/support/H&D2readme/English/HD2_Readme_US_WEB.htm#MULTIPLAYER_Advanced_Users I've done that, but I dont think other people can access my server when I create it, and there i...

Are there plans for another patch?

I've often had trouble playing HD2SS online. Sometimes after I die, I just won't respawn, nothing will happen, and I have to quit and re-enter the server to start playing again. It has happened to me in both free-for-all and team modes, and is very annoying. I can't seem to be able to pin it down on...
