Hi Cybaslasher!

I am playing IWD/HoW with one other person and we did finish IWD a few days ago and plan now to finish HoW. He and I were in a BG2 game with a third person who left, so I doubt we'll finish that game. Figures! I've already played through IWD in single play, but not BG2! So now I guess I'll dust off my single game and see if I can remember what the heck I've done and was going to do! I'm still in CH2!

I may try and set up another BG2 game as a multi, one day. I really enjoy multi-play and BG2 was lots of fun that way! A little advice? Keep the number of players to two or three. And always keep in mind that it's possible the other player(s) could bail out for whatever reason, so don't get too attached to your game unless YOU host it. You could play it as a single game then in order to finish if you really wanted to. But don't count on finding someone to fill in for a bailed player...I've found that nobody wants to jump in midway and use another person's pc...sigh...

Good luck in any multi-player games you start!

I am playing two right now and have no idea. Give me a few months and I'll get back with you on it.

The problem with Multiplayer games you play on sites such as GameSpy, is that you never know who you'll get to play with you. Unless you know the people, its very hard to play a complete chapter, much less a game. I was on almost 8 hours one day, and never even completed chapter 1, so many kids and hackers and irritating people there who you'll get.

So Unless you get some people you know are great gameplayers, you will have a very bad time trying multiplayer.

Gamespy is IMO a complete waste of time. Lag is horrible, you maynot even be able to join a game after 7289579823 tries and when you do the guy who started the game migth think youre taking too long and boot you.

Youd be better off starting a TCP/IP game with someone you know.

I only play direct TCP/IP games as multi-player games! You only play with people you choose in advance that way and the connection is direct.
