Your friend has to connect to you while you are waiting in "Server setup" screen. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">well i have version 1.00 (lol) and i played a map that came with original OFP. <span id='postcolor'> If you want to play multiplayer, I would strongly suggest you upgrade to at least version 1.30 (or better upgrade to latest version 1.46). There were many multiplayer bugs fixed and multiplayer code improved since 1.00. To upgrade from version 1.00 you need to get upgrades to 1.20, 1.30, 1.46. They are available on our download page and also on many gaming magazine cover CDs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your friend has to connect to you while you are waiting in "Server setup" screen. <span id='postcolor'> Another thing is host has to wait for other players while sitting in the briefing screen. It may take a while before initial status of the world is transferred - you should wait until the other player is green or yellow in list of player. Never press start while the other player is red - as he is not able to start with you yet. If you will download the upgrades mentioned above, you will get warning in this situation.

ALDEGA 0 Posted April 15, 2002 "insert NAME NICK ICQ EMAIL SQUAD" - This is the "player/waiting" screen. You see this when you connect to a server which is already running a mission. It also occurs when a player has NOT selected any "slot". First you will need to select a side. Then, as you progress to the next screen, every player must choose a specific slot. This is something like "LAW soldier" or "Officer". If you do not select a slot in any of these screens, you will not be assigned to any position and thus cannot play, and will be redirected to the "player/waiting" screen.
