My friend and I were playing a multiplayer Company of Heroes for the first time between my computer and his laptop over the LAN network which is wireless. (So we are both new to both LAN multiplayer and Online) (I was hosting the game of my desktop)
We were on the same team playing 2 axis teams and all seemed fine until about half an hour in a message came up on my computer saying that effectively his laptop had a lagging grace of 14 seconds behind mine. The exact same message came up on his laptop saying that my system was 14 seconds behind his, then we were booted from each others games and it split in two, so i was playing the game on my own on my computer with his units and buildings and he was plying the same game on his computer by himself with control of my units and buildings. (Effectivly the game split in two and we were both playing a single player match)
So we moved his laptop so that both my desktop and his laptop are both right beside each other and our wireless router and tried again. Still the message came up and we were booted from each others games. So we turned both the settings on both computers down to low and hosted the game on his laptop as it has higher specs than my desktop. Still the message came up and we were booted.
Leading up until the booting there were no signs of lagging, speed or quality problems at all on either computer. Both of our computers are also well capable of running the game on high settings. Does anyone know what the problem was? We thought it might have been the ping as when i hosted it the ping was not great but when it was hosted off the laptop the ping was very good and still the problem persisted.
