Hi all,
So, I've got intermittent problems with LAN play. Three of us in a home network on Win7 machines. When I host, one other player can almost always establish a connection. But the third player, when he tries to get on, 9 times out of 10 his computer takes a long time, with him flickering out of the game and back in about three times, and then it tells him it can't connect due to network problems. After that, if he tries to reconnect, typing in the password to the server produces double-letter typing (press "A" once, it outputs "AA"). He has to restart the game to get it to stop double-typing letters.
So we repeat over and over until it finally works. But it's sort of ridiculous, and what's with the double-letter typing.
Any advice?
Thanks all,
Fish
