DescentBB

Hello Dbb,
Me and my brother are trying to LAN Descent 2. We have the latest version of D2x working on our computers individually. But if we try to LAN cooperative...it crashes after the game has loaded, as soon as one of us enters the others game...can anyone help? Or are we stuck on this one? Our computers are both quite up to date for gaming standards. That, of course, may be the problem though.

which version of D2x are you using? from there, I recommend you hit their sites. There is some excellent support.

Are you using DXX Rebirth or D2X-XL?

Each has their own developers and places to file bug reports. DXX has a bug that has been reported about crashing in multiplayer. I can post the link to that thread if you want to read it.

Hey, we got it. I rolled back to version w32-1.10.14
Thanks guys.

use rebirth

Rebirth x2

Rebirth is more stable, has less bugs, and every release is thoroughly tested before it goes to the public. That way you don't have to roll back until you find a known stable build of the program.

the current release of Rebirth has a coop bug that causes you to have to start each next level fresh. That is, you loose all your weapons. Zico knows this and blogged that he will start work on \"overhauling\" the net code. Don't expect it soon as it's a big job. Read about it Here

Esgalachoir, DXX Rebirth 0.53 works flawlessly with network play. I keep archives of my downloads and so I can send it to you if you need it.
