Hi,

I can entry in chat pre-game but when the host starts the game i don t join in the map.

Everything looks fine. DirectPlay is configured and the game was found on your harddrive. If you still have problems try rejoining the lobby or restarting your computer.

Does the game work offline? If you haven't tried it yet, please do so.

Please ensure that your game room settings are exactly like this:

You can verify this by hosting a game room in any lobby

Hi Chris,
2 Case:
1.Host
translated from italian : " Error starting game"
This try is with Pc doing "Start at single player menu" It s egual with players
2.Not host
translated from italian "Starting a new game in progress"

Please download and install the offline 1.5 patch from here:

Once done, run the game offline with 1.5 patch and let us know how it went. If it does work offline with 1.5 patch, it would also work with Voobly.

If that does not work at all, please follow the steps mentioned here to perform a clean installation of the game:
