Thanks for app, but it doesn't have XP compatibility.

You should try to get the latest .NET framework and C/C++ redist packages. And run it in compatibility mode for XP. Let me know if it works! :)

If it use functions from .NET 4.5 or newer it won't work, because .NET 4.5 and newer don't support WinXP.

Hmmm, the current version runs 4.5. I'll see if I can get in a net 4.0 version as well.

I've uploaded a new version, it has a .net 4 and .net 4.5 version. Check if the .net 4 works for you!

You're welcome! :)

A new version has been released fixing/changing/adding:
- You now connect to servers when double clicking items in the server list, before it would only copy the ip and port and you had to paste it in the console when the game was up.
- Now you can also connect to other servers while CoF is running by double clicking any available server, this will tell the running game to connect to it.
- You can now right click any item in the server list, this will pop up a context menu where you can choose to connect to the server or show info about the active players on the server. You can quick refresh this Player Info form by hitting F5.

The download link has been updated to V1.0.0.2:
--------
- Fixed a crash which would occur if you closed the program while searching for servers.
- Fixed an issue when you'd connect to a server when CoF wasn't running it had a 50-50 chance that you would not be connected to the server. (you had to click the server again when CoF was up)
- You can now see which servers are password protected. (displays a padlock icon)
- The server browser has a separate executable for Win XP users, move the CoFServerBrowser.exe from the 'winXP' folder and into the same folder as the .NET 4.5 CoFServerBrowser and overwrite it.
--------

Never mind I just ran as administrator and it's working like a charm but there is too much ping . How can I host a server ? I mean I have port forwarded and I have static ip

Go in-game and host a coop map through the main menu, if you haven't forwarded port 27015 then add +port <port number> in the settings.txt file which is located in the same folder as the server browser's .exe file.
There's more details in the readme file.

I think, what need say about this browser on Steam, that would have known all playing the game.. Maybe, what this thought, is actually.. =\
Also, many thanks for your contribution! You made a very helpful and not small significant part for or of this game! =)

Check the "Required OS version" in Execution options - it's WinNT 6.0 - That means it works only under Vista and higher.
Sorry author for false track with .NET. That's a problem of compiler OS targeting, so I don't know how to fix that.

Not working for me, readme does not tell me what Port Range to input in my router, and without it I can't forward the port, I did placed some random numbers just to get it added, but nothing shows up in the server browser when I start the server. I did everything already, or so I think.

Win10 64-bit, latest stuff, updates and all, did that, did this, nothing at the end.

How do I create the servers?

Reply Good karma Bad karma0 votes

You have to make a local game, make sure to port forward 27015, or launch the game with +port <number> and port forward that number.

Refresh the server browser and you should see your server, you cannot host a dedicated server though. Since the dedicated server is broken in CoF.. :|
