    I tried the search engine, but it didn't come up with anything.

    I really want to try out the multiplayer one player game thing. But it won't let me start a game, when i click multiplayer, i says connect, i click that, a box turns up and then dissapears so fast i can't read it. Then on the next screen the Start a game box is not selectable. What am i doing wrong?

    [​IMG] After you select Multiplayer and click connect, the program will search for the network devices on your computer -- that's probably the box that appears and then quickly disappears. After that you should see a screen that gives you four choices: TCP/IP, Join Game, Create Game, and Cancel. To start a multiplayer session for one player, use the Create Game option.

    If you don't see TCP/IP, you'll need to change the selection by clicking on it (I think the MPlayer option is the default, which only lets you Join an online game). When you do, you'll see a screen with several options on it -- I use TCP/IP (as you may have guessed). Change your selection from MPlayer, click Done, and the Create Game option should be enabled. There shouldn't be any problems from there on.

    Hope this helps!

    [​IMG] OK - the procedure is like that, mind the steps ;) :

    1. "MULTIPLAYER"
    2. "CONNECT" (after that the mentioned window will pop up and disapperar quickly, don't mind)
    3. "CREATE GAME" -> I'm not sure about the english name; there are four buttons available; it's the upper right one)
    4."NEW GAME"

    There you go, good fun :)

    PS: I already hade chosen the TCP/IP protocoll, this, however, has no influence on the steps to click through.

    Start box is not selectable because you have to check 'Stop listening for join requests' (something alike) in options screen after you have set all of your characters. After you do that, game will be ready to run and the box will be selectable
