I would like to note that it is quite possible that they will come up with an alternative solution however it should be noted they have their hands full with the new Crusader game coming out so it probably isn't a priority. Felt it was important everyone should know so if I wasn't allowed to post here I'd like to apologise.

Many of you will have seen the news today that GameSpy Technologies have announced they will be shutting off their remaining servers on 31st May 2014. Their decision affects all games that use Gamespy for multiplayer matchmaking, which unfortunately includes Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends. As a result multiplayer mode (including LAN) in Stronghold 2 and Stronghold Legends will no longer work as of 31st May 2014.

 

We are currently looking at the feasibility of implementing an alternative multiplayer solution. The team is hard at work on Stronghold Crusader 2 and Stronghold Kingdoms at the moment, but we hope to be able to give you a status update later on in the year.

 

Please note that Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD are unaffected by this decision.

Oh dear, that's a shame. :( We'll have to certainly make use of the last two months of it. Nothing can last forever I suppose but hopefully they'll find a way soon enough after SHC2. Thanks for letting us know.

 

However, there are some positives, version 1.4.1 was only really downloaded because of multiplayer; you couldn't modify it much, and there were issues between versions. Maybe now people will go back to the Deluxe version and maps will not have the same issues that they do at the moment hen they only work fully on some versions.

No problem, you post where you feel it's appropriate. :)

      So after having many crashing issues with version 1.2 of Stronghold Legends and shortly after realizing I lost the Stronghold Collection disk sometime after Christmas (if you don't know you can still play the Stronghold Collection games even if you lose the disk if the game is already downloaded to your computer) I uninstalled Stronghold Legends v 1.2 from my laptop a day or two ago. Today I did obtain the game again through Steam (yay!) and whilst playing through the King Arthur campaign (just

      I have been working on a map for the past 2-3 days now. It is a 3 part map. Parts 1 and 2 work perfectly fine but the third part you are to face down the final invasions. The invasions show up but unfortunately they don't attack no matter what. They are just standing where I set them but they don't start their siege. Even though they have their siege equipment and everything set up. I tried playing a bit with the delay/date and I assume delay (from what I have read) means that they will wai

      Hi everyone! I'm working on a project where I want to modify the graphics of Stronghold Crusader. My goal is to create an entirely new themed game using the existing game's framework, where I’ll redesign everything from buildings and units to the main menu and in-game text. However, I’ve run into some issues with the tools I've tried, and I’m looking for suggestions on what programs I could use and if there are any specialized tools for this. Programs I’ve tried: Drago
