Don't worry, it's a friendly place, and there's a wide range of skill levels so you'll find plenty of other beginners. Don't spam, but encourage people in any gaming forums you participate in, Facebook friends, Twitter, Steam groups, everyone. Now is the time to spread the word and convince friends to give it a try. You can still play 4-player online games with the demos. If you don't have the game, or you can't find the disks, download the free demo versions (see below). Time: Sunday August 29: 9am PDT / 12pm EDT/ 4pm GMT onwards Other friendo with Windows 8 has the same issue. only with SH2, i can play Company Heroes with Gameranger for example.
Gameranger and SH2 open correctly, the problem is only in multiplayer mode with SH2. If you've played a long time ago, or even if you've never tried it, come and get involved! I suspect it is the problem of Windows 8, although you indicated to me that you have your windows 8 and you can play for gameranger.
