'lo all... been playing Theme Hospital a lot recently, just installed it onto the girlfriends pc on our LAN.

i'm running the latest (read: only) patch for the game, and can't get multiplayer to work at all...

there are three options
dplayipx, ipx, serial, modem

no idea what any of these do, the only two i can use are dplayipx and ipx because serial/modem say there is either a) no serial port or b) no modem present.
ipx doesn't seem to work for whatever reason.
and dplayipx does work on her machine, but just freezes on mine :eek:

its a longshot, but has anyone got a clue on how to get this one to work :confused:
 
haha cheers guys, will try the RA2 stuff later...

ironically i've just realised that i'm running Theme Hospital in windows 95 mode on my machine, and not on heres...

on my machine, it dies at the dplayipx bit... and on the girlfriends it doesn't
maybe that has something to do with it :confused:


oh and Wee, if you start playing again, be sure to get the patch for it... it adds multiplayer, easy and hard difficulties and fixes bugs of course :)

Click to expand...
indeed... already had done that (i did it when i installed XP on both machines)... but for some reason my machine just refused to go into the DplayIPX screen at all.

tried again today, girlfriend setup the game on her machine and i join on mine... worked a treat :confused:

bah either way we've got multiplayer working fine :)
