multiplayer problems
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2004 1:44 pm
Greetings,
I got a question about starting a MP game in Baldur's Gate.
When I try to do it, it never works. I start the game (SoA version), click on 'multiplayer', then on 'connect' and then 'create game', my computer just asks me my name and the session's name, but when I choose 'new game' the music stops playing and that's it... no game, no sound, no nothing; even after 5 minutes. the only thing left for me to do is clicking the cancel-button (or the new game-button again, but it has no effect). I tried it with and without pre-generated characters, tried changing the port and speed of the 'Serial' at the Protocol section, with and without a connection to the internet, tried the full and recommended install... it's all the same.
Even clicking on 'join game' is useless, since the game only says I must make sure to have a pre-gen. character ready, but clicking on 'join' just brings me back to the previous screen.
Any suggestions? I would gladly try them
