Hosting and playing on the same sever vista

[ANTH 0]

Has anyone came across this problem if I want to host a dedicated server and connect to it one of them crashes to desktop, so if I host a dedicated server then load up ofp from the same computer go to multilayer it the crashes once I click the multiplayer.

This is in vista x64 any one know the reason behind this? It used to work well in xp. Maybe there is a solution or any guru can explain?

That is why it's called a dedicated server, because your computer will dedicate itself entirely to hosting the server. You need a different computer to actually play on it yourself, as opposed to where a player hosts a normal server while playing.

I know what it is yes, but im asking is there away around it in vista so I can host and play like in xp you can without having to go through all the crap of giving people ips.

<s>Works just fine in XP if you have enough system resources.

I don't know why it crashes on Vista but try using the dedicated exe (not -server parameter). Or copy ofp to another dir so they don't use the same files. Could try changing the port too (-port= parameter).</s>

Actually, it's probably your firewall asking if opflash should be allowed to act as a server. Try pressing enter or alt+a (for allow button) or run ofp windowed (-window parameter) so you can see what's going on.

Na my ports are forwarded and firewall ports are open 1 of the two work separate but they will not work together.
