So noone has any ideas why it runs so bad in multi player in win2k for me? In win2k single player is fine and in win98 its fine single and multi but in win2k on multi it is unplayable. I thought at first it was bad pings but I get sub200 pings which in 98 is playable. If I fire a rocket it fires about 3-4 secs later! If I am running in a straight line and fire a rocket off, I will get blown up by the rocket I fired, slamming into my back! Any ideas?

Ok. Well the first thing i'd say is that it's the same setup as 98 so it's a 2k problem.. Build 2183 PII-350. creative labs banshee. scsi everywhere (main boot drive) 56k internal rockwell v90 flashed. Also tried on an external 3com v90 with the same result. Shop copy. (how anyone can warez such a top game.. they need shooting;-) 3com 905tx-b network card in this and second machine. All unnecessary tasks are killed when I play just to make sure. A friend of mine mentioned that in sp6 for NT4 there was a "feature" that held packets until they reached a certain size and then were sent. Same problem? Any other information required? Stu

UT runs fine for me on 2183 (yes I know I should update) But when I play net games it's unplayable. At first I thought it was my connection but I shut down to 98 and it was fine. The game is totally lagged. even with sub200 pings. Jerky as hell too. 2 Friends of mine both run2k and are fine so it isn't win2k but my setup. any suggestions? Stu

Nothing in there either :-( All it showed was my normal cd reader and a cdrw I temporarily added and no longer use ( cos it's shagged for some reason) I understand that it is down to the firmware of the yamaha being a worm device not a cdrom device. Thanks for the help tho.

And then what? It shows all my hd's disk 0 to disk 5 and my cdrom reader but no way to get it to detect the writer. Cheers Stu

When I run the Game.exe (version 1.1) I get "the ordinal 828 could not be located in the dynamic link library kernal32.dll" At least in rc2 it just died! Any ideas? Stu

I have a Yamaha CDR102 writer (yup it may be old but it writes cds so i'm happy) In Win2k RC3 I appears after I aplied CDRwin 3.8a ASPI layer, as a recordable device. However it doesn't appear as a device in explorer. It is id'd as a WORM device. Can I change some setting in the registry? This is how a friend of mine used to get his cdr102 to appear in winnt 4.0 Secondly. I have a modulartech mm100 tvcard. AS it uses standard bt848 chip, is there any drivers I can get to try to get it to work? Thx. Stu
