HELP (again)

[Marsh]

right i've got single player working now (finally) but multiplayer doens't work. when i try to start a lan game i get to the starting game screen (the one with the radar pic) and it just stops there (with radar still spinning). does anyone know anything about this?
i tried installing winsock and i got this in the log:

HELP plz

[Dr.Fandango]

You got the latest patches?

[Marsh]

yes

[mr_grumpy_man]

It's not necessarily a connection problem... certainly if you're trying to start a LAN game then the version of Winsock isn't going to be an issue...

Key Sentance:

"ERROR: unsupported Windows9X version (4,10), canceling setup"

This leads me to suspect the Winsock you're installing isn't intended for your version of windows. What version do you have? I have Win98se and don't recall having to install Winsock 2 (unless it did it automatically - but it was a while since I installed).

[Marsh]

yes i have 98se and didn't think i needed to install winsock but i put it in just incase. any ideas what might cause it not to start?

[mr_grumpy_man]

You've said its all patched up... I had problems with some of the patches. Check you've got the two main ones and also the patch-patch (which fixes the problem caused with the single player game on the most recent patch). If this is the case then (unfortunatly) uninstall and reinstall the game. Try starting the Singleplayer and Lan games before adding any patches. If it works, add the first patch and try again. Then the netcode patch and try again. Then the single player patch and test one last time. Once you've found the point at which it stops working (if it works at all) we'll have a little more information to go on.

[Marsh]

will do
