GWX multiplayer problem...

Kpt. Kozloff · 01-31-07, 08:34 AM

Hi,
First of all big respect for the GWX makers. It's a beauty.

I'm a newbie on this forum, but i've been playing SH since it first came out. And i must say that both SH2 & SH3 wouldn't be as good without the mods. Fair play to all of you mates and big respect for the hard work you put into it. Thank you.

One question though...
Recently i've experienced problems with connecting via LAN with my friend's computer. On a stock version of SH3 patched up to 1.4b everything worked fine. Now we've got the same machines and game versions (SH3 1.4b with GWX) but just when the engine room screen starts to load i'm being disconnected ("server has quit"). Is this a known problem, 'cause i couldn't find it in the threads. Anyone?
Thanks.

Keep on fishin'.

As long as the both of you have exactly the same install (ex. GWX with the 23rd update on both pcs) there shouldn't be a problem. I've played MP with GWX with others with no problems. Wish I had an answer for you.

Thanks anyway, i appreciate it.

Tonight I tried dipping my feet into the water with a GWX MP game. I also experienced the "server has quit" problem repeatedly, on both LAN and Ubi.com game attempts.

What was the problem that was identified by danlisa and Kpt. Kozloff? It will probably help me.

Cheers in anticipation!

Acorn Minor.
You need to have the excate same files as the person who is hosting the game. If you have any different mods installed on your install to the person who is hosting you will CTD.
Make sure that you and all the other guys who want to play together have the same install and you will no problems

Us guys that play MP on here use the MP match up thread to let people know when a game is up and what mods they have installed.

I hope this helps

I got that same problem too but everybody that I ask said that my comp is low-end to play GWX MP wit the dec23 patch on.

i would say you need at least 1gb of ram to get by on MP just to be safe.

Just meeting the minium specs to run SH3 will not be enough to play MP as the is so much more for your computer to handle.
