Maybe as a community we could even hope to have the source code of the game released (after all, the game is completely dead). Well, go to this site: http://www.1999machines.de.vu/ I have already posted a few things there, and It could serve as exactly the type of thing you were talking about! -Sloik

Originally posted by ziggy95: Quote: Hi all, Thx for the patch, my son and I both love Machines too. I'm having problems playing across our LAN though, my computer (XP) freezes up after about 10 mins of play...really annoying. That happened to me too for awhile. Although mine seemed a little more random. What I did to fix this was update/reinstall my video drivers, and reinstall Machines. I can't believe Acclaim went out of business. Me and a couple of my buds once pulled an all-nighter on this game! It's the best, and I have a lot of ideas for a sequel. Yes, we should set up another website for the game. And maybe if the source code is released, we could mod it, and kind of make a sequel out of the first one, just with more features! (And we could add that virus weapon thing.)

Oh, and by the way. I also think that someone should do a sequel to this game! Hopefully if someone does, they won't mess it up. But this is the best game I have ever played in my ENTIRE life. I am desperate for a sequel with better LAN play and graphics. Oh, and a little better AI We should give some ideas to a game company or something.

I figured it out. It was just the age and stuff of the PC. Why does the LAN play lag so badly? Is there a way to fix it? Is it a result of the patch? I'm using the IPX protocal, it is said to be faster. Thanks, -Sloik

Yes! The patch worked! Thanks, guys. It has been working for me for a few days. But now after a varied time of playing, machines hangs. The music and sound effects still go, but the image is frozen. Windows still responds, because when I press ctrl-alt-del I can see my mouse, but not the task manager window. Does anyone know what is going on with the Acclaim website? When I try to go there it gives me a site under construction thing. Well, I'm going to try and reinstall machines and upgrade all of my drivers to see if it makes a difference. P.S. I play with my friends over the LAN when they're at my house. On one of the PCs that I use, most of the sound effects work, but some don't. Like the main menu button sounds, and the character talking sounds. Any ideas? Thanks. Oh, and the music still works.
