how to start multiplayer

[MistaWells]

i got this game for myself and 3 other friends. i was hoping i could play multiplayer with them but i cant figure out how start it. i see alot of people saying you just need to choose "share the pain" in some kind of menu but no menu pops up before i start the game and there is no option for "share the pain" in the new game menu. any helpful info would be fantastic, thanks. :-)

when you launch the game this should show up, then you select share the pain

aaaaahhhh... i prabably shouldn't have clicked he skip launcher check box then
XD how do i re-enable it?

There probably is an easier option, but this also works.
Navigate to this game's System folder
( Program FIles > Steam > steamapps > common > Postal2Complete > System )
and open the file "Launcher.ini"
Then change

[General]
SkipLauncher=1

to

[General]
SkipLauncher=0

anothet thing u could do is find the share the pain system folder in your steam apps folder somehwere like here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\POSTAL2Complete\ShareThePain\System
then there should be the "Postal2MP.exe" which you can add to your steam library and then launch from there

i have a guide which can help you set up and use co-op maps from the single player game

yeah so i fallowed your tutorial and downloaded the maps and all of the suden my web browser locks me out saying there might be an attacker trying to gain access to my personal info. would you mind telling me how this could happen only arfter fallowing your instructions? i actually had to restore my computer because of the warnings my web browsers where giving me

[MistaWells]

i got these warnings for every thing i would try and do. i got them while trying to go to amazon or google of youtube. every website in every browser was giving this (warning security sertificate error this website is not safe.) error. the browsers would't even let me continue. not that i would want to since something was obviousely wrong.

many people have used my guide and gotten it to work properly
but one of my friends have had a issue where their anti-virus does not trust the postal 2 maps due to the extention being ".♥♥♥" which may be considered dodgy or some shiz :P
but another way to get postal 2 MP maps is to opt for the beta then copy the maps from the beta into share the pain with the multiplayer thing at the start which my guide alternativly suggests
i just uploaded a few maps i converted to make it easier for lazy people xP

also idk if you pushed a fake download button coz i remeber there used to be pop-ups on that site but i've desabled ads and pop ups :P
but the download button is this fairly obvious green one http://imgur.com/9CgOo6r

i use mediafire alot. i know which button to click. idk maybe it was another website that gave me what ever virus i had. quick question. can i still transition to different parts of the map in mp and do i need to use the beta 1409 version of postal 2 to play? sorry for the temper i wasn't in the best mood when i typed that msg

you cannot transition maps which is why you just convert a whole bunch of single player maps and then if you're the admin you can push escape and change the maps manually
also you do need the 1409 maps of postal 2 because the multiplayer does not support the changes for the weapons or the new weapons in the maps so it'll just crash
i suggest copying and pasting your postal 2 folder in steam, then opting for the beta (which will over right the non copied game) then copying the maps from there :P
i have it easy coz i have the old version from years ago, the steam version. and GOG version xD

[MistaWells]

ok i just figured out what happened. i thought i remembered some one say that if you your computers time back to oct 30 you could play the halloween update. so i did that and thats what cave me the security errors. now i just feel stupid XD apologies again for the heated comments earlier

[d0gv0m1t]

its allgoods xP i'd probs be pissed if i thought my computer has viruses
so you were able to get the maps and shiz?
