how can i start a multiplayer without logging on to the net. ive read that you have to start a multiplayer using tcp/ip but its asking for a host name (or address) and i cant think of a good number to put into it. can you play the game (single player-shadow of the amn) with a saved multiplayer? sorry for asking too much.

I use Serial, not TCP/IP.

As for the second question, yes, you can.

Copy your savegame folder from the following directory,

<font color="white">C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\mpsave</font>

and paste it into the following directory,

<font color="white">C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\save</font>

Restart the game and load it up from Singleplayer. This is how people play with more than one custom character in Singleplayer.

not to worry, it worked for me. basically, u type a player name and session name, switch to tcp/ip and create ur party. i think u save and then move the save from multiplayer folder in the BG2 directory in to the single player one. hope this helps. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You have to have a minimum of recommended install, and a cache size of over 250?mbs.
