OK, long story short, a friend and I are trying to play ctp2 again, but once we get in a lobby (like the n1.alink.blablah), we have a number of problems.
1. After about 30 seconds, one of us disappears out of the lobby.
2. When we try to join the others game (tried it both ways), just sits there "Joining"
We are both running WinXP Pro w/ SP1. We are both behind Linksys Routers. I made sure our XP firewalls were off, and I set both computers up at DMZ while we figger this out (which should alleviate any NAT problems).
We tried the "run in compatability mode" trick, nothing.
How do the rest of yall play this? Bite the bullet and make a 98 partition? I would rather not do that, too much trouble heh.
We both have the 1.11 patch and APOL pack. Works fine in single player. We can play Civ2Gold just fine, as well as many other games. Any ideas?
I've seen a lot of this problem on here, but no real stated solution, so figure if there is, put it here, one for everyones benefit, and for mine
Thanx for the help fellas.
