It is possible to play the settlers II in hotseat using two mice, unfortunately this does not seem to work for me. I've got here 2 USB mice and one PS/2, but since the readme said you needed one COM or PS/2 mouse and another COM mouse, I dug up an old mouse suitable for a COM-port and installed that one too (yeah I know, so many mice 😒 )
The game will start up with both the PS/2 and COM mouse working. But then, starting a multiplayer hotseat game, both mouse work only for the same player, the other one can't get anything done, he doesn't even have a cursor. Is there something I'm forgetting to do here? Do I need 2 COM-mice? Is there anyone who can help me with this? Thanks in advance.
system specs :
Win XP with sp2
athlon XP 2000+
512Mb Ram
Geforce Ti4200
I tried running the game with VDMS, Dosbox and plain Windows, but it doesn't work properly in either one.
