Some of you may have noticed the game crashes when you try to start a network game, as modern computers don't use the long-deprecated IPX protocol (which was already on its way out in games when Away Team was first released, curiously).

The solution is to use IPXwrapper and insert it to the game's directory.

The downside is that the multiplayer-specific menus will be slow to respond.

Thanks for the tip, but the product page of this game list the Multiplayer and SIngleplayer but the multiplayer does not work without a fix that causes lags?

Same as for a not-small percentage of old games, you need third-party software to have multiplayer. The lag here seems to be situational since it seems to check all possible adapters until you choose one to accelerate that.

Sometimes it's just a weird quirk of the aged netcode. It's not really a fault of GOG's.

But do you really need the fix? When I click on multiplayer I got the error but than I can chided tcp and this should work?

So is it confirmed that multiplayer is working properly?

If yes, could you tell us a little bit about it, please? This isn't described anywhere properly. Is it comparable to playing Infinity Engine games cooperatively?

Thank you very much!
