Multiplayer Problem

[carmen510]

Whenever I try multiplayer on C3C 1.22, it always freezes

Help us help you. A little more information would be helpful. What happens just before the freeze? What are your system specs? Anything you can tell us about the situation would be helpful.

Well, no error message pops up. I always have to force quit. Windows XP, Verison DSL, computer 2-3 years old.

I end up exactly like the Ovulator, running WinXP Pro sp2 latest patches, and new Civ III complete. I just wanna play on my LAN! No Inernet, No Gamespy. What gives? I can play everything from Battle Ship (1997) to Age of Empires III no problem on my current LAN setup of three PC's behind a router. Help!! I wasted my money!!

Ok, Fixed it. I upgraded linksys WRT54G version 5 router to firmware version 1.00.9 from 1.00.4. Readme mentions fixes for internet gameplay. Worked Fine. Also noticed that router admin pages have options for optimizing game play from simple to complex. I didn't mess with this other than a QOS setting for giving games priority. I am interested only in LAN play, so I am happy now. I didn't waste my money! Thanks Ovulator! I think I saaw another post of yours somewhere here that lead me to this.
