Hi you guys,
A few days ago ive tried to play screamer (1995) over a LAN (IPX Protocol/Pentium I/Win95 running on dos mode), and it detected both computers/players over the network, but once ive hit enter, instead of going to the race itself, it goes back to the default menu like its ignoring the multiplayer game.
My network settings are 100%, ive played other games over this lan like: doom, rott, quake, etc...so the problem its within the game.
Ive search for this and ive found thats a bug in the original game:
https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/10285-screamer/faqs/1674 (search the page contents for "network")
"Couple of people on the net are disgruntled. Why? Everytime they
try to run the net game, it goes fine, until they try to start the race.
When anyone presses enter, the things goes berserk, and dumps the entire
network to the previous screen. So, what's the deal here? Well, I shall
proceed to mail this problem to Virgin, but I really doubt they will try
to fix this. But then, I can be wrong here."
is that true? if that is the case, does anyone know where can i find a patch or fix for network playing?
thanks in advance,
