This is likely an issue with your network. The game does not use central servers.

Download this and add it to <user folder>/.tanks/crusades: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/811853608761032705/813927924267745300/Wii_crusade.tanks

Try using Java to run it from the command line and tell me what it prints into the command line.

Hm, can you try running the JAR from the command line and tell me what pops up in it? I can help you do this if you join the Discord: https://discord.gg/aWPaJD3

Could you also include your system specs? Thanks!

Try using the Java version

Glad you enjoyed it! By the way - there’s a recreation of the original Wii levels available - if you’re interested let me know.

Oh - if you insert the thing inside the "To Location" textbox in the windows explorer address bar (shown in the image attached) you should be able to find the folder, which should have a folder for tanks or something containing a zip folder. Right click the zip folder and select "Extract all" - inside there should be a Tanks1.1.3.exe file that you can run. If you have trouble finding the zip file, try downloading from the itch.io website (not the windows app). Let me know if that works or if you need further help.

There are download links and installation instructions at the bottom of the page (right above the comments section you’re reading here). If you need help with installation, please join the discord linked at the very top of the page. I hope you enjoy the game!

Hi! I would like to show all of you my newly-published game - Tanks: The Crusades!

Tanks is a game where you control a blue tank and try to defeat a variety of enemy tanks with different abilities using your bouncing bullets and explosive mines.

Here's a trailer:

Over the past 2 and a half years or so, what started as a little project to re-create one of my favorite childhood games, Tanks from Wii Play, evolved into a full-on game! (It was also an amazing learning experience - I built the game engine from scratch in Java, and picked up quite a bit of knowledge of topics like OpenGL and networking along the way!) 

The game expands on what I felt the Wii Play version was lacking in. This game features a customizable level and campaign editor, items (which can be customized in the editor), custom level sizes and background colors, multiplayer with as many players as you want (featuring a versus mode too!), and much more.

Here's some screenshots:
