Title: Freespace
Post by: Stealth on March 01, 2005, 07:36:54 am

i was just thinking about it last night.  it's been literally years since i played a game, and even more years since i played on PXO.  what sucks is that i always used to play on 56K, but now i've got DSL, and i can't even experience a game with 0 lag (something i always wished i could).

anyway, so is anyone up for a game or two later tonight?  or maybe tomorrow?  if we get a few people together, we could all IP game :)

Isn't FS1 multiplayer down now? If it weren't, I'd get back on and play a bit.

FS2 multis just not my type anymore.

Never really got into multi-play, only tried fs1 out a bit.

We need to start counting off/numbering off our posts or something.:lol:

Man, I wish I wasn't a 56k. Trouble is, the expensive compainies signed a deal with Yahoo DSL which basically says that the expensive companies will pay Yahoo money if Yahoo refuses to offer services in our area, so if I want anything above 56, I'll have to pay about $60 a month where if DSL were available, it would be about $20 a month. Is this even legal? So much for a free country... :sigh:

This is post #11 by the way.

I'm busy with Half-life 2 right now, which is so awesome it's just one giant gaming erection.

EDIT: Hey, this is my 1066th post! Here come the Normans!

Half Life 2 pfft.

Every time I've tried to play FS2 online, its just crashed.

I wouldn't have a clue where to start for FSO multiplay, so it would take 30mins for me to set anything up.

I don't think I even have a working version of the original, I'd have to dig through some tables or do a clean install...

I thought the multi replacement was for FSO anyway? My mistake I guess...

Yes, FSO for FS2Net. Another option is tom's old engine build:
