Have you played Car Arcanum? What do you think of it? I personally have played a bit of it, but I'm not sure if I like most of it's extra features. Although I have to say that so far I enjoy the extra locations and buildings.

I haven't been able to get the thing working.
I have Win 98 SE
I installed the game
I put the stuff in the directories in the PDF file
I ran the first patch
I couldn't find the Tab mentioned in the instructions
I ran the 1074 patch
I ran the little patch exe file
Nothing happened
I ran the game and it wasn't available in multiplay
What did I do wrong?

You have to delete some files as written in the pdf documents of Car Arcanum, before you install the module. Post a reply if you need further help.

Take 3
Ok, I tried again
Erased all of the directories of Arcanum
Clean install of Arcanum
Installed Patch for 1074
Opened the zip file
Put the the patch files where they belonged. (Dat in \arcanum, runthis...in \arcanum, patch1 in \arcanum\modules
Looked for the files to delete but didn't find them
Tried to run the patching exe unsuccessfully. FYI it never runs properly.
Ran the game
The files that were supposed to be deleted appeared
Looked in the directories and changed the names as required.
Ran game again...
MULTIPLAYER
HOST GAME
clicked where it said Vermontown...nothing...
DUDE...HELP! When can you walk me through it live via Yahoo IM or AOLIM?

Car Arcanum Multi Player
I tried to use the World Editor but it cannot find the Car Arcanum Module.
The very first time I got it working, I saw a Car Arcanum dat file. But when I loaded it in the World Editor, there was an error and I lost Car Arcanum. After 2 days of trying to fix it, I got Car Arcanum running in single player mode again.
How do I get the module back or is there another way to make it multiplayer?
Note the first time I had it running, it was stuck in Realtime combat.

Altair there is no way to run ordinary Arcanum or Car Arcanum in multiplayer.
If you cannot run Car Arcanum in single player i will be glad to help you.
