Can I Desperately ask....

I realise this is a rather general sweeping question but is the multiplayer LAN fixed?

My cousin and I used to play it all the time but it was buggy as hell and always eventually died because we where majorly out of sync all the time. Ranging from a split second to a good few seconds; is this fixed?

Please, please, please say it is !!

Thank you

The beta is ready to download.  The only way to tell is to try it.

[SpuddyMcFuddy]

Is it supposed to be though ?

[technoid]

Eh? What is supposed to be?  

This is a beta which means everyone is supposed to test it.  Some multiplayer aspects have been fixed, but some bugs are still lurking around or new ones have surfaced.  You and your lan buddy try the mp lan and see if you're still seeing any desyncs or any quirky network behavior.

And keep in mind, we suggest installing a new BZII folder just for 1.3-beta, so that your 1.2 version is not overwritten to.

Thank you for the reply.  It's nice to know that this superb game is still be catered for.  Hope is still out there for other games which are not "company" supported because they didn't sell enough copies !

I think this will work better for you, based on my experience with it, though your hardware and milage may vary.

I can run an MPI on my LAN with two machines for hours and hours without a burp, but it's not really a stress test or anything with just the two machines...  

Fire it up and then COME BACK HERE AND TELL US!!!
