Guest Posted July 21, 2003 I have sifted over and searched over the posts, and am still a bit confused and overwhelmed to not be sure of the problem im having. I just bought the GOTY version of the game. I have three pc's, two are desktops, one laptop. I put the GOTY version on my laptop so i can take it over and play with a friend of mine. I have a linksys router which goes thru my main desktop computer and out from there to the other pc's. Now when it comes to multiplayer, when startup the operation flashpoint resistence.exe, goto multiplayer, host a game np, it goes to the map section screen. BUT when i run operation flashpoint.exe, goto multiplayer, and select host, i see the load server go for about a second or so, and thats it, i stay in that screen, it doesnt load to the map section, what gives? Why in resistence it works fine, but not in the original? thank you ps. is this is what is referred to as direct play? The GOTY version makes it 1.46, from what ive read its not good to upgrade to the 1.91 Goty update due to the hd being erased? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benu 1 Posted July 22, 2003 1.46 uses directplay. The problem with erasing the hdd only appears when you host a directplay server with v1.75 or later and there are problems with your network settings afaik. And 1.75+ use socket netcode by default. So you could patch to 1.91 and use socket netcode without fearing for your partition. Do you use any unofficial addons which require a version greater than 1.46? Maybe this could be a reason that resistance is running and cwc is not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
