D2X-XL multiplayer servers

Post by Skin-E »

I found this, and decided to fire up Descent 2 again. Looks great, but I was wondering if anyone still plays online anymore, or if my connection isn't allowing me to see any servers.
I'm on an Alcatel Speed Touch Pro DSL modem, and have it in DMZ (all ports open). D2X-XL sees 1 tracker, but no games are ever up. I check all the time, and try hosting my own, but no one joins.

I'm going to send this thread to the D2X-XL forum, it should get more useful responses there.

It's just that I don't think D2X-XL has a dedicated server command switch yet, so a host would have to be a player as well, which limits what you can host a \"server\" on. Thus, people aren't hosting games often at all. Best option is to start a game and invite others to join via Vortex or the DBB.
