Distinguish DLC Owner

June 5, 2013 8:32:45 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey devs!

 

I want to start off saying that the DLC is awesome, but there is one confusing thing while playing online. I dont know if a player has the DLC if he joins my game. Is there a way you could implement a notifier, if a player doesnt have the DLC and he joins your game?

 

Thanks

People who have and do not have the DLC can play together without issue.

If you host the game, anyone can join your game regardless if they have the DLC or not. Since you have the DLC, the game will have the DLC features enabled. If you joined a game hosted by someone without the DLC, the game will play like you did not have the DLC.

Oh i didnt know that

 

Thanks guys for the fast answers. I thought that if i host the game, then the DLC features wont be enabled if another player joins without it.

 

Awesome!
