Cross Platform Multiplayer issue
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 6:49 am
Greetings,
The following errors occur on my Mac OSX 10.4.4 box running d2x-xl 1.5.86 when attempting to join a multiplayer game hosted on a Windows box running d2x-xl 1.5.86. This windows game can be joined by another windows box on the same local network without errors.
All machines have an identical d2x-xl directory with exactly the same data files.
On the mac,
Multiplayer menu selected,
Join UPD/IP Netgame selected.
Error message: (partially readable)
CGIFCONF) Failure during broadcast detection
OK
Entered IP of host windows box, default port
Enter
1. Game_to_join ....... Forming
Enter
Windows host box shows a #2 box with a red \"X\" but without a name.
Attempt to start net game on host anyway
On Mac
Error message:
Your level file does not match the other players. Cannot join game.
OK
Dave
