Multiplayer will not start - Little help?

[LePous]

Hi, I'll try to keep it brief.

When I click multiplayer, the game freezes for a second or two and then nothing happens. Upon Ctrl Alt Deleting out of the game, I noticed that a popup window appears, stating that the display is unsupported.

Here's what I've tried:

-dx9
-dxlevel 90
Running in compatibility for windows xp service pack 2, service pack 3, windows 7.
Running different combinations of the above
-sortbyz
-windowed (with terrible, terrible results)

Help me out, someone? I'd love you forever! Me and my girlfriend really just want to play this together, haha!

problem solved.
i have change my older graphic card settings to Balance mode, and it dont like that, then set to Quality again, flicker issue gone and all is normal, i even made a MP charecter, and make own game, and rest is just tcp/ip connection who you need to talk with. (windows firewall and router + isp firewall if such service added to subscribed line )

That sounds interesting, as it's just getting the actualy multiplayer button to work that's the problem for me.
How exactly did you change the setting to "quality" as you put it? It's running through my best graphics card, rather than the integrated one and everything seems to run perfectly on it, but I still have slight flicker issues and the multiplayer button obviously won't work.

I appreciate your response and definitely look forward to wrapping this up! Thanks!

its in the nvidia menu for me. ( controll panel, then nvidia )

[LePous]

Oh man, still no joy...
Any other ideas? This is so annoying!! -_-
Heh heh...

is pc update with driver from hardware support page or if brand name pc then its that support site ?

ps.
you can also try contact game support

I am having the same issue where pushing the "Multiplayer" button does nothing. My system is Up to Date however that is besides the point considering the game :)

[Iceira]

not sure what the problem is then you cant make MP game. ?

create a MP charecter, drag him to select box, click OK

create a tcp/ip game ( ipx is old network for novel network, not use by many, more a company choise ) i even create own server game and game start up in town.

rest is firewall and what ip. adr. client use to connect to server.´

ps.
copy tekst from GoG "use gameranger to play with a friend. works flawless."

i use compatibility windows7 on exe.
and it also have remove dpi scale by app
and run as administrator.

"Create a MP charecter, drag him to select box, click OK"

How do you go about that when pushing the "Multiplayer" button does nothing? Unfortently it looks like I might need to find a new game.

[Iceira]

i dont do anything other then click that button.

its sounds like you have issue with pc is updated,

i bet something is missing and app cant access network or protocol, or something like that.

do validate game cache, if something is wrong with it.

also contact game support they might know , what this could be ?


ps.
also be sure its not a antivirus app that block it, several steam game have notice blocking issue, from security that is needed today , but it also generate game issue same time.

[LePous]

I appreciate you guys' input on this, sorry I've not replied for a while.

I've tried all of your suggestions mate, it just seems nothing is working. I also thought of the anti-virus angle, but it seems that isn't blocking it either, having made an exception for it and turning it off all togther. Really weird :s

I think Morika might be right on this one... We're just going to find something else to play.

Thanks again for your help!

could be a hardware issue, if you have a onboard INTEL card, game do require a 3D card
this game even work on my old pc, a gtx295 card ( it is a 3D game, but store page dont mentions this at all ) and we have seen some old intel onboard graphic card before not working, because missing 3D feature on them.

[LePous]

Another good idea, but I've tried running it through both my INTEL integrated graphics card and my NVIDIA one too =/
It's no worries bud, I really, really appreciate the time you've put into getting back to me on this.

Thank you :)

you should also check this.

is all drivers +BIOS update from mortherboard or if brand name pc then its that support page. ( they do have updates and it should make pc more stable. )

overclocking can also lead to unstable pc. ( its has nothing to do with this game requirements, this game can run on almost a 10-15 years old pc, if bought top ace pc back then. )

and maybe even see event viewer, why this game crash if it even make a record of it ?
