CTP2 Multiplayer

[ElvisMonster]

I was really disappointed to find out that CivIII didn't have a multiplayer option. It's good to hear that they're working on it, but I'm such an instant gratification kind of guy!

So I went back and reinstalled CTP2 and tried to join the one remaining multiplayer server and.................


(meltdown in 3.....2......1)


I couldn't join the lobby!!!!! *serenity NOW*
Ok, I patched tried again and still no dice. According to the FAQ there is a problem with high-speed connections?!

Does anybody have any tips or tricks that might help me around this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try over writing your servers.dat file. It worked when I had a similar problem.

Yeah this is really a frequented asked question. Therefore you can find the answer as well in the FAQ thread. Here are the links to the servers.dat: On my page and mirrored on CtP2 Modmaker's Depot.
