Been ages since I've lan'd it up (Iseries 13 I think!)

I've:
Prepped up the steam multiplayer games I have.
Done steam offline thingy
DoW 2 offline account

Still got to:
install + patch generals + make it work on win7


So aside from remember powercables what else?

Any other RTS's worth bringing? I'll have Sup Com 2 installed...

sounds like you're nearly sorted mate.. Bring supreme commander if you like bud, someone else may have it and fancy a game over the weekend

What's this?

I have all Dow patches and cod patches on my external , I am off to purchase star craft 2 tonight also . Will we be playin any other call of duties ? Also any other games people need patches for ?


Can I ask a favour from someone , if they have a copy of office I can nab off them for my machine while I am there ? Am trying to rewrite my Cv an cannot find my copy grrr

SC 2 has no LAN option................

See the main lan thread, ashraks posted a link to making sure that steam works offline

Here it is: (reminder for me)

Using Offline Mode on a PC.

Please follow the instructions below to configure Offline Mode on your PC:

1. Start Steam online - make sure the Remember my password box on the login window is checked
2. Verify that all game files are completely updated - you can see the update status for a game under the Library section (when the game shows as 100% - Ready it is ready to be played in Offline Mode)
3. Launch the game you would like to play offline to verify that there are no further updates to download - shut down the game and return to Steam once you have confirmed that the game can be played
4. Go to Steam > Settings to ensure the Don't save account credentials on this computer option is not selected
5. From the main Steam window, go to the Steam menu and select Go Offline
6. Click Restart in Offline Mode to restart Steam in Offline Mode

I have world at war Dan.. not got any keygens or anything tho.. just incase we all wanted a go

I have Office 2003 I can bring for ya mate but it does say "this copy is not genuine blah blah blah" each time you open an application. Everything still works fine in it tho.

I have an oem version from work you can use mate it's what we give out free to staff so it a proper copy

That would be great .. i also own World at war so will down load those patches also ..


should i be bringing any other games ? i will see if i can get a cheap version of generals now but i do own Red alert 2 and C&C 3 .. the only UT's i own are 03 and 04 so i wont bother bringing them .

i have downloaded the server files for Battle field 2 and battle field 2142 ( just cannot find my license key for BF2 grrrrrrrrr ) , either way i am sure TF / CS / CoD will keep us all busy

FYI the versions you will need are: ( please correct me if i am using an older version however i have files for all of these if any one needs on the day )


DOW / Winter assault = 1.51
Soulstorm = 1.1.120 ( someone wanna verify that ? i couldnt see a patch for it )
Dark Crusade = 1.20

Call of Duty 4 : Modern warfare = 1.7

Battlefield 2 = 1.41
BF2/ BF2:SF = 1.20

Battlefield 2142 = 1.50 ( i have this file but unless if its a full install from retail and couldnt find any previous versions on xfire .. will look more tonight )

C&C 3 Tiberium Wars =1.09

I'll borrow that install of office pls Sime

I'm about to patch up generals I'll post up what I get too!

Generals is 1.08

Generals Zero hour is 1.04

I'll download all patches as it could be 'fun' figuring out if they are incremental or total... (oh EA what a wonderful world you live in..)

Bring what you like matey I have UT2004 also, and I took the liberty of downloading a *ahem* backup, with keygen Incase others what to play he he



This is now on 1.50 mate, I have this patch
Below is a list of games I have full patches for:

Generals working fine after that fix I posted

Just found this for BF2 in Win7 (game crashes after 1.5 patch):

1.) Install the game as usual w/or w/o sf
2.) Apply 1.41 patch
3.) Apply 1.5 patch
4.) Re-apply 1.41
5.) Right click on the icon & under advanced, select compatibility for xp & run as admin,hit apply/ok
6.) PLAY HARD!!
