MultiPlayer Help Please

Could someone please help me get multiplayer to work???

I can see the host info when I "update", but when I "connect" .... nothing happens.

Both computers are in the same room, first time I tried to connect, the "host" computer asked to allow the connection ... so they are seing each other but .... nada!

My son and I are dying to play some Heretic together.

Thanks, Marty

    Please post your doomsday.out logs for both machines after having attempted to connect to a game.

    Thank you for the reply. Not sure how to post a file ... so guess I'll just copy & paste the text from those files?

    Only my Desktop had such a file, the laptop which was "joining" the game did not.
    (BTW) - Diablo 2 LOD works just fine so I know there is nothing wrong with the connection(s)

    You appear to be using a much older version of Doomsday (2007), first I would suggest you update to the latest release available on both systems before then trying again. There have been numerous network and multiplayer fixes since that version.
  • ic1hooksic1hooks
    I'll do that and get back to you .... I really appreciate your time on this.
  • ic1hooksic1hooks
    OK ... Well, that didn't work at all. There's no option to HOST a game under Multiplayer and the new & improved graphics don't seem to be working either. Now I'm totally lost.

    Got rid of everything, downloaded v1.8.6 from the homepage and installed it on both. Multiplayer works now ... however ..... I get a bunch of errors related to glBSP utility not found. Do I need to get that elsewhere?

    and

    quiting the game locks up both computers, have to use task manager to shut 'em down. (might have something to do with the above)

    Gonna try one last thing ... I have a file in my downloads folder called 1.9.0 beta5. I'll see what that does.

    It is safe to ignore the messages about glBSP.

    (glBSP effectively fixes graphical glitches in a number of maps, but it is not essential to have. To get rid of the messages, you would have to install glBSP separately; I'm not sure where it's available nowadays, if anywhere.)

    v1.8.6 is several years old. It's likely that it is incompatible with the graphics and/or audio drivers on your computer, causing the lockup.

    However, you may find that v1.8.6 is for the time being your best option for LAN multiplayer. For the upcoming new version (1.9.7) we have been working on improving the multiplayer support, but currently it has no GUI for hosting games on your own local network. One will be added in the near future, though.
  • VermilVermil
    The Kickstart launcher has a checkbox for enabling/disabling checking for GLBSP under the misc tab.

    It is Kickstart, not 1.8.6 looking for it; Dday got rid of the requirement for the external GLBSP program before 1.8.6, however the Kickstart launchers default settings were not updated to have the above mentioned checkbox unchecked.

    Another option that 1.8.6's Kickstart was not updated for is memory. Change this from 32 to 256 (256 is the max) for improved performance.
