Multiplayer Freezes

Post by Laraso »

Me and a friend have been having trouble playing in multiplayer.

For whatever reason, when we connect to multiplayer, one of us freezes after a short time frame (around 1 - 5 minutes). When this is happening, it will continue to happen to us, however it will only affect one of us at a time.

For example, I might connect and my friend might connect, but then my game freezes after 5 minutes. This will continue to happen to me, however my friend will be able to play without freezing. The reverse could happen, and my friend could be the one who freezes while I am able to play without freezing.

We are starting to become frustrated as this is making the multiplayer aspect of the game virtually unplayable.

Is there any way to fix this?

Is this Evochron or Arvoch? If Evochron, are you using the server program? Is this LAN or internet?

Freezing in multiplayer has been very rare, so there's not much data to go on to help determine a cause. A possible cause might include a security program potentially getting in the way, forcing the game to stop as it blocks the game's packet traffic. Or it might be a problem with the network device(s) being used. If you'd like me to review your configurations, follow the steps here: http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/faq.htm#8
