v1.05 multiplayer problem

May 24, 2008 9:22:07 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
ok. I have 4 computers in a lan, 2 are xp, 2 are vista. v1.04-playing with mod-no problem. v1.05-vista to vista no problem the 2 xp puter's habe gone nuts, from a different checksum to not showing the other puters to showing them but stating "your gamedata is different make sure you both have the latest patch" or some such.  I've tried reinstalling. I've tried reinstalling the network(!!). nothing is working. any suggestions or advice would help.

Did you patch/install them all by the same means? I haven't seen any reports of such this time around, but last update there were some version mismatches between SDC/Impulse/standalone patches.

d/led the patch through "update game" seperately for each computer. like I said, though, the 2 vistas are having no problems whatsoever. Is there anything that would affect vista/xp cross compatibility across a lan? The only thing I haven't done is tried taking them all to v1.0 and trying to run the game... and gawd I don't want to.

I finally got it fixed. Apparently, something on my usb card got corrupted(that's how I move around modded files and maps usually), and that was messing up the whole works on the xp computers. What got corrupted and how, I have no clue... I'm just happy to be up and running again.

when removing your USB drive make sure you go to it in the hardware manager is disable/remove it, or whatever it does in that manager, before you disconnect it form the computer physically - thats why it got corrupted.
