okay, earlier this week i posted a thread asking for help on a multi i'm working on. i have now done all those steps, reset it to a 450 cache, but i have a problem still. to test my new settings, i tried loading a game using the TCP/IP function just to see if it would work. it didnt, and it instead decided to lock up like the crappy, 56k-equipped WinME using hunk of scrap that it is! however, i installed the DirectX patch BEFORE i installed TotSC because it said not to if i hat TotSC installed... should i ignore this warning and just install it anyways? this is a bg1 multi, btw, if that makes any difference.

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

why 450 caches? I remember it is a universal law to use 300 cache size http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

because idunno... 450 is what one of the people are using, so we adjusted our cache size to meet his.

have you tried 300 on yourself?

also, what I do when I am having hard time running shit is:

turn off sound, turn graphic setting into the lowest

and what is WinME by the way?

is your TCP/IP configuration set correctly?

can you try and play some other games with TCP/IP? try it, if that game doesn't work, then you know where to look

okay, i've NEVER had trouble doing this on GameSpy, it JUST started doing this crap on TCP/IP... and will a different cache make a difference? i'll try it for myself... WinME is Windows Millennium Edition, i'm sure you've heard of people complainging about it at some time in history... and how would i know if my config was set correctly? far as i know, it doesnt LET you configure it.

If it works on gamespy, then why don't you play on gamespy?

look here what we do:
you host a game on gamespy. have everyone join your game
then, everyone quites, turns off gamespy, then rejoins your game by TCP/IP (since your IP number is already saved on their computers)

this way, it is still a Lan game, so it is fast enough http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

problem is, one of the people doesnt HAVE gamespy, making this oh so much more difficult... however, if that particular person is reading this, please tell me if you have recently downloaded GS since Tuesday... itll make all the difference!

he DOESNT need gamespy to play

when everyone joined your game, they can read your IP number, so just have them give the IP to that person who doesn't have gamespy, that guy can join manually

also, you can check your own IP number by:
open MsDos-Prompt
type: winconfig (or wincfg, I forgot which one) then 'enter'

it will show you your IP number, this way, you guys can play

yes, we've DONE that, however, there is still a problem, because when i try to create a game, my comp locks up. when i try to join a game, my comp locks up. i just cant win! although, your gamespy idea might work... beating the system! i'll try that, but if it doesnt work...http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/1zhelp.gif
