Some of you may have seen a tutorial from me before quite awhile back. It was wonky, confusing and also didn't work most of the time, and also I shutdown that server I ran personally, the base was still in very early stages and so broke most of the time. But no more, I have tested and played and provide to you a new solution and the server browser will also work!

Powered by OpenSpy[openspy.net] we are now once again able to play FSW CO-OP, hold your horses! You still have something to do first, and I will make it very easy for you.

I have patched the DLL of both the Steam version and the GOG version of the games, I think they are pretty much identical, though GOG does have a launcher built in, where you can customize the resolution, to fit modern day screens, if you want to know more about changing the resolution follow this person's Guide But with this new DLL you can skip the part Fixing the Framerate

Download for Steam [mega.nz]
Download for GOG [mega.nz]

When you download you will get FSW.dll all you have to do is replace the FSW.dll in your game folder with this one. If you compare the two you will see that the only difference is that the GameSpy urls was switched out with OpenSpy. If you have different versions of the game, then you can patch the dll yourself using a hex editor like HxD, just use the find and replace feature, find gamespy.com and replace with openspy.net. You can find your game folder on Steam by going on Library>Right-Click on FSW>Properties>Local Files>Browse There you just want to paste the patched dll in there, and replace the old one. Now you can startup the game, and you will be able to host, and join another player. To find the GOG version will depend on where you installed it, and if you used GOG Galaxy, I used the Offline Installer, and by default it is installed at C:\GOG Games\Full Spectrum Warrior the procedure is the same for the Steam version, just replace the FSW.dll with the patched one.

Get out there Soldier!
