can anyone remember how the online infrastructure worked at coh2 release? i remember trying to play with a friend and we only had errors and logoffs

it got patched in early 2014 with dedicated servers or something i think


Pretty sure it was P2P connection, as was CoH. I remember the disappointment in CoH1 when my friend got the game and we couldn't play together, cause our ports where closed. It took us some time but eventually we figured it out as the normal way of opening ports didn't work for us.

Yes, CoH 1 used P2P connection. It fully migrated to Steamworks servers September 4th 2013 for CoH (New Steam Version) "patch" released.



I think CoH 2 use Steamworks servers since beginning. No changelog talk about servers migration.

Little history about Steam features:

  • 2013/12/10: Steam Workshop Integration
  • 2015/06/23: In-Game store and User Generated Content (UGC) Hub

I have played every single Relic game since Homeworld launched. As far as COH2 goes, I played the Alpha and Beta for that before launch and we complained quite hard about the latency issues in COH2. They used P2P over Steamworks and it took quite alot of complaining (almost 2 years after) before they did anything to address the issue.
