difficulty registering for multiplayer.

[KLDaly]

Everytime I try to register in order to peruse the pbem challengers, I get a dialog box stating "invalid parameters passed." Is there something I dont know??

[pipfromslitherine]

Often these issues are because of unusual characters in login or password. Try changing your password to see if that helps.

[KLDaly]

are there any special requirements, like: password length, inclusion of numbers or special characters??

[pipfromslitherine]

I can't recall off the top of my head, but I would avoid using any URL tags (e.g. / \ % & etc).

Register on the Slitherin account, then use the link on the email you receive. That worked for me. Then in game it worked.

[Spinalpain]

Yeah I'm having the same issues.

[Spinalpain]

"register" on the slitherine site

that means go and confirm the email ink.
then go to
https://www.slitherine.com/members/register.asp?gid=634
input your steam code

Then you should login in the with the same registration in game.

I've been having difficulty myself. I got registered, but when I got to setting up a multiplayer challenge it only lets me play Orks and Space Marines, which is odd because I purchased all DLC's and I can play their campaigns and in skirmish. Why can't I play as the Astra Militarium or Chaos?

Precisely the same is happening to me. I have registered with my Slytherine account, and I have all DLCs. Why can´t I create a game with/against Astra or Daemons?

[pipfromslitherine]

IIRC the DLC sides are only available in MP in Skirmish. You cannot play prebuilt MP maps with the new sides.

But how do I start an MP skirmish? That´s what I was trying to do.

The premade maps were the only alternative I got.

[pipfromslitherine]

When in multiplayer go to My Games->Create->Create Skirmish. You can then change the Player Side and Enemy Side with the arrows for the 4 sides that are available if you have all the DLC packs.

I see. I thought Create Skirmish is the Start Button after entering your settings. Thank you!!

Hello,

I am having a similar issue. When I select Chaos as a faction for my multiplayer skirmish it resets it to Space Wolves and Orks. Actually no matter who I choose it always sets it back to Space Wolves V Orks. Is there a way to fix this? I own all the DLC and I bought it through steam.

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the report. This does seem to be a bug that is affecting some people, but we have not been able to repeat it unfortunately. We are trying to determine what could be happening. Are you trying to create a PvP or a Coop skirmish game?

Cheers

I finally managed to repeat and fix this. It will be resolved in the next update. Until then you can work around the problem by creating the skirmish, then remaining in the MP lobby until the other player has accepted, then start the first turn. Once the initial turn is created and saved with the correct sides all can go on as usual.

I believe this bug only happens for coop skirmishes.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Cheers
