    • Ares 1.2b3


      Does anyone know if the Ares application that came with Hera is compatible with Gameranger as I understand the 'normal' version can't play scenario files. It probably says in the documentation somewhere but I have very little time at the moment to search through it all.

    • Yes, the public relese of Ares cannot play scenario files.

    • Yes, fine, but can you play the Ares application that came with Hera on Gameranger?

    • Yep, the Ares beta works fine on GameRanger. It's compatible backwards, forwards, and sideways.

    • Now all I need is someone to try my network scenario.

    • I'd be glad too....
      If you gave me Ares and Hera ß versions so that I could run it....
      And if I had my GR account back :frown:

    • Er, I don't know if this is just me, but with the 1.2.0b version of Hera, I can't play with anyone else on GR - at least not as a registered player. I'm also getting really frustrating crashes whenever I try and play a game of Ares, with EITHER version. I'm thinking its a byproduct of sharing pref files, but I still haven't tracked it down...

    • Hmmmm. When I use either version, i.e retail or beta, I have to host or I get a network error. I figured my problem was with the prefs too but changing or removing them from the system folder just doesn't help.
