Hmmm...well, I set it up and it worked just fine for me...so, the first thing. Are you just using the stock DOSBox downloaded from this site? If so its max memory setting is 32mb. Raising it won't make any difference. Second, try patching the game. I had similar issues with Descent 2 which I installed from CD, but once I patched it to its last version it was perfectly fine.

Also, if you are not using the stock DOSBox, try using it instead.

Ah, nevermind, I got it working. Something was screwy or corrupt with the squadrons. I just deactivated them all and created two new ones on each system and it worked great. I also turned Object and Altitude Data off on both machines. Maybe that made the difference. But it's working like a champ now. Pretty awesome.

Very awesome. Glad you got it working.

Question, do you have any idea what the max number of players is over the network? I need to get it support on my site, but I need to to know that and I can't seem to find that information anywhere.

Finally found the answer in a manual converted to PDF. It's 6 max players over the network.

Ah, sorry for the late reply. Glad you found the answer!

No problem. If you get a chance stop by the Classic Gaming Arena and bring some friends. The URL is in my signature.

Thanks for the invite. Will do!
