KyleBrogan 0 Posted October 27, 2003 You might want to check your network connections, just as a first troubleshooting idea. Next, you might want to find out if you're all using the same version of Generals, all with the same patches. Certain upgrades, even just the patches, will cause mismatches. As well, sometimes the same version, if installed on the same two computers, might cause mismatches. At the LAN Cafe that I go to, we sometimes have problems when we run more than five at a time, but just in generals. It's just too much for the network to handle. They're trying to get the funds together to install Fiber Optic cables, but because of the expense, it'll be awhile. Other than that, I don't have a clue. - Spartie Share this post Link to post

Guest Pentetrator Posted December 22, 2003 We are playing over a LAN and we had the same problem it had to do something with ICQ and an update of this. Therefor we didn't got the proper information over the network because one of the computer was trying to update during the game. So we re-installed the game and shut down all programs during the game. So enjoy you're game :lol: Share this post Link to post
