LAN with one key

Postby TidiusFF » Thu Oct 16, 2008 4:41 pm

Hi,

Is it possible to play LAN games with only one CD-key? If not, is it suppose to appear one day?

They intend to do it, as part of saving the product from obscurity.

Has this feature been implemented in 1.2.0?

So yes. But only one person can host.

I have recently purchased a key and when I attempt to join a LAN game, I get the following:

(1) If I have used the authorisation key for both installs, I recieve a "Duplicate authorisation key" error.

(2) If I join a as a Demo user on a game hosted by my authorisation key (on my internet enabled LAN), I am unable to play any games that the Demo version is unable to host; that is, if I join a Domination game, there is no 'Ready' button.

Are these results expected?

Thanks for your quick reply, by the way!

From what I uderstand, yes this is what should happen.

It's only for the Demo available maps. So anything not in the Demo won't be available via 1 key LAN parties.

Errrr scratch that. They say any map.... So should mean any mode I would think........

I retract my comments. I do not know.

Sorry.

The "ready" button is there, it's just invisible.

It's a bug -- click where it should be and all shall be well. :)

Thanks for your prompt and knowledgeable help!

It is known and I take it as my duty to bump the report thread (it's in the private section) on every single new version it's still in :)
