Hi people,

A friend and I have had problems running a tcp/ip game of DK2. (we are both running version 1.7, but he has the no-cd patch on).

I can create a game, and my friend can see it, but when he tries to join it, the message at the bottom of the games list changes to something like 'joining game' and then nothing seems to happen. (doesn't crash, just doesn't join the game). My friend has exactly the same problem wrt seeing my games (He can see it but joining it seems to have no effect). This is the first time we have tried multiplayer. We are using maps that we both have.

Also, hosting a multiplayer game is a bit strange. I don't know whether it matters if another human has to join the game (since my friend cant join the game), but as I am hosting the game, I cannot set or change my Allies, and in the game options submenu, all the creatures, traps, doors etc are missing (the tabs are present but the listss are apparently empty).

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am looking forward to playing this game multiplayer.

Thanks,

Mark.
