When I click on multiplayer -> internet its comming up saying no cd key or similar. I just purchaced this great remake of settlers 2 today. and i must say wow what a remake i love it , I just wish i didn't have this no cd key problem. can anyone help

I don't think internet play is working, it asks for account details and when I give some it says the servers can't be reached. Of course it's an old game so I didn't expect them to be up. Multiplayer lan and ip seem to be working however.

I have also problem with internet play. is there any way to play online with a friend? Cant connect to my account, says that there is a problem with matchmaking.

I tried playing with a distant friend both with vikings addon installed(don't think that should matter, but maybe it does), and it worked:

one should be the server, the other should log in at ip.

for the server:
- open port 5479 on your router and forward it to your internal ip. (if you use a router)
- allow the port or the executable in your firewall. (you do have one do you?)
- tell your friend your external ip adress (find out: https://www.google.com/search?q=whats+my+ip).
- start the game, go to multiplayer and choose 'lan' followed by 'create game'.
- setup map and conditions, wait in the lobby for your other player(s) to log in.

for the client:
- start the game, go to multiplayer and choose 'direct ip adress'.
- use the ip provided by the server (no need to specify port, just ip) and press join.

both once in:
- to signal you are ready to start start place a mark at ready (above your color) and off you go.

Hope you get it working,
Darkje
