I am on cable modem, and when i go into Rogue Spear and hit the multiplayer button, It either hangs for about 30 seconds or goes to the next screen instantly,if it goes instantly i can host . if it hangs ,i cannot create game,but i can manual join a game?If i try it just crashes, I can sit at that same screen forever so i have to hit ctrl-alt-del and it says (rogue spear not responding). Other times (not very often),i can go right into it and host no problem. I am not running through a proxy server, I've had the cable people out here several times to tweak connection.I have reinstalled rs and the patches many times . ( I've even formatted and reinstalled win98se twice!)Two days ago i was hosting (amazing I know )and right after about 6 games when the game was loading a mission ,i got bumped right to my desktop(thought to myself ,what the &#$&)I then tried to re-host and nothin doin again. I have been on the zone in the forums with techs and they can't help . I know there is many experienced people out there that may be able to help me out. Hope I'm in the right place. thanx in advance for any suggestions>ps (no antivirus running ,only explorer and systray running, no Lan setup) Londog IP: Logged |

This used to happen to me too. If I rebooted I can host fine again for a bit. After reinstalling DirextX 7a the problem went away. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I had this happen to me today, while testing my mutiplayer (which still crashes, see the Support forum). What I had figured out was while setting up my network settings after changing the network card, I had set a different gateway IP address (I had xxx.10.200.xxx when it should have been xxx.200.10.xxx) in my TCP/IP settings, what this did was change the Class B section of my Gateway, making it different from my static IP address of xxx.200.10.xxx. The game would hang on that screen until I fixed it. It appears that RS gets deeper into the protocols than I had ever expected, which makes solving my problem harder, I fear. Antix IP: Logged |
